5 EID GIFT IDEAS THAT WON’T BLOW YOUR BUDGET

Let us remind you all that Barri Eid is just around the corner. We weren’t even done counting the calories from meethi Eid and before we knew it, the prospect of devouring all those barbeques and chaamps has got us dreaming again! Oh well, let’s focus on the important matters at hand and forget about our calorie counting for a bit shall we? Eid is all about family and festivity. The holiday season can be a tough time for the cash strapped millennial who has a long list of gifts to buy. (Hint: the new Kylie Jenner lip kits) We know times are tough, money is tight and Eid is fast approaching. We also know you’d rather not spend your travel fund solely on buying Eid presents for people and no one likes being the Grinch when it comes to giving gifts. Your budget might be tighter than the skin of a forty year old aunty with Botox but hey, you can at least afford to spend time and effort on buying a gift for a loved one. This refreshingly easy to follow Generation’s instruction manual will tell you how to buy the perfect Eid gift on a budget without maxing out you (or your daddy’s) credit card and make everyone’s heart melt like warm butter.

FOR YOUR MUMS, GRANDMUMS AND AUNTS

What’s even better than the eye catching pattern, is the fact that the shirt is paired with a checked dupatta. Currently at a sale price of PKR 1999 only, this is definitely a STEAL! Gift it to ammas, khalas or even your grandparents to instantly become the favourite suljhee huey beti this Barri Eid. Shop in stores.
