Don’t forget your Muslim staff – it’s almost Eid!

With the big focus on Christmas and arranging Christmas gifts for staff, many companies can easily forget that other faiths have important holidays at this time of year too. Eid Al-Fitr or Eid Ul Fitr, an important celebration for Muslims that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, falls on October 1st this year. Eid Al-Adha or Eid Ul Adha, another important feast, falls before Christmas on December 8th this year. Rather than send a potentially inappropriate Christmas hamper, why not send an Eid hamper? Bear in mind that sending a vegetarian hamper without a bottle of alcohol isn’t always enough. Many traditional hamper products may have small amount of alchohol in their ingredients (think of rum truffles, or brandy in a Christmas pudding), which is not acceptable to observant Muslims. Our Eid gift hampers are vegetarian, strictly non-alcoholic (we’ve really checked out the ingredients) and contain wonderful traditional foods such as mithai (Indian / Pakistani sweets) and stuffed figs and dates that will delight any Muslim this Eid. We’re also happy to create customised hampers to meet Islamic dietary requirements, just give us a call on 0845 226 9182 and we’ll be happy to help. Wishing you an Eid Mubarak!
