This year, Eid-al-Fitr 2023 is expected to land on April 21, commemorating the end of a long month of fasting for Ramadan. Both Eid and Ramadan follow the lunar calendar and are based on the moon sighting, so dates vary every year. Though Ramadan is a time of restricting oneself from food and drink, it's spiritually fulfilling and is all the more merry when Eid finally arrives.

The morning of Eid, worshippers head to their local mosque to pray. Afterward, the holiday is celebrated with friends and family over intimate gatherings at home and lots of food and delectable sweets, including sheer khurma (vermicelli pudding), dates, cookies, chai and more. There is a sense of happiness and celebration in the air at having completed another Ramadan.

It's also a time of giving gifts, especially to kids, as a sign of generosity and an expression of love, ideals that are encouraged in Islam. Traditionally, parents and older members of the family give kids money in an envelope as an Eidi (an Eid gift also known as Salami) but if you want to gift something more substantial, you'll have to get creative.

Giving the kids in your life a thoughtful Eid gift will make the holiday more memorable for them. Whether you want to give them good Eid memories or start a fun tradition to get them excited about Eid-al-Fitr and the end of Ramadan, we've rounded up some great Eid gift ideas for kids. From arts and crafts to personalized Eid chocolate bars, there's a gift here every kind of kid will enjoy.
