Eid is the day to pray, spread love and celebrate with our loved ones while remembering Allah. There are two major Eids in the Islamic calendar year: Eid al-Fitr earlier in the year and Eid al-Adah later in the year. This is the time when people greet each other by exchanging sweets and gifts. So, when it comes to expressing joy and celebrating all the hard work put into Ramadan, some useful and thoughtful gifts can show the warmth of your wishes to the people you care for. Let’s get into the details of how to make it happen with different gift ideas-
Get a Quick Entry to The Heart with Food Hampers
Since Eid is celebrated after a month of fasting, food can be an excellent choice to gift and celebrate with. Well, some people can be picky eaters or may have food restrictions. Hence, make sure to consider the eating habits of the other person and curate a gourmet hamper keeping the person’s likes and dislikes in mind. Also, be aware of not including pork in any of the items not even gelatin. However, if you want to keep it light, a platter of dried fruits, a handmade chocolate set, a chocolate and note bouquet etc. can be the perfect choice. But, let’s say you want to go big. A packet of laccha, siway, dates, and some dwy sweets always bring charm to the vibes of Eid. In terms of packaging, you can try a pinewood basket, a jute basket, or any other baskets of your choice and decorate that with artificial flowers or colorful ribbons. A gourmet hamper is always the safest option for any occasion, if you can customize it as per the specialty of the festival.
A note to keep in mind: Try not to put perishable items in the hamper as you have to keep the safety and shelf life of the items in mind.
Make It Delight for the Taste Bud with Drinks
Challenge taste buds with impressive flavours from some good brands or try some homemade recipes from lemonade to lassi to gift on this occasion of Eid. Moreover, assorted tea boxes could be an impressive gift option, where you will find an assortment of teas, branded chocolates and a pack of honey for the sweetness. Besides, a customised mug with pouches of coffee and hot chocolate in it can win the hearts of children and young adults.
Include Eidi to Gift Tokens of Love
The custom of giving money to young adults and children is called Eidi or Eidiyah. This tradition has been in practice since the Middle Ages and has evolved over time, and also known as salami or green envelopes. However, there is no set amount of money to give to Eidi. A lot of factors like the age of children, affordability, closeness etc. determine how much money you want to put in. So, when it comes to giving some cash to dear ones, why not make it special by putting the money inside customised money envelopes?

Clothes are one of the most treasured items in everyone’s life. So, be it men or women, good pieces of clothing can be wardrobe staples ensuring they think of you each time they wear it.
