    Your luxe Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr 2025 gift guide

    With small gestures going a long way, gifting during Ramadan and Eid is the best way to show your appreciation for all your loved ones.
    From sophisticated fragrances to ornate jewellery pieces, this gifting edit features an expansive selection of products that will be perfect during Iftar time as people gather at one of the family members’ houses and break their fasts together.

    For a refined iftar, consider a curated caviar and saffron-infused honey hamper, served alongside hand-painted porcelain tea sets. Whether gifting a timeless treasure or an indulgent experience, each gesture embodies the spirit of Ramadan—wrapped in luxury and delivered with love.
    When is Eid al-Fitr in 2025?
    Eid ul-Fitr is expected to take place on Sunday 30th March 2025 or Monday 31st March 2025, depending on the sighting of the moon.
    Unlike the Gregorian calendar we use today, the Islamic calendar operates on the lunar cycle. This means that all significant days in the Islamic calendar appear to shift forward approximately 11 days each year. Therefore, the sighting of the moon determines the end of the month-long period of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid.
    As with each day in the Islamic calendar, the next day begins after Maghrib prayer (just after sunset) of the same day. Eid begins after the moon has been sighted. Therefore, the last day of fasting ends at Maghrib.
    Ramadan is a time of reflection, gratitude, and generosity, making the art of gifting a cherished tradition. Elevate the season with exquisite presents that blend heritage with modern elegance—bespoke leather-bound Qurans with gold-embossed calligraphy, handwoven silk prayer mats, and artisanal oud-infused tasbeehs. Indulge loved ones with gourmet date assortments drizzled in 24K gold, limited-edition attars from the world’s finest perfumers, and crystal-clad lanterns that cast a warm, celestial glow.
    Add this edit to your bookmarks as we’ll add more hero buys for gift inspiration to treat your loved ones or yourself this Ramadan and Eid.

      The HOKA Gift Guide Every Runner Will Thank You For

      by

      PB your gift-giving this festive season and spoil the runner in your life with a pair of new HOKA shoes.

      HIGH MILEAGE WORKHORSE

      HOKA Bondi 8

      One of the hardest working shoes in the HOKA lineup. The Bondi takes a bold step forward this season, reworked with softer, lighter foams and a brand-new extended heel geometry. Taking on a billowed effect, the rear crash pad affords an incredibly soft and balanced ride from heel strike to forefoot transition.

      EVERYDAY KILOMETRES, ELEVATED

      HOKA Skyflow

      Designed to elevate your daily running practice, the Skyflow combines premium Skyward X-inspired geometry with upgraded foam compounds, taking everyday miles to the next level. Super-critically foamed EVA offers an extra cushy, springy ride, while a supportive heel-focused Active Foot Frame™ cradles the foot and a smooth forefoot rocker profile encourages effortless strides. Constructed with a sleek upper and extra durable outsole, this shoe redefines the idea of “daily driver.”

      LIGHT AND PLUSH FOR EVERYDAY MILES

      HOKA Clifton 9

      The ninth iteration of our award-winning Clifton franchise has launched, lighter and more cushioned than ever before. Eliminating weight while adding 3mm in stack height, the new Clifton 9 delivers a revitalized underfoot experience with a responsive new foam and improved outsole design. Removing overlays and hotmelts, the stripped back upper has been consciously crafted with a plusher heel, reflective heel panel, and streamlined tongue with single side medial gusset.

      A SURPRISINGLY SLEEK STABILITY SHOE.

      HOKA Arahi 7

      Not your average stability shoe, the new Arahi 7 delivers the same streamlined support as its predecessor with our patented J-Frame™ technology. Updated with a zonally engineered, flat knit upper for improved midfoot lockdown, we’ve fine-tuned the fit with a plusher tongue, and a stretchy dual gusset beneath the lace line to help mitigate tongue migration.

      YOUR GATEWAY TO EVERYDAY SPEED

      HOKA Mach 6

      Behold our lightest, most responsive Mach to date. This lively trainer has been fine-tuned for extra energy return with a super critical foam midsole and updated for enhanced durability with strategic rubber coverage in the outsole. Implementing speed focused design details throughout, we’ve enlisted a new creel jacquard upper with zonal breathability and an internal gusset to deliver the foot-hugging comfort required to set your next PR.
