Giving a gift nobody else will give is harder than it sounds. If you want something handmade, beautiful and genuinely different, with a story behind it, handicrafts from Multan, Pakistan are in a category of their own. Here are ten ideas, from small and affordable to statement pieces.
Why Pakistani Handicrafts Make Great Gifts
Most gifts come from the same few shops. Multan’s blue pottery and camel skin lamps come from long-standing local craft traditions. Every piece is painted by hand, so no two are exactly alike, and that makes each gift one of a kind.
Every item below is handmade in Pakistan and available from Zayak Craft, a TDAP-registered exporter based in Multan. We ship worldwide with tracking; delivery times by country are on our Shipping Policy page.

1. Blue Pottery Mug: The Everyday Gift
A hand-painted cobalt and turquoise mug gets used every day, which makes it a gift that is remembered. Each one is painted individually, so no two are identical.
2. Blue Pottery Tea Set
A 9-piece hand-painted tea set is a generous gift for weddings, Eid and new homes, and it brings Multan’s best-known craft straight to the table.
