Top 10 Eid Gifts for Your Family and Friends

4 weeks ago

Eid al-Fitr, the joyous festival marking the end of Ramadan, is the time for reflection, enjoyment, praying and of course, exchanging gifts to wish Eid Mubarak. With so many options available, we understand it can feel like bustling through a crowded Eid bazaar. That’s why, we have put together a curated list of Eid gifts guaranteed to bring a smile (and maybe a happy tear) and make them go Mashallah -

1. Assorted Dates Box

Nothing beats the generous, sweet and fulfilling gift of delicious and healthy dates as they are the cornerstone of Eid celebrations. Convey Eid greetings the special way with a box of assorted and stuffed dates. Order artisanal date varieties stuffed with exotic nuts and chocolates.

2. Personalised Quran

The Quran is a precious gift for any Muslim household. Opt for a beautifully bound edition with clear and easy-to-read script. To make it extra special, consider having the recipient's name calligraphed on the first page. The gift will be cherished for years and be a forever reminder of your thoughtfulness.

3. Home Decor Gifts

Celebrate this HOLY-DAY with fancy home decor gifts. Since Eid is the festival of light (literally as well as metaphorically), give a hand-painted lantern decorated with intricate Islamic patterns. You can then go for an Eid Mubarak wooden wall hanging wall art or a pack of scented candles featuring rich floral scents with notes of rose, jasmine, geranium and praline.

4. Baklava Bites

Nobody can resist the crunchy, honey-and-pistachio-filled pastry the Baklava is! Hence, this Eid, treat them to mini baklava bites, perfect for portion control and indulging in a guilt-free way. You can even bake them yourself to give them a personal gift that speaks volumes.

5. Flower Arrangements

Brighten their Eid festivities with beautiful flowers! Popular choices include peonies (good luck and fortune), roses (the must), lilies, orchids and carnations. You can also send a combo of flowers, cakes and chocolates to surprise your family and friends. Do note that fresh flower arrangements are also a great way to decorate your home for Eid guests and make them feel welcome.

6. Perfumes

While traditional gifts like dates and sweets are always appreciated, why not consider a gift that will be a fragrant reminder of your love - a royal perfume? With countless options available, you can pick a scent that suits the recipient’s style and personality. Some of the safe bets are perfumes with notes like white tea, musk or lavender. It is preferred to opt for alcohol-free perfume sprays or oil-based attars.

7. Money or Gift Vouchers

Money or gift cards as Eidi are the ultimate last-minute lifesaver! They offer recipients the freedom to shop for something they truly need or want. Choose a gift card for a specific store or a more general one for a wider selection.

8. Toys and Books

For the little bundles of joy, pamper them with toys and books that not only entertain but also educate them about their faith. Look for puzzle sets or playsets featuring Islamic landmarks, storybooks with morals, or interactive games that teach them basic Arabic phrases.

9. Gadgets or Electronics

Gifting a high-tech gadget is a fantastic way to shower your love and affection towards your loved ones. Choose from the likes of a Bluetooth speaker for the music lover, a power bank for the on-the-go professional, noise-cancelling headphones or even the ultimate gift – a brand new phone.

10. DIY Family Tree

Since Eid is all about family gatherings, create a lasting keepsake by gifting a personalized family tree. Research your family history and chart it in an elegant frame. This will be not just another Eid gift but a conversation starter that will be a source of pride for generations to come.

Don’t Forget the Presentation

Presentation is key! Wrap your gifts in colorful tissue paper or Eid-themed wrapping. Furthermore, you can add a handmade card with a heartfelt message.
