When giving gifts for Eid al-Fitr in Saudi, both traditional customs and modern consumption trends should be taken into account. The best-selling categories on Middle Eastern e-commerce platforms focus on five core directions, while smart tech products are rising rapidly and becoming a new choice for young people. As core Eid al-Fitr gifts, halal food gift boxes see the strongest demand—family-sized gift boxes with Halal certification containing dates, Maamoul date pastries, nut assortments and other products reach peak demand around Eid al-Fitr, with custom versions commanding a significant premium.
Oud fragrance products rank among the top 3 best-selling categories on e-commerce platforms, and high-end gift sets of perfumes, essential oils, agarwood and other items can have a unit price of over 300 US dollars. Traditional clothing is also popular: women's embroidered abayas and men's trimmed thobes that integrate trendy elements boast a profit margin of over 50%. In the religious supplies section, innovative products such as smart prayer mats have become bestsellers.
On e-commerce platforms, children's Eidi gifts, LED Ramadan lanterns, gold-rimmed tableware and other party supplies see a skyrocketing sales volume, while the sales of tech products like smart watches and portable power banks register a remarkable year-on-year growth. Platforms such as Noon and Amazon Middle East have launched special Eid al-Fitr sections, providing same-day delivery services, and adopt strategies like combined sets and night flash sales to boost average order value and conversion rates.
Gift-giving in Saudi must follow local etiquette: pork, alcohol and other items are forbidden as gifts, and packaging with even or auspicious numbers is preferred. In 2026, high-end custom products, sustainable products and experiential gifts will become new trends for e-commerce selection. Cross-border e-commerce sellers need to stock up in overseas warehouses in advance and strictly comply with Halal certification standards.
