Gift for Muslim Family (lemmy.world)

We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning.

I wanted to return the favor with a nice card from us and a gift. I don’t know how strict they are with Halal, and I read that Halal-friendly might not be good enough so I’m weary of a gift card to a restaurant even if it says Halal.

So what kind of gift(s) would be appropriate for a thank you? I appreciate any help you all can provide!

Thank you very much for this! I was also reading that a fruit platter and/or chocolates are good too?

If that is true, is there any kind of chocolate that is off limits? I know alcohol and marshmallow is no good, but anything else?

I want to make sure there’s something for their kids too.

Honestly it’s pretty thought to make the food super neutral and still really good. You can follow all religious restrictions and still have trouble with what they actually like haha.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Totally. Hahaha

It's pretty much avoid alcohol, gummies, marshmallow

Anything else should be ok.

Thanks for being so kind
