Treat yours this Eid…

Eid is almost upon us, and that means family, friends, celebrations, and…gifting. Here are 7 great Eid gifting ideas in Abu Dhabi.

A treasure chest from… FLOWWOW

The best part? You can just send them to your friends or family, and they won’t (necessarily) need to hunt for it. Why? Because this isn’t just a regular treasure chest, it’s loaded with an exquisite collection of premium Arabian treats such as chocolate-covered pistachio maamoul, Arabic baklava, Turkish delight, caramel pecans, almond dragees, mixed nuts, a crystal essence bukhoor burner, a Turkish coffee kanaka and other treats. You can also show off the treasure chest as a display piece long after the treats are gone.
