Sale Hunters: Ramadan Gifts Special

4 Mar 2025

The holy month has begun, and it is not just a time for fasting and prayer — it is also a month of deep tradition and connection. One of those traditions? Gift-giving. While presents are often exchanged at the beginning and end of Ramadan, they are also shared throughout the month — especially when invited to an Iftar. But what makes the perfect Ramadan gift? It can be anything from delicious treats for the table to something personal or even a thoughtful addition to the home. We have put together a selection of gifts (some are even on sale right now!) that might be just what you are looking for — or at least spark some ideas!

Ramadan gifts for those who love to shine

Brooches are timeless — elegant, versatile, and packed with meaning. The Hzmer Jewelry Luxo Bee Brooch is a nod to hard work and community, perfect for someone who embodies the spirit of Ramadan. If you want to bring a little celestial magic, the Stone-Embellished Starburst Brooch is a dreamy piece that feels like a blessing wrapped in gold. And for those who cherish deeper symbolism, the Tree of Life Brooch is all about growth, resilience, and interconnectedness.

Statement pins that speak volumes

Not all brooches are classic; some are effortlessly cool. The Undercover Clip Pin turns a simple safety pin into an edgy yet meaningful detail. The Jil Sander Oversized Leaf Brooch is pure minimalism with a twist, a sculptural piece that brings nature into design. And if you love a little whimsy, the Andres Gallardo Key Pin is just poetic — a key to unlocking something beautiful, whether it is a new journey or just a fresh perspective.

For the candle lovers

The right scent can transform a space, setting the mood for peaceful evenings. The Assouline Travel Set From Home Candles is perfect for someone who loves a variety of scents that evoke memories. For something warm and cozy, the Paul Smith Daydreamer Candle is all about deep relaxation, while the Haeckels Dreamland Candle is made for those quiet, reflective Ramadan nights.

Something for your workspace

Sometimes, small gifts hold the most charm. The Smythson Gift Box is an elegant set for someone who loves journaling or sending handwritten notes. For the detail-obsessed, the Maharishi Logo Sticker Set adds an artistic touch to anything, and the L'Objet Gecko Magnifying Glass is a beautifully crafted piece that turns a functional object into a statement.

Just something to make the house cozier

Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that simply bring a little warmth and personality to a space. The Magis Archetoys London Bus is a playful yet stylish nod to classic design—perfect for adding a touch of nostalgia to a shelf or desk. The Polspotten Diving Duck Plate is one of those unexpectedly cool decor pieces that sparks conversation while looking effortlessly chic (not on sale, but still worth your attention). And for a bit of whimsy, the Little Lights Mini Dino Lamp is an adorable addition that works just as well in a kid’s room as it does in a cozy reading nook.

Beautiful cups

Ramadan nights often end with deep conversations over a cup of tea or coffee, so why not elevate the experience? The Polspotten Grandpa Glazed Teacups bring a nostalgic yet modern feel, while the Polspotten Espresso Set is perfect for those who love a strong, stylish coffee break. If you want something playful yet elegant, the Bordallo Pinheiro Fantasia Coffee Cups add a whimsical touch to any table.

Cookies, dates, and sweet treats

If you are invited to an Iftar, don’t show up empty-handed. The best gift? Something delicious. Dates, cookies, or sweet treats are always a safe bet. If you want to keep it traditional, Casa Pons offers beautifully curated date baskets (there is a perfect one for every host). Craving something more indulgent? Crème UAE has launched a special Ramadan edition of their signature blue cookie boxes—filled with the most addictive cookies ever. And for those looking for a healthier twist, Keto Kartel in DIFC offers Michelin-quality, guilt-free desserts with a special Ramadan hamper tailored to your taste.
