Eid Gifts: Ideas for Gifts That can be Mailed!

This year Eid will be different than any we have celebrated over the years. With most of us practicing social distancing we will not be able to visit the mosque for Eid prayers, have family over for brunch or go visit our friends. I have an idea though to bring back an old tradition to face these new times. Include your family and friends in your Eid celebrations this year by mailing them simple Eid gifts.

These Eid gifts do not need to be expensive or elaborate. You also have to cater to the size and weight you can send by post.

Keeping postal limitations in mind, here are some ideas:

Pop-up Eid Cards

Take your Eid cards up a notch by making 3D pop-up cards. They are super fun. We have the full tutorial on the blog here.

Envelopes

The first thing your receiver will hold in their hands is the envelope. Oh, the excitement of receiving an envelope in the mail with your name on it, that’s not a bill (adult life issues)!

You can decorate envelopes with the “Eid Mubarik” washi tapes available from Happy Street.

Krafts Designs has Eid themed envelopes and stickers.

You can also get the lovely Eid envelope printables from Big Ideas Graphics.

Love the Eid stamps by Canada Post that will give your envelope more Eid feels!

Henna Tattoos

Henna Tattoos Eid Gifts

Found these lovely Henna tattoos on amazon that came out brilliantly on the skin.

You can add a sheet with your card because they can be mailed easily.

Here is the amazon link to buy them:

Boys and little kids don’t have to be left out. Found these fun tattoos by Melissa and Doug on amazon:

Eid Stationery

We love the pencils available at Happy Street. They have themes for Eid and for little Muslims such as “Rabbe Zidne Ilma”, “Start with Bismillah”, “Super Muslims” etc.

Happy Street also has the most adorable Eid erasers. Wrap these up with ribbon (our Eid theme one is by Happy Street) or on an Eid gift tag (we got ours from Big Ideas Graphics).

These can be easily added in a mail envelope.

Gift Cards

Gift cards as “Eidi” can also be added in the mail.

I printed a customized one with our family picture from Tim Hortons. Amazon also has gift cards of various values and an option to print customized ones.
