In the past, people remembered birthdays because they cared. Anniversaries were not public countdowns. Eid gifts were hand-delivered, with genuine prayers, not emoji hearts in DMs. Now? The art of gifting feels like a chore on a to-do list. Swipe, tap, order… and yet, something is missing.
You have been there. Scrolling through your phone at midnight, knowing your cousin’s housewarming is tomorrow. Zero clue what to get. Dubai’s malls close in two hours. You contemplate showing up empty-handed or with a “last one on the shelf” candle no one wants.
This is not just about buying a thing. It is about what it says about you. That you thought, that you cared, that you got them. And that is where the things get in your favor to make an impact. Expressing your feelings or urging someone to feel for you.
When Gifting Was a Language, Not a Transaction
There was a time — not too long ago — when a gift wasn’t something you picked off a shelf. It was something you made. People poured themselves into what they gave. Mothers would stitch handkerchiefs with delicate embroidery. Kids would spend afternoons crafting cards with scraps of colored paper, their shaky handwriting clumsily quoting a line of old Bedouin poetry or a proverb their grandmother used to say.
“اللهم اجعل دربك خضر”
(May your path always be green)
— scribbled inside a folded note for a friend moving to Abu Dhabi.
Or maybe:
“من غاب عن العين ما يغيب عن القلب”
(Out of sight, but never out of heart)
— tucked inside a handmade Eid card, the ink smudged but the feeling loud.
It was not about how much it cost; it was about what it carried: feelings, memories, and time. A little part of you, folded neatly into something the other person could hold.
Even receiving a gift felt different. You did not just tear off a wrapper and move on. You sat down. Opened it slowly. Smiled at the unevenly cut paper. Read the words twice. Kept it somewhere safe, not because it was expensive but because it mattered.
In Emirati weddings, people would wrap their gifts in soft fabrics with sprigs of oud, bukhoor, or tiny bottles of Dehn l Oud, leaving behind a scent you’d remember long after the gift itself was gone. Eid mornings were not about online parcels at your doorstep, they were about handwritten notes tied with ribbons and Eidiya tucked into crisp white envelopes.
Gifting seemed not an obligation. It was a love language.
And somewhere along the way, we lost that.
Why Gifting Feels Broken in 2025
Let us call it out. Personalized gifting died when everyone started getting the same perfumes and gift cards.
Then vs Now:
| Back Then | Right Now |
| Thoughtful, handpicked souvenirs | Copy-paste gifts ordered on apps |
| Family gossip about the ‘best’ gift | Forgettable parcels on doorsteps |
| Late-night card writing | Auto-generated notes |
People stopped chasing meaning because time is short and options feel overwhelming.

What Makes a Gift Perfect? (Hint: It’s Not the Price Tag)
Forget the overpriced watch. A perfect gift for any event is when it:
