15 meaningful gift ideas for your loved ones this Eid

Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated across the world by Muslims at the end of the holy month of Ramadan. It is marked by the sighting of the new moon. Families come together, often for lunch, eat good food, wear new clothes and exchange gifts. It is a celebration like no other.

However, COVID-19 has forced many to stay indoors and celebrate in isolation. We can try to make it a little special by gifting our loved ones. Eid gifts are an expression of love, gratitude and respect.
