Does anyone else remember these Eid Memories?
Growing up, I would wait eagerly for my dad to come home after Eid Namaz. He would hand me my Eidi money, and I’d rush to put it in my money box! The same excitement came from my grandparents, aunties, and uncles who all gave me Eidi. At the end of the day, after visiting everyone’s houses, I would go in my room, count all the money, and stash it in my money box—that is if my mum hasn’t 'put it away safe for me!
(Boy version of 10 year old me)
Nowadays, growing up, I find myself receiving less and less Eidi and gifting more! I never realized how hard it was, and now I understand why they all gave us money!! But handing over money feels a little impersonal, and I’ve come to prefer giving actual gifts instead!
If you’re looking for the perfect Eid gift this year, I’ve got you covered with thoughtful, unique, and meaningful ideas for every recipient.

How to Choose the Perfect Eid Gift (The Fun Way!) 🎁✨
Picking the perfect Eid gift is like choosing the best samosa from the plate—exciting but a little tricky! Do you go for the classic (money), the sentimental (personalized gifts), or the unexpected (pet camel... just kidding, maybe a plush one)?
Here’s how to make sure your gift is a winner:
🎯 Know Your person: Is it for a child who will definitely shake the box before opening? A parent who says they don’t need anything (but secretly love thoughtful presents)? Or a sibling who only accepts gifts that are "aesthetic"?
🎨 Personal Touch Wins: A tote bag or, a book they’ve been eyeing, or a framed photo of a special memory? Gold stars for effort! ⭐
🎁 Useful but Fun: Skip the boring and find something practical but exciting—keyring for your friend who just got a new car! Stylish home décor, or a scented candle that smells like Eid morning (think: cardamom, rose, and happiness).
💖 Give from the Heart (Or the Wallet 😆): Whether it’s a thoughtful present or a donation made in their name, Eid gifting is all about spreading joy!
💸 Still Gifting Money? Make It Special! If you’re going the traditional route with Eidi, why not present it in a stunning The Online Souq Eid Card? ✨ Elegant, stylish, and available in loads of different patterns to match the recipient’s tastes and personality. Plus, you can add a personalized, heartfelt message to make it extra special! 💌
And if all else fails… chocolate. Chocolate always works. 🍫😋
