Ramadan means connecting with family and friends, and reaching out to show appreciation to those you care about. It is also a time to offer gifts to loved ones, as small tokens of affection.

Whether you are looking for ideas for bibliophiles or homebodies, we have searched for suggestions that are interesting, intriguing and ideal for a range of budgets.

For those drawn to the fascinating history of the UAE, why not give a book about Sheikh Zayed, the Founding Father? Published by Assouline, this is a beautifully presented limited-edition tome that will be cherished for generations.

Night owls, meanwhile, will enjoy a portable Bluetooth speaker by JBL, for listening to gentle music.

Beauty buffs will enjoy a gift box from Huda Beauty that counts down the final 10 days to Eid, with products to nourish the skin and even fragrance to spritz. Ounass, meanwhile, offers the Green Cedar perfume by Abel Odor, that is fresh yet woody.
