What gifts do you give for Eid?
Gift-giving during Eid is a cherished tradition that brings joy and strengthens family bonds. While cash gifts are traditionally given to children by parents and relatives, many families also exchange thoughtful presents to mark this special celebration.
With such a variety of options, many wonder: what is the best Eid gift? Traditional Eid gift ideas often include new clothes (particularly for wearing to Eid prayers), chocolates and perfume. Modern gift-giving has evolved to include everything from traditional items such as prayer beads and Quran stands to presents like jewellery, watches and home accessories, such as candles.
Matching pyjamas for all the family have become a popular option in recent years. Look out for designs featuring seasonal motifs or opt for classic styles.
Traditional Eid gifts
While chocolate is popular, dates are a traditional Eid gift, reflecting the practice of breaking the Ramadan fast as the Prophet Muhammad did. Why not choose our luxury fresh fruit and date selection, a lovely assortment for sharing? Another popular edible gift during Eid are mithai, a selection of delicious sweets and desserts.
Just as dates honour ancient traditions, Eidyah (a blend of ‘Eid’ and ‘hadiyah’ meaning Eid gifts) continues the custom of elders giving money to children during Eid celebrations. This gesture symbolises appreciation for their participation in fasting or prayers.
As Eid is an important event in the Muslim calendar, gifting new clothes for loved ones to wear during the time is also a very popular gift idea. A gift card can solve all your gift-giving dilemmas and lets your loved one choose exactly what they want – useful when you want to give clothes – plus is doubly handy if they are saving up for one large item.
