Eid gifts for kids: 12 ideas they will love

Last updated: 2 November 2026

On Eid morning, children look forward to new clothes, sweets and often a little present. Here are 12 ideas sorted by type, for every budget.

Gifts that last

1. A personalised book with their name. A keepsake they will read again every year.

2. A children's prayer mat. Their size, in their colours.

3. A Ramadan lantern. It decorates their room and comes back every year.

4. A box set of stories. Traditional tales to read as a family.

Celebration gifts

5. An Eid outfit. A thobe, a kaftan or a dress: new clothes are still the favourite.

6. An Eidi envelope. A few coins or notes in a pretty envelope with their name.

7. A box of sweets to share. They give it to the neighbours or cousins themselves.

Gifts for learning

8. Arabic alphabet flashcards. Learning through play.

9. A Ramadan activity book. Colouring, mazes, quizzes.

10. A good deeds chart. Ready for next Ramadan.

Gifts for little ones

11. A "My first Eid" soft toy.

12. A lift-the-flap board book, sturdy for small hands.

Why personalised books are so popular

A child who sees their name in a story feels special. 30 Nights of Ramadan is read every evening through the month and ends on Eid morning: a gift that lasts the whole of Ramadan, and one you can give before it starts.

When to give the gift

Traditionally, gifts are given on Eid morning after the prayer. For a calendar or a book read during the month, give it just before the first night of Ramadan.
