The Ultimate Guide to Meaningful Eid Gifts:
Personalized Jewelry and More
Eid is such a significant time, bringing people together to celebrate and give thanks. With that, many people show their loved ones they care with meaningful gifts. If you’re struggling for inspiration, we’re here to help, with a range of stunning Eid gifts that your loved one will appreciate. We also have options for every budget! So, prepare to feel inspired by our meaningful Eid gifts!
Personalized Jewelry
Firstly, we have personalized jewelry, which is such a wonderful gift to give to someone you care about. Choosing Islamic jewellery designed with meaning and beliefs embedded will serve as a wonderful reminder of the meaning of Islam all year round.
There are so many options, from Arabic bracelets with engravings from the Quran, personalized Arabic name necklaces to remind the person to celebrate their individuality, jewelry that appreciates meaningful locations within Islam, and so much more. Think about the person’s core values and try to align the personalized jewelry with that. We’d recommend choosing a piece from a jeweler that is either solid gold or silver, or plated, to make sure that the person you’re gifting to can wear the jewelry forever without it tarnishing or getting damaged!
Wall Hangings
Another good Eid gift is to choose Islamic wall art or wall hangings. So many beautiful options are available out there that carry such beautiful meanings and can add a wonderful design feature to their home. This is quite a personal choice, so make sure it’s something that you know will resonate with them and fit into their home. You could go for stainless steel cut-out pieces that make a stunning statement on the wall; you could choose beautiful framed prints featuring Arabic calligraphy or create something more personalized that embodies that person’s core values.
Not only will this be deeply meaningful, but it will also be a reminder of how much you care about them in your home. If you’re not sure whether there is space in the person’s home, perhaps avoid this one, and you could always do something in a smaller frame for them so that they can sit on a surface in their home. It has the same sentiment but will be convenient to suit their home, which is always important when choosing a gift.
Customized Prayer Mats
Another option you should consider is customized prayer mats. These stunning mats can be personalized with the recipient’s name and a meaningful message. This isn’t something someone would usually buy for themselves, which is why they make such a great gift, particularly for Eid. Choose the design, material, and message you want, and we’re sure the recipient will appreciate the gesture.
Flowers (Fresh or Preserved)
In Islam, flowers represent hope, renewal, and spirituality, making them the ideal gift for Eid. This is a great gift to suit every budget, plus you have so many options to suit the flowers to what the person would love. You can get fresh flowers, which always brighten up the home and result in the most beautiful scent, or another lovely idea is to get preserved flowers.
Roses particularly symbolize devotion, love, and the soul, and there are so many places where you can buy preserved bouquets that last for years. Or, you could get dried bouquets of their favorite flower or something meaningful to them. Everyone loves flowers, so this is a great gift if you want to spend a bit less money.
Sweet Hamper
Sweet treats are always eaten around Eid, so a hamper of their favorite sweet items is a lovely Eid gift and one that can suit your budget. You could handmake some of the items if you wanted to, which would make it even more meaningful, or you could buy items and create the hamper.
Things like Baklava, sweet samosas, Kanafeh, stuffed dates, filled cookies, nougat, and similar foods will all be wonderful to put into the hamper, so make sure to choose their favorites. This is easy to put together; you can easily tailor it to things they like; it can suit every budget; and if you make some elements yourself, it will mean so much to them.
