How early should I order an Eid gift?

Add the listing's production days to the delivery time the seller quotes, then leave extra margin. Made-to-order work cannot be compressed.

Can I send a gift to someone else's address?

Yes, you enter the delivery address at checkout. Because payment is cash on delivery, agree in advance who pays the courier.

Is gift wrapping available?

Only if the maker offers it and describes it on the listing. Checkout does not collect wrapping instructions.

Handmade Eid gifts: planning, lead times, and ideas

Handmade gifts land differently at Eid because someone made the object rather than picked it off a shelf. The one thing that trips people up is timing.

Working backwards from Eid

Take the production days shown on the listing, add the delivery time the seller quotes, and leave slack. Demand rises close to Eid and a made-to-order item cannot be rushed without cost to the work.

If you are ordering for someone else's address, remember that cash on delivery means the recipient pays on arrival unless you arrange otherwise.

Ideas that suit the occasion

Tableware and serving pieces for family gatherings, textiles and shawls for elders, jewellery or leather goods for a personal gift, and decor pieces for a new home.

Browse the live categories to see what makers currently have listed rather than relying on a fixed list.

Payment and confirmation

Delivery is never bundled into the product price. After you place the order the seller quotes a delivery fee, you review subtotal plus fee as the total, and you accept it before the seller can confirm.

Orders are cash on delivery. Payment is recorded separately by an authorised operator after the cash is actually collected, so a delivered order is not automatically a paid order.
