Eid al-Adha is just around the corner, and Dubai is brimming with people preparing to celebrate with their loved ones, be it at home or with a sunny escape from the summer heat. While choosing gifts for this wondrous occasion may pose a difficult task for some, we’re here to make your life easier with a universally loved suggestion that lasts a lifetime: Jewellery!
Read on to see what makes gold the ideal gift for Eid, and why the Dubai Gold Souk Extension (GSE) is one of the best international shopping destinations with exquisite pieces at unbeatable prices.
What makes gold one of the most special Eid gift ideas?
Despite the millions of options out there, gold has remained a favorite for gifting. If you’re wondering why, here are just a few of its advantages:
- Gold is gold – its value is universal regardless of where and when it is bought, making it a safe investment that doesn’t lose value over time. Unlike other gifts, gold’s value is eternal and can withstand time.
- Gold has never gone out of fashion!
- If you are traveling for the holidays and need to bring a gift with you – gold is a lightweight and easy-to-carry gift that will take up minimal space in your luggage!
- Wearing gold has wellness benefits, thanks to its soothing and cooling effects, and can contribute to improving one’s psychological state (who wouldn’t feel better after being spoiled with a little gold!!)
If you need more convincing – gold gifts are also beautiful reminders to your recipients of your warm wishes, even if you’re far apart.
