What Are The Best Eid Gifts for Kids?

We have already talked in our previous posts about the best Eid gifts for him and for her, and today, it’s all about the little ones.

I personally like to go the extra mile when it comes to giving gifts to children, I don’t like handing gifts in the shopping bags they came in.

  • Pick just the right gift.
  • Either go shopping for the gift or make it.
  • Wrap it in festive paper and with ribbons, bows, glitter, and stickers.
  • Make a card to go with it.
  • See how the child’s face lights up with joy with your added effort.

Why Should Eid Gifts Be Special?

When I became a mother I vowed to make eid special for my kids, why is that? Christmas is portrayed as a magical and special occasion, no matter how hard we try kids cannot escape from all that goes on social media. It is binding upon us to make sure they know Eid is equally special. Hence, the decor and gifts should be planned a month before the arrival of Eid.

It is becoming a common practice, due to increase in online education and screentime kids avoid reading books because of added strain it might cause to the eyes. But they love listening to stories. Here are some sites that provide audiobooks as well. Connect your device to a Bluetooth speaker at bedtime and children can fall asleep listening to their favorite stories.

1- DIY Eid Gifts for Kids

  • Coupon Book- You can get them expensive gifts but one thing you will never be able to buy is the time you spend with them, instead of spending countless hours in stores looking for gifts, this homemade present is my personal favorite. All you need is paper or card stock, markers, stickers, and a creative mind. Just requires some cutting, printing, and pasting. Depending on what type of activities going on at home or you would want to spend more time together as a family, the coupons can be designed accordingly. Include activities such as extra screen time, a trip to the park, after-dinner dessert, an afternoon spent baking cookies, favorite dinner, game night, movie night, there are a ton of ideas when you start thinking. Anything and everything can be incorporated, obviously, terms and conditions apply they cant be used during school nights or during assessment week, or just 2 coupons can be used during the week. You can get as creative as you want.
  • Playdough Kit- This is for kids who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. The best part about it is the homemade playdough which is safe even your child tries to take a bite. All you need is playdough, cutters, and a rolling pin if you can’t find playdough cutters, cookie cutters will work fine as well.
