Well, since kids buy toys and candies with the money we give them, We give them toys and candies direct. This way, we prevent them from spending a few calories by sparing them the journey to the nearest shop. Instead, they gain more calories with the sweets...urm...not very healthy all that

Do you think they'll like raisins and sugar-free stuff?????

I just had a great idea! [warning, bad things happen when i think

]

Buy a donkey! A little one, or even a lil sheep,

just imagine the kids 'walking their sheep and donkey' Shepherds in their own town

..

Again a sweet dish wouldnt go a miss...TRIFLE!

Fruit either dried or Fresh.

candies you have to be careful as many candies are no longer halal and it is hard to keep up with the ones that have not recently begun adding haram ingrediants.

Pasteries from a Mid eastern store is always a good choice. Baklava seems to be a world favorite.

Several small age appropriate low cost toys seems to always go good. My grand kids get the el-cheapo dollar toys, usually 2 or 3 each, but I have 14 grand kids and I am a cheap skate.

AWH!that's the first time I hear about a non-muslim giving an 3eid gift to a muslim family,and I live in a very multicultural place by the way..

you're very thoughtful

Woodrow brought up a good point with the hole not-halal ingredients in sweets..so that can be a quite tricky.I also HATE giving money as a gift...it's just so impersonal..

Anw these are just your neighbors so it's no biggy,a gift card from a nice feminine shop would be nice for the mother...and boys that age,if they are athletic,would be happy with maybe a football or a basket-ball or something...That would put a smile on their faces I believe...

Everyone else's suggestion are good too!(Oh..I'd LOVE to get a cat.)

Right, I am definitely disregarding cats, sheep or donkeys as options!

Woodrow, as it happens I sampled some Pakistani sweets in one of our local Muslim grocers yesterday - and they were delicious!

Baaaaaad maaaaaan

i never got one thoe for Eid as i celebrate with step pa and stuff but no-one give me cat how rude

glo · **Re: Eid gift -** 10-07-2007

Next question then:

On which day do I give the Eid card and gift?

I asked two young lads in the local Islamic shop yesterday, and they told me on Thursday ... but surely Ramadan doesn't end until Friday or Saturday??

You could give the card a day or two before. Eid will either be on Friday or Saturday, so giving it on Thursday isn't a bad idea. If you want to give some sweets, I'd recommend you give them early on Eid day.

So you can give the card and the Rolex watches on Thursday/Friday, and the sweets early on Eid Morning.
