Eid Gift Basket Ideas for Him

Eid is around the corner and if you still haven’t prepared an Eid gift basket, don’t worry we are here for you with some amazing yet unique ideas. Eid is the best time to exchange wishes, blessings, Eidis, and of course presents. In Desi culture, Eid gift baskets are shared popularly on two occasions; when you are engaged to be married soon or when you are newly wedded. In either case, buying gifts for men, whether it’s our father, brother, or fiancé, is not always easy due to the limited options. 

Let’s cover some gift ideas that the men in your life will surely appreciate. We also have ideas on how you can upgrade the simplest of gifts.  

Traditional Apparel and Shoes 

This is an absolute no-brainer! What’s an Eid basket for him without the traditional kurta shalwar suit and a pair of Peshawari sandals? To make it even simpler, pick a white kurta shalwar suit, we guarantee you he will love wearing white on Eid. Well, all men do. Pair it with brown Peshawari chappals or sandals. There you go. A simple yet perfect Eid look for him. Also, let’s face it. Your man will look damn in that Pakistani attire.

If you want your man to like some funny stuff, then you can also add gag t-shirts to drift away from the traditional attire. 

Self-Care Kit 

This is the present they really need. A self-care kit can include a range of products from moisturizer, hair gel, face wash, beard oil, beard shampoo, lip balm, exfoliating scrub, or cleanser. Men’s grooming products are made specially to cater to their skin requirements. In fact, to add a personalized touch, you can pick products that specifically address your man’s skin needs. For example, if he has rough skin, select products with aloe vera or pick a tea tree oil-based face wash. If he has a beard, go for beard grooming kits. 

These self-care kits aim at improving the overall mood and hence, act as great gifts, especially for occasions such as Eid.   

We believe that a gender stigma around self-care items should be broken. After all, men should take care of their skin too. 

Spa vouchers 

Taking the idea in the above point forward, boys need pampering too. Men’s salons in the recent decade have evolved and expanded to more premium services other than basic haircuts and beard trimming. Now, salons offer pedicures, manicures, and even facials for men who love to take care of their personal grooming. Your gift basket candidate may not buy such a package for himself, because he feels macho, but there’s always a first. 

If you’re a woman reading this, you know what great pleasure and joy a good spa day brings. The men in our lives need it too. Why not give them a spa voucher so that they can experience a premium grooming session this Eid? After all, they deserve this break amidst the hustle and bustle of life. 

Beard Trimmer 

If you want to make their Eid extra special and gift something lavish, a beard trimmer would be the perfect choice. Beard trimmers are handy, and useful, and would make a great gift. There are so many options for beard trimmers available in the market now. You can choose the one that caters to his needs. Whether he has short stubble or a longer length, beard trimmers come with all kinds of features.  

However, remember a few things while selecting a beard trimmer; the quality, the targeted beard length, the multifunctionality, the battery life, and your budget. 

The Good Old Wristwatch 

There’s nothing like too many watches for men. Whether it’s a leather strap, silicon strap, or a classic chain watch, it is a hot favorite accessory for any and all occasions. This is a gift that you can go simple with, or go extravaganza, depending upon your budget. If you ask me, a leather strap watch goes best with the traditional Eid attire. 

But if he already owns an expensive watch or a smartwatch that he wears all the time, you can find new straps and add them to the Eid basket. 

Leather Goodies  

As cliché as it sounds, leather goodies, especially wallets, are, again, a hot favorite accessory for men. Wallets are one of the accessories that complete the Eid look, especially because of all the Eidis they have to give or collect. Other leather items include card holders, keychains with name tags, baggage tags, diaries, pen holders, and so on. These items can make great gifts for men who have desk jobs. Leather products can effortlessly add class, elegance, and uniqueness to your gift baskets. 

Go ahead and even choose some fancy leather sunglasses case. Or if he has a laptop, then aim to make it more stylish to carry by gifting him a leather laptop bag. 

Munchies!

Yes, men also love a box of chocolates! I mean, who doesn’t? Eid baskets are incomplete without something sweet. Eid is all about sharing good food, especially sweets, to celebrate the end of Ramadan. A box of chocolates, snacks, or your favorite mithai in extrinsic packaging, can elevate your Eid basket look and take it to the next level. Many local shops focus on colorful and festive packaging around Eid. So, you can take your own choice of chocolates or other snacks and get them packed. 

Eid Card

The last item on my list is a heartfelt message on a personalized Eid card. Eid gifts are incomplete without personalized messages passing on love and blessings to loved ones. Such cards are memorable and add an emotional touch to the gift. Make one yourself or buy a simple Eid card with wishes from the heart; I assure you it’ll be the steal of your basket. 

To Wrap it Up

It’s still not too late to make an Eid basket. Move over from simple items and add some funk to it. Remember, Eidi is the gift you give to show your love to a person. Always add a personalized touch to show your love.
