The average Raya hamper would be lovely (who could resist those little treats anyway?), but if you’re set on leaving an impression, you’ve got to step a little outside the box to make it a memorable gift. For our Raya 2025 gift roundup, we’re determined to only include items that will be not only appreciated, but definitely sought after.
You’ll find a variety of options below, and there’s bound to be a treat for a loved one, whether they’re an everything shower-taker, an unstoppable candle collector, or just someone who is looking forward to be reacquainted with caffeine. Obviously we’ve included several seasonal delights in here—after all, Ramadan would have been done and dusted then, and with multiple open houses to host, it wouldn’t hurt to have light snacks at home, ready to go.
Mandarin Oriental’s Silaturahim Hamper
Of course we begin with a show-stopping option. Perfect for the person who makes Raya their personality, this hamper from Mandarin Oriental features an assortment of ten items in total, from sweet treats to spicy sides. But if this complete curation isn’t up your alley, you can shop for individual delicacies listed here and make your own selection.

Lush Salam Shower Gel
Raya always comes with an incredibly dense social calendar. Between the many outings to visit family and catch ups with friends, it could feel like there’s very little time for self-care. And sometimes, the shower could be the only place where one can find some calm, so why not gift an uplifting shower gel to really add a pep to their step. This limited edition is laced with scents of blackcurrant, raspberries, and grapes—and who doesn’t want to smell like a total snack?

Nespresso’s Vertuo Candy Pink Gift Set
If a caffeine-addict in your circle survived the fasting month unscathed, they more than deserve this congratulatory set. Welcome them back to the coffee sipping gang with this chic gift set that comes with this dishwasher-safe travel mug that keeps drinks hot for three hours, and cold for five. The two flavours that come with this set are the old reliable Colombia and the season’s limited edition White Chocolate & Strawberry, and they are absolutely delish.

Snackfood’s Greeting Card
Sending cards give you the opportunity to comb through your memory and remember meaningful moments shared with friends and family. A seasonal greeting over text just won’t hit as hard. This year, why not express yourself by sending cards to your loved ones? Extra points if you can include a sketch or clip photos to the card. Double points if you’re actually using snail mail!

White Barn Eucalyptus Rain 3-Wick Candle
Open houses are practically guaranteed to be riddled with wafting smells of aromatics from the decadent Raya cuisine, sometimes sulphuric hints from firecrackers, and occasionally with the medley of fragrances that the guests would wear. Put them all together and that’s one overwhelming experience. The perfect answer to that is to light a crisp and clean candle, and there could be none better than this one. Thank us later.

RR by Rizman Ruzaini x BloomThis Floral Arrangement
Who doesn’t love a good bouquet? No one. And nothing says ‘Raya’ more than an arrangement pieced together in collaboration with RR by Rizman Ruzaini, a local couturier that reigns supreme during the festive season. Here we have a bouquet that stars pink hydrangeas, hot cherry pink roses, purple orchids, and green chrysanthemum ping pongs. Those bursts of colours would bring just the right amount of pop in the home, and would make for the perfect decor in the backdrop of any Raya photos.
