Eid Gifts for Her 

As we soon approach the middle of Ramadan, the WonderDays team have been looking ahead to Eid al Fitr the festival of breaking the fast which is celebrated at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.  

Eid al-Fitr is a time for family gatherings, feasting, giving charity (known as Zakat al-Fitr), and showing gratitude for the strength and patience exhibited during Ramadan. At this time, gifts are often exchanged as a way to celebrate the occasion, show appreciation, and show goodwill. 

Traditional types of gifts that people might gift or receive during Eid celebrations would often include: 

Money or Eidi 

One of the most traditional gifts is Eidi, which is usually money given to children and sometimes to friends or extended family. It symbolises generosity and is a way to make the occasion more festive, particularly for younger people. 

Sweets and Treats! 

Sweets are a huge part of Eid celebrations, as families prepare special desserts like baklava, kunafa, ma'amoul, as well as dates stuffed with nuts. Boxes of high-quality sweets or chocolates are common gifts exchanged between family and friends. 

Clothing 

New clothes are often worn to mark the occasion, and giving new clothing as a gift is a common practice. Traditional attire, such as abaya as Eid gifts for her or a thobe for men, is often given, as well as other stylish or comfortable outfits. 

Perfume and Fragrances 

Perfume or attar (a traditional non-alcoholic fragrance) is a thoughtful and luxurious gift during Eid. Many people enjoy wearing new fragrances for the occasion. 

Gifts during Eid are not only about the item itself but also about the thoughtfulness behind them, showing love and care for the recipient. Experience days can make fantastic Eid gifts as they offer unique and memorable moments rather than physical items. Here are some experience day ideas that could be great Eid gifts for her: 

 Spa Day or Wellness Retreat 

A day of relaxation and pampering at a spa is an ideal gift for someone who enjoys unwinding. You can find experiences offering massages, facials, and other rejuvenating treatments. This would be a lovely way for someone to unwind after the busy days of Eid celebrations. 

Cooking Classes or Culinary Experiences 

For those who love food and cooking, you could gift a cooking class or a culinary experience. This could be a chance to learn new recipes, such as traditional dishes, or even take a class on dessert-making (think baklava or other Eid sweets). It’s a gift that combines learning and enjoying food, perfect for someone who loves to cook. 

Perfume Making Experience 

Gift a personalised perfume consultation with a trained expert, where she will have the opportunity to create her own bespoke fragrance. During this 2-hour session, you will receive a bottle of your custom scent in a beautifully packaged atomiser, complete with your fragrance name. 

This experience is available for an unlimited number of participants, with private sessions offered for groups of 10 or more. You can choose between the Gold and Platinum experiences, and enhance your visit with an afternoon tea option, which caters to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free preferences. 

Ballooning Experience 

A balloon ride could definitely make for a unique and memorable Eid gift, especially for someone who enjoys adventure or wants to experience something special. Eid is all about celebrating with loved ones, and a hot air balloon ride can be a great way to share a special moment together, whether it's with a spouse, friend, or family member. It’s a unique gift for her to enjoy and could become a beautiful memory tied to the celebration of Eid. 

Monetary Gift Card 

If you want to take a twist on the tradition of Eidi then why not treat her to an Experience Day Gift Card. The tradition of money is still offered, but with the forethought of the recipient getting something to treat themselves on an experience they will treasure forever. Simply select the value you’d like to give them, from £25 up to £500, and choose whether you want instant email delivery, or the gift card printed and sent to your door. 

Eid is all about celebrating moments with those we love, creating memories that last, and embracing the spirit of giving. Whether you're gifting something traditional, like new clothes or sweet treats, or opting for an experience that offers unforgettable moments, the true value lies in the thought and care behind it. This Eid, why not think outside the box and surprise her with an experience she’ll cherish forever?
