Eid Gift Ideas for the Special Men in Your Life
Eid is our festive time and the best moment to get the men in your life some special gifts. Our two Eids should be the occasions on which we give the best gifts in the year, instead of at other times. I once heard a scholar say that as Muslims, we are not meant to have so many celebrations that drain our pockets, time, and resources. He said that Allah SWT does not burden us, and that’s why having two celebrations a year is so manageable.
Eid is the time I like to give the best gifts to the menfolk in my circle when I can afford them. Some years I am able to give bigger gifts, and other years I have to keep it frugal. Many women find it extra challenging to come up with creative gift ideas that are both thoughtful and practical for the men in their lives. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of 15 Eid gift ideas for your husband, father, brother, or adult son.
1. Smart Watch
A smartwatch is a great gift for the tech-savvy man in your life. It allows him to stay connected to his phone, track his fitness goals, and receive notifications without having to take his phone out of his pocket. You can get him a regular smartwatch to fit a smaller budget, or an Apple watch or Android watch if you have a bigger budget.
2. Thobe
A thobe is a really nice gift for a Muslim guy as he can wear it on Eid day, for Friday jummuah, when he goes to the masjid, or if he likes the comfort and coolness during the summer. In many countries, men wear a thobe as their daily garment, so it’s a much-needed gift, and you can get him more than one in different colors according to your budget.
3. His Favorite Snacks or Beverages
Gift the men in your life some edibles, such as their favorite sports snacks, non alcoholic beverages, or go a level up and give him a sunnah gift of Zamzam water and dates.
4. Islamic Wall Art
A gift of Islamic wall art can be a welcome addition to a man’s office or workspace at home. It is not only beautiful to look at, but it also serves as a source of inspiration for daily life.
5. Attar Perfume
Attar perfume is made from natural ingredients and is alcohol-free. It's a great gift for a man who prefers a more natural fragrance. However, if your guy likes cologne, you can also gift him one of his favorite!
6. Special Mug
A smart mug can keep a drink warm for hours, so it's a great gift for a man who enjoys his cup of coffee or tea hot. You can also get him a personalized travel mug or one he can proudly take to work.
7. Shoes
A good pair of shoes can make all the difference in terms of comfort and style for a man. Sneakers are a great gift for a guy who loves sports, and dress shoes are good for the man who wears a more formal attire.
8. Travel Bag or Briefcase
A carry-on bag is a practical gift for a man who travels frequently, or a backpack for the guy who loves adventure. If your guy is more formal, you can get him a new briefcase for work.
9. Smart Clock
A smart clock can do much more than tell time. It can play music, set alarms, and even provide weather updates. It's a great gift for a man who likes to stay organized and on schedule.
10. BBQ Grill
A barbecue griller machine can be used indoors by the man who likes the taste of grilled foods but wants to do it in a more convenient way. Alternatively, you can get him an outdoor grill for weekends or for social gatherings if he loves to barbecue.
11. Coffee Machine
A coffee machine is an awesome gift for the man who loves his cup of joe. He can make coffee-shop-quality drinks right at home, and you can purchase a single-serve machine if he’s the only coffee drinker or a more expensive coffee machine that will foam his cream.
12. Mobile Accessories
A wireless charging station can charge multiple devices at once, or you can get him a portable charger to use on the go. It's a great gift for a man who has to use his phone a lot for business.
13. Tool Kit
A tool kit is a prized gift for the handyman who likes to do DIY projects around the house. You can also look into car tool kits specifically for a guy who likes to work on his vehicles or electric tools if he does more complicated house renovations.
14. Massage Tools
Which guy doesn’t need a good massage after a hectic day of work? This gift is highly underrated, though many men will appreciate having a tool to massage their aches away. There are various options available to fit your budget, such as handheld massagers, over-the-shoulder massagers, foot massagers, massage mats, and even massage chairs.
15. Beard Trimmer
Most guys will appreciate a quality beard trimmer. You can find sets that include a hair, nose, and ear trimmer as well, and you can also add in a grooming set if you want to make your gift bigger.
In conclusion, giving Eid gifts to the special men in your life is a great way to express your love and appreciation for all that they do. Whether you're looking for a practical gift or something more sentimental, I hope this list of Eid gift ideas for guys will make your task a little easier. :)
