A token of your love and gratitude is all that's needed

If giving cash Eidi feels a bit impersonal, we’ve rounded up a few great Eid gift ideas that are more thoughtful than crumpled dirham notes.

Giving gifts during this holy month can be tricky; for many practicing Muslims, Ramadan is about reflecting, resetting, and reconnecting with one’s faith, rather than concentrating on the trappings of the material world.

However, after a month of iftar meals, where a platter of dried fruit or nuts or a box of chocolates went a long way, it's understandable to want to give gifts for the festive celebrations that follow.

Why not keep things super simple? And in the meantime, Ramadan Mubarak.
