Why wait until Eid to give loved ones presents? For me, part of celebrating Ramadan comes with showing love and appreciation to my children, especially with a little gift-giving. I like to find things that will keep them entertained at different moments during the month. But I also prefer to give them beautiful, relevant gifts. With kids that range from 2 years old to 17 years old, I’ve got ideas for all ages!
If you’re looking for more traditional Ramadan gifts, you probably won’t find them here. These gifts are fun and interesting ideas that go beyond the normal suggestions.
Here are my 20 best Ramadan gift ideas for kids of all ages.
Ramadan Countdown Calendar
A countdown until Eid is a great way to start Ramadan and also keeps you from being asked “When is Eid” roughly 29 times. Iftar Treat Box Shop has two pretty variations, both with chocolates and halal treats behind each door.

Halal Sweets Cones
These pre-filled cones are nice to have on hand for visiting children. This Ramadan present is affordable and easy to buy or create in large quantities if you have many children to give gifts to.
Light Their World – LED Lantern
Lanterns are a traditional Ramadan decoration, likely going back to pre-electric days and having to illuminate the dinner table. This lunar-themed ceramic lantern embraces modernity with solar charging. And it’s so cute.
Sadaqah Charity Jar
“Sadaqah can take me to Jannah, insha Allah” is printed on one side of this money saver and the child’s name is on the other. An adorable way to encourage children to be generous during the holy month and beyond.
Suhoor Attire
Comfy new jammies are a pleasure to wear while stumbling to the early morning breakfast table.
Cool rainbows for her or tie-dye for him.
Actually, jammies may be more for you since you’ll be looking at them. For those early mornings wrap the kids up in one of these fleece robes too!
Finish it off with fuzzy slippers that are sturdy enough to wear outside.
Craft Kits
You need craft kits for the kids for Ramadan. Maybe pull them out during well-timed moments of exhaustion and/or loss of patience. These sets are doubly great as the kids can make Eid gifts with them. Make sure they do one for you too.
