imageFor every Muslim around the world, Eid is one of the most enjoyable days of the year. Getting up too early, offer Fajr prayers, have special Eid delicacies, Henna, give Eid greetings and wish your whole family members, maybe go out to meet friends/relatives and eat, eat, eat. People eagerly wait for this day to celebrate Eid with the loved ones.

This year for a change, why not try some different and plan something special for everyone? Here are few ideas to make this Eid special.

Look for those who are alone and invite them

Where Eid is just around the corner and everyone is busy shopping and preparing for the grand celebration, don’t forget those who are homeless and alone. After offering Eid prayers, look for those who are alone this Eid and invite them for a meal to give them a slight feeling of Eid.

Make customized gifts for each other

Arts and crafts are the best tool for making these gifts. They are personal, cheap and save useless trips to the shopping center. They are also more precious and memorable for the receiver.

Make special food

After long month of fasting, Eid is all about eating. Prepare special menu for friends and family. Eid-ul-Fitr is known for sweet temptations; prepare traditional sweets to delight your loved ones.

Go for a picnic/movie

Drive the family out into the countryside and try to get lost on some unfamiliar roads. Go for a movie with friends/family to make most of your Eid holidays.

Visit needy people and donate

While you collect your eidi from your family and friends, try to donate certain amount to people who are in need and who cannot afford to celebrate Eid with these luxuries.
