[jampot]

I have bought Eid cards from www.simplyislam.co.uk this year and they were well priced and arrived quickly. Maybe this is of use?

Are new clothes traditional for Eid? I think I read this somewhere. Obviously an outfit would be ott, but a scarf?

oh for goodness sake.
eid is a celebration. and any present is a celebration.
what wrong with all the consumerable available in all the shops pre christmas?
books, toys, makeup, clothes, shoes. think christmas lists.
they are just kids. get them what kids want.

Jampot I don't think you can go wrong with a gift, I'm sure the lucky recipient will love whatever your dd gives him/her.
What did she have in mind??

stitch - sorry if I offended you by asking for appropriate advice. DD bought her friend a lovely scarf from Mango which she was really pleased with.

By the way I am RC and did you know that the christmas following a family death some RC families do not send or receive Xmas cards - just a little snippet in case you know an RC family and would like a little inside information!

jampot, sorry if i offended you. was a sick of my kids driving me mad, and b tired of all the political correctness i see around me.
sometimes i just think it goes too far...
but thank youfor that info, ididnt know that.
wish someone would buy me a scarf from mango....

I don't think it's "politically correct" (used in the rather derogatory way) to ask for advice like this, it's sensitive and caring.

I am a Christian, and once seriously offended another Christian by giving her mug with a horoscope on for a birthday present. I didn't realise that some Christians frown on something that I would consider a "bit of harmless fun". How much more offended would someone of another faith be if I made such a mistake?
