Eid, also known as Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha, is a significant religious festival celebrated by Muslims all over the world. Gifting is a common way of wishing your loved ones on Eid. Here are some gifting etiquettes and ideas to consider:
Etiquettes:
- Consider the recipient's preferences and cultural background.
- Always wrap your gift nicely and include a handwritten card.
- Avoid giving gifts that may be considered inappropriate or offensive.
- If you're attending an Eid celebration, it's customary to bring a small gift for the host.
Gift Ideas:
- Sweets and desserts: A box of traditional Eid sweets such as dates, sweets or cakes is always a popular gift.
- Clothes: Eid is a time for new clothes and you can give your loved ones a new outfit to wear on the day.
- Home decor: Consider giving your loved ones a unique and beautiful piece of home decor that they can display during Eid.
- Books: A good book is always a great gift, especially if it's related to Islamic history or culture.
- Charitable donations: Make a charitable donation in someone's name as a meaningful Eid gift.
- Personalised gifts: Personalised gifts like photo frames, mugs, or key chains, always make for a thoughtful and sentimental gift.
Remember, the most important thing about gifting on Eid is the thought and effort that you put into it, not the price of the gift. So, choose a gift that is meaningful and expresses your love and affection.
