Eidi (also spelled Eidiyah) is the cherished tradition of giving gifts — often money — to children and younger family members during Eid, the celebration marking the end of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) and also at Eid al-Adha. It's a joyful part of the festivities that children especially look forward to.
Eidi is typically given by elders — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and older relatives — to children and younger members of the family, as a gesture of love, blessing and celebration. It's usually given as money, though gifts are common too, and it spreads joy and a sense of occasion among the young ones during Eid.
Like many traditions, the customs around Eidi vary across cultures, regions and families, but the warm spirit — sharing joy, love and blessings with children at Eid — is universal. Our free Eid money gift envelopes and gift tags help you give Eidi beautifully. Eid Mubarak!
