- Personalise a fabulous halal Ramadan hampers from Salam Direct, or send one internationally with Gift Baskets Overseas.
- Order someone else a tailored (made to measure) abaya from Etsy.
- Look into purchasing Eid goody bags for little ones. The 'Surprise Loot bag' from Soundvision is a hit.
- Save the disorganised with this Ayaat-a-day Islamic calendar.
- Subscribe your favourite family to emel, surprise your neighbour's children with the Little Explorers magazine, and give the folks at the masjid a Sisters Magazine to read or the Muslim man mag Muslim Quarterly. (Note: reward yourself - get rid of the television).
- Buy unique Islamic engraved jewellery by Deen Carrier. (I did!)
- Give your friends handmade Eid cards, get them customised or buy in bulk! A hundred Eid cards are on sale by Muslim Base. Texts and e-cards are easy; we're talkin' about writin' the love ol'school.
More gift ideas:
- Find a duff, practise a nasheed song and play a game of 'guess that tune'. Or, opt for the easier option of 'donate £1/$1 towards my public karaoke'. [Buy a book of Eid songs]. Donate that collection to the nearest charity.
- If you're feeling creative, style small bread baskets with gifts and give to all your visitors on Eid. You could even sell them. (I do!)
- Make / sell iftar packs of dates and chocolates and give all proceeds to the poorest person you know.
- Take all the women on your street for a mass Eid salah. Make sure to order several babysitters for their children.
- Make your own goody bags and donate to children's wards at the local hospital!
- Pay for someone's Eid meal.
