Hi everyone, I am Russian nationality but my friend is Indian (Punjabi, Sikh). I was invited to her son's birthday party (we are very good friends as well as my kids with her kids). Birthday party is not only for her son but also husband (birthday dates close to each other). In my understanding (traditions and mentality the way I was brought up) I need to get presents to both. No issue to buy kids presents ;-) but have no idea about traditions/understandings of Indian/Punjabi and is it acceptable/not acceptable being friend of wife give present to husband? And what kind of gift is suitable in such case? I will not have time to go shopping (due to work) before birthday day, so need to order on-line. At the moment I chosen leather wallet with keyring set (its gift set, nice in box, quality brand). Or such present would be considered as too personal from point of Indian traditions/understandings.
If I get it wrong she will just play jokes on me probably (she knows I mean "no harm") but I would not want it to be understood in wrong way by her husband, her parents or any one else
P.S. we live in UK
