In our family, we skip grand birthday celebrations and enjoy a quiet evening instead. There’s no presents or balloons, just each other’s company over a nice dinner either at home or at a favorite restaurant. But when Eid comes around, since it’s the only time the children receive gifts, we take that very seriously and go all out. I have compiled my favorite Eid gifts over the last 10 years that the children in our family have enjoyed. Most of these can be purchased locally in the United States from stores like Target or through Amazon.

I hope this list helped you to find something special for the little people in your life. In our family, we usually like to have our Eid gifts picked out well in advance. In fact, even before the start of Ramadan. When does your family shop for Eid gifts? Before Ramadan, last minute or somewhere in the middle?
