Islamic prayer mat

[Bumbleconfusus]

I know this is not the best place to put this, but was hoping more people would see it here to help me, does anyone know of a good shop (preferably online as I live in Scotland) where I can buy a good quality prayer mat for DH (without a compass) as a present? The shops round here aren't great and I'd like to get him something really good quality (his current one is a bit thread bare).

Thank you, this is really helpful. Is there a difference between male nad female ones as we previously went into a shop and DH saw one he liked, but it was in a set with a shawl and the shop assistant said that it was a womens set. Was it just the shawl that made it a womens set or can some designs be seen as feminime (sp?) ?

Havent ordered a prayer mat online before and don't know about the quality. Also am a bit wary cos it says colours and designs may vary, but this one looks nice.

I don't think it matters too much about the design, wont be too feminine anyway, unless its a pink one. Mine is dusky pink, love it cos its a soft one!

I've bought one of these before www.theislamicestablishment.com/1-3389-20-luxury-supreme-prayer-mats.aspx

and it is nice - they are quite helpful on the phone so if you called them you could choose a colour you liked.

There is no difference between male and female - as a family we don't have our 'own' ones so much and and just grab one off the pile when its time to pray :)

I went with the most expensive one Islamdirect sold in the end (£12) so I'm hoping that means good quality. I picked one with pretty gold leaves on it but in a dark colour - well I hope he likes it, otherwise I will use the other sites you have mentioned. Thank you all very much for being so helpful!
