So, take your pick from these beautiful, practical, and planet-friendly finds to help you share the joy of the season (even if you’ve left it a little late).
Innara Ramadan Collection, AED 120
For a gift that brings together beauty and sustainability, the Innara Crescent Candle is a standout choice. Hand-poured with eco-friendly soy wax in the UAE, this special edition is set in a crescent-shaped holder made from upcycled concrete waste.
The candle’s soft glow creates a calming atmosphere for quiet moments or setting the tone for Eid evenings. Choose from a range of regional scents including Rose Oud, Tempting Musk, Oud or Ombre Oud and a holder that comes in either black or neutral. Thoughtful, modern, and made with purpose.
The Gathering Set from PLNTD, AED 575
PLNTD’s Gathering Set is a beautiful gift designed to bring people together. Alongside an easy-care indoor plant, it includes date truffles, a pair of hand-crafted kahwa cups, and a bedouin oud candle. It also comes with a set of playing cards in hand-written Arabic calligraphy celebrating the 13 levels of friendship.
Choose from a White Anthurium, White Orchid, or a Peace Lily, paired with a planter inscribed with “نور على نور” (Light upon Light) in hand-drawn traditional Arabic calligraphy. This can also be personalised. Designed in the UAE, it’s perfect for bringing a little greenery into your celebrations, or giving something that lasts long after the holiday ends.
Diamind – Zenith Bracelet, AED 1,710
For someone truly special, gift timeless beauty with the Zenith Bracelet. Its half-and-half design, featuring a sleek 18-carat gold chain on one side and a row of lab-grown baguette diamonds on the other, symbolises balance between day and night, bold and delicate.
Thoughtfully made with lab-grown stones, this bracelet offers the same brilliance as mined diamonds – without the environmental cost.. Part of the new Celestial Collection, this bracelet is a standout from the collaboration with Hannah Rasekh – a sustainability advocate and expert in regenerative design. Whether for a loved one or yourself (why not, we say?) it’s a modern heirloom for those who value both style and sustainability.
The Lush Cresecnt Glow Set, AED 150
Celebrate Eid with a gift that’s just a little bit indulgent. The Lush Crescent Glow Set features two limited-edition shower treats made especially for the season: the Basma body scrub to gently exfoliate and leave skin feeling smooth, and the Salam shower gel, bursting with berry goodness.
It’s all wrapped in 100 per cent recycled paper featuring artwork by Nancy Kouta, a Beirut-based illustrator known for her colourful designs. Even the box, cord and packing materials are made from recycled and eco-friendly materials, so it’s a feel-good Eid gift in every sense.
RocknShine Keffiyeh – Linda
The Keffiyeh – Linda is a contemporary take on the traditional Palestinian black and white keffiyeh featuring hand-embroidered detailing by crafted by skilled artisans in Jordan’s Jerash refugee camp. The durable fabric offers protection from both heat and cold and is versatile enough to be styled in multiple ways.
By gifting this Keffiyeh, you’re not only embracing a piece of Palestinian heritage but also extending support to artisans whose communities are deeply affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This thoughtful choice contributes to preserving cultural identity and provides much-needed assistance to those striving to rebuild amidst adversity.
Nakhla Drawer by Bateel, AED 1,630
The Nakhla Drawer by Bateel is a standout choice for all genders this Eid. With its mirrored gold finish and hand-painted date palm design – a symbol of Bateel’s organic date farm in Al Ghat, Saudi Arabia – this beautiful drawer is crafted by skilled Peruvian artisans and designed to be cherished long after the last date is enjoyed.
Inside, you’ll find an assortment of certified organic dates, both plain and gourmet-filled, each handpicked for quality and flavour. Thoughtful and reusable, the Nakhla Drawer is a beautiful way to celebrate Eid, and show that you care about the planet, too.
Hatta Honey Gift Box, AED 525
This beautiful box features three generous jars of 100 per cent pure, natural Emirati honey – Sidr, Samar, and Ghaf. Each is harvested from native trees known for their unique flavours – thanks to the different nectar bees collect from their flowers. Sidr is rich and caramel-like, known for its immune-boosting and digestive properties. Samar offers a lighter, earthy flavour with anti-inflammatory benefits, while Ghaf honey, drawn from the UAE’s national tree, has a nutty taste and is traditionally used to support respiratory health.
You’ll also find chocolate-covered dates and crunchy nuts to share with family and friends. By giving the gift of local honey, you’re also supporting local beekeepers and helping to protect the pollinators our ecosystems depend on. A meaningful way to celebrate Eid, with free shipping, too.

You can’t go wrong with the gift of plumper, dewier skin and the Soothe & Protect Trio from Ashri Skin delivers just that.
