Not only is Ramadan a spiritual journey that entails sharing and giving, but it's the month we wait for all year long to celebrate happiness and spoil our loved ones a little more than usual. And what better way to show them we care but with gifts that can speak louder than words. What women want, is still a mystery, but we have designed a journey for you that has something for everyone this season. Ramadan and Eid are the most popularly celebrated events in Saudi Arabia, where women indulge excessively in shopping for gifts with a bit of gold, diamonds (or both) and exclusive one-off pieces for the special ones. But it's not all glitz and glam this time around. Young designers have found an unexplored indie territory that has helped create unique Ramadan inspired pieces including jewelry, furniture, home accessories and even reinvented your standard macaroon. Most of them will be available at Bisat Al Reeh, the biggest exhibition in the country that hosts fashion, design, jewelry, entertainment, luxury lifestyle brands and the food and beverage sector. Ramadan Treasures Moja Majka has crafted beautiful Kabah charm bracelets in somber yet exciting colors tying the bond of love we share for this month. The new concept is easily a favorite and not just to gift but to treasure. They can be found at The Store in Jeddah along with Yataghan jewelry offering gorgeous black diamond necklaces and earrings with other fine jewelry selections. Charmaleena's “wear one share one” trend is for those who prefer nothing less than premium luxury. Using 18K gold, diamonds and semi-precious stones, the founders have created new categories including 'key to my heart', poem necklaces and even their swords collection which is inspired by the Sword sculpture by Jeddah's Open Air Museum. Buy your kids super cute prayer mats and beautiful copies of the Qur'an, the best gift they can ever get, designed by Cocoon Youth. Rewarding Accessories Rana Salam succeeds in designing a cultural feast for your household with Arab graphics and bright colored cushions and other home accessories. Faten collections also offer home accessories with a Ramadan theme featured recently at Tashkeil's bazaar along with Masha Designs who created a subha (prayer beads) with words curved into a golden moon shaped accessory.

Orange Blossom has crafted the best gift for pilgrims with their all 'white bloom' abaya perfect for Umrah. Prior to launching the abaya in all white, the founders told Saudi Gazette, they wanted to design something exclusively for pilgrims coming to Saudi Arabia during the holy month and said that creating an elegant, sophisticated yet simple approach to an abaya reflects in our appearance that is extremely important for the way we show up to haramain (in Makkah and Madinah). Amina Atelier's new collection also stands ready for Ramadan at the Homegrown selection. Nasiba Hafiz has a new take on thobes keeping it simple yet electric; Lum (by Lama Taher) flows into exotic and bright colored thobes for the festive spirit while Ta Marbota caters sophisticated elegance to its new collections making them a must-have accessory.
