Planning ahead for Eid shopping can save you time, money, and stress. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you prepare efficiently:
1. Budget Planning
✅ Set a budget – Decide how much you want to spend on clothes, gifts, food, and decorations.
✅ Make a list – Categorize your expenses:
- Clothes & Accessories
- Shoes
- Gifts for family & friends
- Home decor & Eid essentials
- Food & groceries
2. Clothing & Accessories
🛍️ Shop Early – Eid shopping rush peaks in the last 10 days of Ramadan, so buy your outfits early to avoid price hikes and stock shortages.
🛍️ Look for Sales – Many brands offer Ramadan & Eid sales (both online & in stores). Check websites like Gul Ahmed, Khaadi, J., Sapphire, and Alkaram.
🛍️ Stitching Orders – If you’re getting clothes stitched, place your order at least 3–4 weeks before Eid.
3. Gifts & Eidi Preparation
🎁 Buy gifts in bulk – Perfumes, clothes, toys, and accessories are great options.
🎁 Prepare Eidi – Get new currency notes from banks (State Bank usually announces Eidi note distribution).
🎁 Consider Personalized Gifts – Custom items like mugs, keychains, and name-engraved jewelry are popular.
4. Food & Grocery Shopping
🍽️ Stock Up on Groceries – Buy essentials like flour, sugar, cooking oil, and spices early to avoid price surges.
🍽️ Plan Your Eid Menu – Think about traditional dishes (Sheer Khurma, Biryani, Kebabs, etc.) and get ingredients in advance.
🍽️ Bakery Orders – If ordering cakes or desserts, book in advance.
5. Home Decor & Essentials
🏡 Clean & Decorate – Get lights, Eid banners, and table settings ready.
🏡 Buy Prayer Mats & Attars – If gifting religious items, get them early.
6. Online Shopping & Delivery

📦 Check Delivery Dates – Ensure your orders arrive before Eid.
7. Mehndi & Salon Appointments
