Occasions

Every season has its own gifting rhythm

What to give, when to order and what lands — for the five moments Dubai actually gifts around. Dates follow the Islamic calendar where relevant; see the gifting calendar for the full year.

Ramadan & Eid

Ramadan: approx. 8 Feb – 9 Mar 2027 · Eid al-Fitr: approx. 10 Mar 2027

The gifting season of the year in the Gulf. Date tins, saffron, sidr honey and the twelve-compartment festive box carry the most weight — and the weeks before Ramadan begin are when corporate orders need to be confirmed.

Diwali

Diwali: approx. 8 Nov 2026

Dubai’s Festival of Lights is one of the sweetest weeks of the year for gifting. Think pistachio and rose, brittle and halawa — bright, shareable and beautifully boxed.

Christmas & the holidays

December 2026

Between office parties and family tables, December rewards the prepared. Olive oil, truffle honey and chocolate cases make effortless host gifts, and the grand box does the whole thing in one go.

UAE National Day

2 December (Commemoration Day 1 December)

National Day gifting is quietly enormous across UAE offices. Camel-milk chocolate, karak concentrate and date boxes nod to the country’s own flavours — pride without gimmicks.

Everyday gifting

Year-round

Thank-yous, hosts, new neighbours, get-well-soon, “welcome to Dubai”, or Tuesday. A small, excellent gift with a handwritten line outperforms a big generic one — and we built the petite box for exactly this.
