Miscellaneous: All what I added to the packing list on my Uzbekistan writings applies for Tashkent as well:
travel light, bring a daypack, something to cover your arms when visiting holy Uzbek places, sunscreen, solid shoes, Russian phrasebook and calculator. Maybe toilet paper from home :-).

Generally, Tashkent has so many of the usual shopping possibilities that you will find here almost everything you might have forgotten.
