Shalimar Gift Shop Puducherry

This is the first place I think of when I need to buy a gift! They have an amazing collection, and the staff is friendly too.

It's one of the better gift shops in Pondicherry, but the prices are a bit high and they are not willing to reduce them. The service is good, but I wouldn't recommend getting gift wrapping done here. The workers use old, poor-quality wrapping paper. Apart from that, the shop has good lighting, nice infrastructure, and some antique collections.

The place is very expensive. The staff is hesitant to show products to customers and expect you to buy whatever they show, even if the products are damaged. If you ask for better options, they'll ask you to leave. It's overhyped.
