Sponsored Post: Best Anniversary Gifts for Arab Women
Did you know that nearly 3.7 million Americans trace their roots back to an Arab nation?
Whether you were born in the U.S. or immigrated here, you’ll want to pay special honor to your spouse. And one way you can do that is by presenting a token of your affection and appreciation to your devoted wife to commemorate a wedding anniversary.
Some Western customs may not align with your faith and way of life if you’re Arab or Muslim. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some ways you can honor your wife on your wedding anniversary without turning your back on everything you believe in as an Arab American.
Continue reading to see some of the best anniversary gifts to consider for your wife and the mother of your children.
Jewelry
One option is to buy jewelry. A woman should have at least one staple piece of jewelry to wear on special occasions whether spending time with her husband, close family, or extended family. You don’t have to spend an arm or a leg, but you should aim for quality. One option, among many others, is an eternity ring. You can check out eternity rings, earrings, and other options. Find something that’s within a reasonable budget. You don’t have to spend a lot.
Depending on how long you’ve been married, you may know a lot about your wife’s preferences in jewelry. Maybe she prefers rings and bracelets over earrings and necklaces. Whatever you choose, you’ll discover that jewelry can make a great anniversary gift for your wife.
Perfume
Another option is perfume. You don’t have to spend much money to get a bottle of high-quality perfume that your wife will treasure for a long time. Choose a scent that you know your wife will love. Muslim women tend to avoid wearing perfumes out in public. But that doesn’t mean they can’t use it when spending time with their families.
Abayas
Abayas are always in fashion. By covering the whole body from head to toe, abayas symbolize the modesty and simplicity that traditional Arab or Muslim women prize. That’s one reason why abayas make great gifts. You can get them in different patterns and colors. Choose a design you know your wife will love. If you’re unsure, take her to a retailer that sells abayas so she can select the one she wants.
Hijab Boxes
Does your wife have an ever-growing collection of hijabs? If so, she might need another hijab box. They will come in handy if your wife wants a way to keep her collection in one place. They’ll be organized rather than scattered all over the place. While you’re at it, you might also want to buy your wife a few more hijabs.
Books
Is your wife a bookworm? If she loves to read whenever she has free time, you could buy her some books. The books can be on different aspects of her faith or other topics. Ensure the material is uplifting and inspiring so that she’ll be blessed while reading them. You can check out some online bookstores for some ideas on what books to buy your wife. It’s good to see what books are trending to figure out which ones your wife may like.
Prayer Rug
Yet another gift idea is a prayer rug. If the one your wife has is worn and torn, it makes sense to replace it with a new one. It’s a gift that any observant Muslim woman will want.
If you have an upcoming anniversary and aren’t sure you want to give your wife, you now have a few ideas. It’s the thought that counts, so you’ll want to find something that speaks to her heart. As an Arab American, you don’t have to follow all of the customs in the U.S. But you can find ways to honor your wife in a way that uplifts her in a way that’s consistent with your faith.
