47 Best Eid Gifts 2026, According To A Muslim Writer
Unlike other religious celebrations like Christmas, Eid falls on a different date each year. This is because it's celebrated according to the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar. This year, Eid Al-Fitr will take place around March 19th 2026, while Eid Al-Adha will likely fall during the month of May.This March, Muslims will spend the day dressing up in new clothes (it's tradition), visiting loved ones and enjoying delicious meals like biryani. They may start their day with morning Arabic prayers at a local Mosque, before gathering with family and wishing each other ‘Eid Mubarak’, which translates to ‘have a blessed Eid’.Every family has their own traditions. For Glamour Contributor Humeara Mohamed, her childhood Eid days began with a warming bowl of sirkumu (a delicious combination of butter, milk, cardamom, sugar, saffron, almonds, vermicelli, pistachios and dates), while she and her mum waited for the men to return from the Mosque.“My dad would always come back with a rose for each of us,” she reminisces. “It was really special, and I want to continue this tradition when I have my own family one day.” Later, she would go to her grandma's house to eat biryani and give Eidi (money gifted on Eid days). “After that, we would deliver sweet treats to other families in the neighbourhood," she continues. "Now, as an adult, Eid looks a little different, but I'm keen to carry on with the sense of community and celebration that I experienced as a child.”Although many Muslims give and receive Eidi, Eid is also an occasion for physical gift-giving. However, unlike with Christmas, it isn’t as easy to find pre-made, themed or personalised gifts to mark the occasion.
