From a smart writing set for the aspiring storyteller to a barista-grade machine for the coffee connoisseur, we've put together an Eid Al Fitr gift guide aimed at helping the receiver delve deeper into their interests and passions this season.
Moleskine Pen+ Smart Writing Set
The Moleskine Pen+ Smart Writing Set is designed for those who want to take their writing beyond paper, whether journalling, brainstorming ideas or sketching. It is recognisable as a classic Moleskine notebook, but the trick is that it is embedded with Ncoded paper technology and a smart pen that instantly digitises handwritten notes, bridging the gap between scribbling handwritten notes and digitising them for practicality. Perfect for writers, students or professionals, it allows users to organise, edit and share their notes through the Moleskine Notes app. It’s a thoughtful Eid gift for anyone looking to deepen their passion for writing.

Amazon Kindle
It’s hard to believe the first Kindle was released in 2007. About two decades later, the new Kindle offers a compact, lightweight design with an improved display for a clear and comfortable reading experience. It features an adjustable front light and dark mode for readability in any lighting condition, while its 16GB storage allows users to carry thousands of books. With a battery life of up to six weeks on a single charge and access to millions of titles through Kindle Unlimited, it provides a convenient way to read. The range of colours has also been expanded. It’s a great gift for someone who has been meaning to get back to reading.

The Sage Barista Touch
Despite its imposing and professional-looking facade, the Sage Barista Touch is designed to make home coffee-making more intuitive and enjoyable. Its touchscreen guides users through brewing espresso, lattes and cappuccinos, while the built-in grinder and automatic milk frother control grind size and texture. Whether for beginners or experienced coffee enthusiasts, it offers an accessible way to experiment with flavours and techniques. If you know anyone looking to perfect their barista skills – or have cafe-quality coffee at home – this is a good gift.
