Eid Gift Guide 2021
Wow and just like that, Ramadan is almost at an end! It’s most definitely been an interesting Ramadan; we haven’t been able to meet our family and friends for iftar, go out to our favourite restaurant as many are still closed and we’ve just been feeling sluggish in general! Well, we’ve got a great way to spruce you up: here’s our annual Eid gift guide filled with great gift ideas that are a bound to put a smile on your recipient’s face.
We’ve put together three gift guides for you – for him, her, and him and her – plus an exciting extra bonus section on gift wrapping (trust me, wrapping paper has never gotten us so excited before). Click below to take you straight there!
