How to Create an Eid Gift Basket For New Parents

Eid Al-Adha is the time for reflection, gratitude, and connection. It marks the Hajj pilgrimage, connecting with family and friends, and gift-giving. Traditional Eid gifts often include, money for children, baskets with an assortment of dates, flowers and personalized gifts such as onesies, toys and books.  However, for a special, extra touch, handmade gifts—such as a crocheted baby bottle cover for a new baby or a heartfelt greeting card can easily be added to make your Eid gift basket for new parents even more meaningful.
