Is a letter a good gift?

It works best when the point of the gift is the relationship rather than the object - a milestone birthday, an anniversary, an apology, someone far away, or a person who already owns everything. A letter is the one common gift that cannot have been given to anyone else, because it is made entirely of specifics only the sender has, and it is the kind of thing people keep for years in a drawer. It is a poor choice if the person has asked for something specific, or if you barely know them.

To family

Eid isn't the same without you all at the table - your laughter, the chaos, Ammi's sewaiyaan. But you're in every dua I make today. Eid Mubarak. May this year be gentle and full for all of us. Missing you more than words fit on paper.

To a friend

Another Eid, another reminder of how lucky I am to have you. Thank you for the years of being family by choice. Eid Mubarak - may your home be full of love, light and far too much food.
