The travel restrictions, lockdown, and preventive measures, social distancing rules will surely make the three days of Eid difficult to stick to. But worry not because we are creative folks and we know exactly what to do.

Get Artsy, Prepare goody bags and send them

On YouTube or Pinterest, learn how to make a goody bag out of the things available at home. This Eid, let the kids do your work, engage them and make your own Eid goody bags. Take a sheet of paper, wrapping paper, or cloth, a ribbon, glue & scissors, fold and create a box. This is an excellent way to add even more thought to your Eid gift. Pinterest has everything.

Call everyone instead of messaging

Every year after Eid prayers, you greet Eid by texting all your friends, family members, relatives, colleagues and acquaintances blowing up their phones while this year make a little change, call each one of them. Make them feel special because this year had been really difficult due to Covid19.

Cupcakes and Chocolate Bombs-Go Cooking
