Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims around the world. For 30 days, they fast from sunrise to sunset; each day, the fast is broken with the post-sunset meal of Iftar, which begins by biting into a date. This year, Ramadan begins March 10, 2024, and is expected to end April 11 with the holiday of Eid-al-Fitr, a festive celebration of new clothes, delicious food, giving Eid gifts to kids, and spending time with family and friends. During Ramadan, Muslims are encouraged to be more generous and giving, and appreciate what they have. So, what better way to express these traits than gift-giving?
Since the pandemic, there's been an increase in gift-giving during Ramadan and Eid as a way to nurture relationships and honor community and family. With lockdown in place at the time, it may have felt isolating to be unable to celebrate and observe with loved ones at home and at mosques. As people took to sending Ramadan care packages and gifts for Eid as well as dropping off homemade food at neighbors' doorsteps, such acts of service and gift-giving became more and more popular.
Whether you're looking to give a present to a relative, best friend, or coworker, we've curated great Ramadan and Eid gift ideas that are perfect to send, no matter if they're long-distance or right next-door. From organic dates and prayer rugs to gift baskets and cute kitchen items, there are plenty of creative, thoughtful ways to send love and blessings during this holy month. Here are the best gifts to give family, friends, and kids for Ramadan and Eid in 2024.
