Culturally, it’s a time to express joy and celebrate all the hard work put into Ramadan. In many parts of the world, it’s common to gift children money on Eid al-Fitr. In North America, however, the tradition has evolved. It’s now common to give children and adults thoughtful and useful Eid gifts.

Eid is a time to visit family, so for parents, aunts, or uncles, we’ve curated a few items that we think they may like from wall art to an innovative stretching product.
