Present for Eid for teenage girl?

[SilverPeacock]

Dds friend has been a really good friend to her recently during an extremely tough time for dd and I want to get her a small gift. This child has turned up to hospital to visit dd on an almost daily basis and brought her presents including an Easter egg even though fasting herself. With Eid coming up I thought we could maybe give her something then. People who know about Islam - is this appropriate and if so what? They are 15.

Anything from a box of chocolates to perfume I guess. What would you get your daughter?

Thank you that’s all I need to know - was just not sure if there was something specific which would be given

New clothes are traditionally given where we’re from so a new T-shirt or top?

I think that's a lovely idea. I'd probably say perfume/body spray. You can't go wrong with Victoria's Secret for teenage girls!

Anything your daughter would like really.

I'm actually going to change my answer given a posters suggestion. Like any religion, people will practice to different levels. I'd spend a bit fo time reflecting on the girl. Does she wear make up? Etc.

I'm not a practicing Muslim at all but there is no way I would ever my Victoria's secret perfume for any teenage girl. Really odd suggestion.

If giving perfume look for an alcohol free one (available online or widely in areas with large Muslim populations) or stick to clothing, chocolate etc. it's not as full as Christmas (thankfully Christmas is ott these days)

Oh and body shop has alcohol free perfume too

Money and clothing are the traditional gifts I've seen with my in-laws but nowadays you can gift anything. Nothing wrong with getting a present if DD knows what she might like. Eid cards are available too.

Hillrunning why are the Victoria secret sprays an odd idea for a teenage girl? I have a 14 year old and she and her friends receive and give these as gifts regularly (and have done for some time now).

I'm a high school teacher 🤣 and 95% + of the girls (in a very multicultural school) adore Victoria's Secret Body sprays! It's teenage girl currency and I don't think it's an inappropriate suggestion!

Hi!!
Practising (but not nearly as much as I could) Muslim here. What a beautiful friendship these girls have.

I think Victoria secret perfume/spray is totally fine but if they are strict then perhaps as PP have said look for non alcohol.

Otherwise maybe a cute bracelet or necklace? We give gifts on Eid that are similar to Xmas or birthdays so it really can just be anything you think they'd like.

Credit to you for being so thoughtful and wishing all the best for your daughter's health

Which is why i suggested the OP reflect on what they do already know about the girl. There is a big difference in what is deemed acceptable for different people (as demonstrated by you and I having opposing views) and if she is already a bit concerned about pitching it right seeing as she doesn't know the family, it makes sense to be cautious. Would be such a shame for a well meaning act to be seen as odd. Teens or their family buying stuff for them is different to a gift from an unknown adult.

Joma bracelets are quite popular in teen DD’s circles (and Victoria’s Secret body sprays are too!).

DF converted to Islam when she met her now husband. It was their eldest DC’s first time fasting a few years ago so we got them all Eid chocolates for afterwards from Etsy.
