Eid Gift Ideas Under Rs 2,000 from Pakistani Small Businesses
The Eid gifts people actually keep are the ones that feel chosen, not grabbed off a mall shelf on the last day. Everything below is made by a small business somewhere in Pakistan, stays under Rs 2,000, and ships to your door with cash on delivery — so you can order for someone in another city without a second thought. There is also a section on when to order, which is the part that catches most people out.
Handmade jewellery
A pair of oxidised jhumkas or a dainty handmade necklace is the classic "she will actually wear this" gift. Small-batch jewellery from independent makers looks far more special than mass-produced pieces, and often costs less.
For a gift, dainty is the safer choice than statement. You are not there to see the outfit it needs to match, and a thin chain or small studs suit almost everyone. Save the heavy jhumkas for people whose style you genuinely know.
Scented candles & home fragrance
Hand-poured candles are a safe, loved gift for almost anyone. Look for soy or coconut wax and a scent that suits the person — oud and musk for a classic feel, citrus or vanilla for something lighter.
Scent is personal, so when in doubt go warm and neutral rather than distinctive. Vanilla, sandalwood and light floral please most people; a strong single note is a gamble unless you already know they like it.
Crochet & handmade keepsakes
Crochet flowers that never wilt, amigurumi toys, or a cosy knitted piece make a memorable gift — especially for kids, new mums, or anyone who appreciates something made by hand.
Crochet bouquets have become genuinely popular as an Eid gift for a good reason: they carry the gesture of flowers without dying in four days, and they photograph beautifully. They also travel well, which matters if you are sending across cities.
💡 Worth knowing
Crochet is made to order, so it needs the longest lead time of anything here. Browse Crochet & Knitting early rather than in the last week.
Gift hampers & boxes
Cannot decide? A curated hamper — candle, chocolates and a small accessory — feels generous and does the wrapping for you. Many small businesses will customise the box for Eid.
Hampers are also the best answer when you are gifting someone you do not know well: a colleague, an in-law, a friend’s family. Variety means at least one thing in the box will land.
Gifts by who you are buying for
Most people get stuck on the person, not the budget. A shortcut by recipient.
- Mother or mother-in-law — hand-poured candle, a soft shawl, a personalised keepsake. Something for the home lands better than something to wear.
- Sister or close friend — dainty jewellery, a scrunchie or hair-accessory set, a small hamper. This is where handmade shines.
- Kids — amigurumi toys, personalised name keychains, colourful accessories. Their name on something is close to unbeatable.
- Men — leather keychains or card holders, a subtle attar or fragrance, a well-made desk piece. Understated beats decorative.
- New mums — anything soft, handmade, and for the baby rather than the house. Crochet booties and blankets are perennial.
- Colleagues and neighbours — small hampers or candles. Thoughtful without being personal enough to be awkward.
🔑 The key point
Buying for someone whose taste you do not know? A hamper. The variety means something in the box lands, which a single item cannot guarantee.
Order earlier than you think
This is the part that ruins Eid gifting, every year, for people who did nothing wrong except leave it late.
Handmade means made. A crochet piece or a personalised item genuinely takes days to produce, and small sellers get a surge of Eid orders all at once — the same week you are ordering, so is everyone else.
Couriers slow down in the run-up too, and Chand Raat is effectively a cut-off, not a delivery day. If you are sending between cities, allow more time than a within-city order.
A practical rule: order ready-made items about two weeks before Eid, and anything personalised or made-to-order three weeks out. If you are late, filter for items that ship immediately rather than gambling on a maker finishing in time.
Handmade means made. Every seller receives their Eid orders in the same week you are placing yours, and couriers slow down at exactly that point.
Buying with confidence
Gifting adds a wrinkle to online shopping: you often will not see the item before the person you are giving it to does.
- Order to your own address first if the timeline allows, so you can check it before passing it on.
- Ask whether gift wrapping is available — most small sellers do it, and many will include a handwritten note.
- Confirm whether the price is included on the invoice, and ask for it to be left off if the parcel goes directly to the recipient.
- Cash on delivery works normally for gifts, but if the parcel is going straight to someone else, make sure they are not the one being asked to pay.
- Check the returns policy before ordering personalised items — customised pieces frequently cannot be returned, for obvious reasons.

Frequently asked
Can I get Eid gifts delivered across Pakistan?
Yes — sellers on dapxop ship nationwide, and cash on delivery is available so you can order with confidence.
Are these gifts really under Rs 2,000?
The ideas here focus on the under-Rs-2,000 range. You can also filter any category by price to match your budget exactly.
How early should I order Eid gifts?
About two weeks ahead for ready-made items and three weeks for anything personalised or made to order. Handmade genuinely takes days to produce, small sellers receive their Eid orders all at once, and couriers slow down in the final week. Chand Raat is a cut-off, not a delivery day.
What if I have left it too late?
Filter for items that ship immediately rather than made-to-order pieces, and prefer a seller in the same city as the recipient. Ready-made candles, jewellery and hampers move much faster than anything being crocheted or personalised.
Can I send a gift directly to someone else’s address?
Yes. Ask the seller to leave the price off the invoice, and check whether they offer gift wrapping and a note — most small sellers do. If you are using cash on delivery, make sure you are not leaving the recipient to pay for their own gift.
What is a good Eid gift for someone I do not know well?
A small hamper or a hand-poured candle. Hampers work because the variety means something in the box will land, and neutral scents like vanilla or sandalwood suit most people. Avoid anything sized or highly personal.
Can I return a personalised gift?
Usually not, for the obvious reason that nobody else can use it. Check the seller’s returns policy before ordering anything customised, and be precise about spellings and sizes when you place the order.
Are handmade gifts more expensive than mall gifts?
Generally not at this budget. Under Rs 2,000 you are usually getting something better made and more distinctive from a small business than from a chain store, because you are not paying for retail overheads.
