The NRI Award | Funny Gift for the Videsi Friend Who’s Still Desi at Heart

“For the one who left India for a few months and now says ‘water’ like ‘vaa-dur’.”

The NRI Award is the ultimate funny gift for that friend, cousin, or colleague who packed their bags, moved abroad, and came back with a fresh accent, a love for bagels, and a sudden intolerance for Indian spice levels. This customised wooden NRI Award Standee is a playful tribute to the person who now refers to India as “back in my home country” and treats every trip home like an exotic vacation — complete with Instagram stories of chai, golgappas, and rickshaw rides captioned “nothing beats home ❤️”.

This 12-inch custom engraved wooden trophy is for the one who now measures temperature in Fahrenheit, talks about weather like they’re on the news (“It’s like 100 degrees here today!”), and throws around phrases like “Oh, we don’t get this back home” — referring to their apartment in New Jersey that costs ₹2 lakhs a month. Whether they’re reminiscing about “snowy mornings” or comparing everything to dollars (“Bro, that’s just $5!”), this funny NRI Award trophy is guaranteed to have everyone in splits — especially the recipient, who will probably respond with “Haha, it’s true though!”

Who Is The Custom Engraved NRI Award Trophy For?

• The Accent Converter: That friend who left for 6 months and now says “vaa-dur” instead of “paani” and “zee-bra” instead of “zebra”.
• The Measurement Confuser: The one who talks in Fahrenheit and miles but still asks “Bhaiya, 1 kilo aloo kitne ka?” at the local market.
• The Food Critic: The person who can’t handle Indian spice anymore — “I need it mild, yaar. I’m not used to this anymore.”
• The Nostalgic Tourist: That cousin who takes photos with auto-rickshaws and posts captions like “Throwback to my roots” — even though they left India last year.
• The Dollar-Rupee Calculator: The one who converts everything to dollars — “Bro, this samosa would be $1.50 in the US!”
• The “Back Home” Commenter: The person who says “Back home, we have this amazing organic store” — as if they didn’t grow up next to a kirana shop.

Whether it’s for a welcome-back party, a family gathering, or just a fun reunion, the NRI Award is the perfect funny gift that will have everyone laughing — especially the recipient, who will probably post a photo with the caption “Humbled to receive this. India will always be home.”
