Gift selection, however, is not always easy. These suggestions may help you spread joy and celebrate the spirit of generosity on this day of celebration.
Heritage Sweets
If you are looking for something sweet, Heritage Sweets offers a royal experience. Part of Bashundhara Group’s ICCB (International Convention City Bashundhara), the eatery draws inspiration from the Mughal tradition of exquisite desserts and royal celebrations.
Heritage Sweets offers a curated selection of classics such as Adi Rasgolla, Kamalabhog, Delhi Chamcham, Bhogsagar, Gulab-Jamun and Chanar Jalebi, all prepared with time-honoured recipes. 



Pastryarchy
For those who believe that the best gift is one that melts in the mouth, Pastryarchy has been setting the gold standard for dessert gifting in the capital. Their mini tart boxes, choux boxes and cookie boxes have become something of a seasonal institution. 
This Ramadan, they’ve expanded the lineup with an Assorted Ramadan Éclair Gift Box, a Mini Macaron Box ideal for personal gifting and an Assorted Ramadan Confectionery Box built for generous dawat spreads. If you’ve ever scrambled for a last-minute office gift, you can purchase their corporate gift box.




Kavazo
If your loved ones lean toward something more traditional with a touch of luxury, Kavazo’s Ramadan date boxes are the kind of gift that feels like a sentiment wrapped in ribbon. Their collections Ammaan, Noura, Saud, Yaara just to name a few are more than just gift boxes. Each one carries a meaning. Ammaan speaks the language of giving, Noura promises a spark of inspiration, Saud meaning blessed, are reminder that sweetness is greater when shared while Yaara evokes warmth and togetherness.
Inside each, you’ll find premium dipped Medjool dates in flavours like Dark Chocolate, Strawberry Cream Cheese, Candied Orange, Coconut Cream, Pistachio, Coffee and Biscoff . 
Some boxes also include Honey Nut Bars, Dark Chocolate Thins and Oats & Dates Bars. They’re the kind of thing you set out on the table and watch it disappear within minutes.
