    Wow, wow.... look out mate. You've posted this question in the wrong section. This is, however, partly understood since there is no direct section dedicated to Pakistan. Still, only any Pakistani visitor to Delhi&NCR section would be able to answer this correctly.

    On my part, I'd say if you were visiting Indian Punjab, then I'd have advised you to bring something related to the Sikh heritage, like the Golden Temple, Sikh Gurus, folk dance, etc. This is because Indian Punjab has a Sikh majority while even the Hindus and Muslims residing there are immensely secular and have no less sentiments for the Sikh culture and practices.

    As for the Pakistani Punjabi, I'd say it's tough to answer your question. For that you'll have to first specigy what community are you visiting. In Pakistani Punjab, there is a comprehensive Muslim majority as is with the rest of that country. While there are many secular people in that side of Punjab, which incidentally is Pakistan's most developed province, there still are several having orthodox views. So, if you're sure the people you're visiting are secular-minded, then you may go ahead with the same presents as I have mentioned above in the case of Indian Punjab, for it is Sikhism that the entire Punjab has historically been associated with! I guess Gurudwaras that fall in India would be better presents to Pakistani Sikhs, some key ones being Golden Temple, Sis Ganj, Bangla Sahib, etc.

    In case you're unsure about your hosts' mentality and in case they're Muslims, then I'd say any piece centred about their culture would be good. You could gift them something related to Islamic herotage, like Islamic verses, Mecca, Lahore's heritage, Faisal Mosque of Islamabad, etc. They'd certainly be pleased with such presents.
