I love to feed people. Whether it’s something I make myself or it’s a store-bought gift, I consider the tastes and lifestyle of the recipient. To celebrate Eid bringing a food gift is my favorite gift to give. The best part of food gifts is that they can be enjoyed and then they’re gone – because who needs more stuff in their lives?
Whether you make your Eid food gift or you buy a special treat for the people in your life, it’s sure to be appreciated and if you’re looking for some non-food Eid gift ideas I’ve got loads of suggestions for this too.
There are always plenty of sweets at Eid, so If I’m taking food as a gift, I try to even that out with some protein-rich snacks.
Eid Food Gift Ideas Your Hosts will Appreciate
Fresh Baked Gifts
There are always plenty of sweets at Eid, so If I’m taking food as a gift, I try to even that out with some protein-rich snacks.

Best Keto Sausage Balls Recipe - How to Make Keto Sausage Balls
Sausage Puffs are a delish and pleasantly surprising finger food. (This recipe is also gluten-free) - Simply swap in your favorite veggie or halal sausage.
Gifts Bought from the Heart
There’s no shame in not cooking. These are some great food items to buy and give or ship as Eid gifts. My strategy here is to go a bit extra, gift something people don’t regularly buy for themselves. That would be like giving socks for Eid, just don’t.
FreshJax Gourmet Salty Gift Set, Seasoned Salt Sampler (Salty 10 Spice Gift Set)

Drinks and Mixes for Eid Gifting
Gourmet Hot Cocoa with halal marshmallows is a perfect gift for families.

Most homes have a favorite tea already embedded in them, which is why it’s always nice to introduce people to new flavors. This variety pack is a nice option to add some new tastes.
Vadham has collected 12 of their award-winning tea blends and packed them into lovely tins for this gift set. They also do great charitable work.
Yogi teas are also flavorful and the stress relief collection is a nice choice.
Pukka Teas are already many people’s favorite, and there are likely a few new flavors for everyone to try in the Pukka gift sets.
