Every year on August 28th, the UAE celebrates Emirati Women’s Day, a moment to recognize the women who strengthen families, lead businesses, and inspire communities. Whether you’re honoring a mother, sister, colleague, or mentor, this day serves as a reminder to pause and express your appreciation.
Gifts are a powerful way to express that gratitude. The good news? You don’t need to spend excessively or complicate the process.
A thoughtful gesture, carefully chosen and delivered on time, can make a lasting impression. And don't worry about same-day deliveries; Lalamove can make the entire process seamless for you. Let's discover different types of gifts for Emirati Women's Day to surprise your loved ones.
Thoughtful Gift Ideas for Emirati Women's Day
Signature Oud, Bakhoor Set or Perfumes
Fragrance has always been central to Emirati culture. A curated oud or bakhoor set with a traditional burner can transform a home into a warm, welcoming space. The timeless scent not only creates a beautiful atmosphere but also carries cultural depth, making it one of the most cherished gifts you can give.
You can also gift oud fragrances, such as Oud for Greatness, Oudgasm Vanilla Oud by Kayali, Oud Ispahan by DIOR, or Oud & Roses by Ahmed Al Maghribi.
Bespoke Abaya or Sheila Experience
An abaya or sheila is more than just clothing; it’s a reflection of elegance and personal style. Instead of purchasing one outright, consider offering a voucher for her favorite tailor, giving her the freedom to select fabric and design. Add a thoughtful touch by arranging for the piece to be picked up and delivered when ready, ensuring the whole process is smooth from start to finish.
Desk Comfort Upgrade
For the working woman, comfort at her desk can mean everything. A set including an ergonomic footrest, wrist support, and a minimal lamp can completely elevate her workday. This gift is perfect for both personal and corporate settings.
Floral Arrangements
Flowers are classic, but presentation matters. Instead of the usual bouquet, consider a wide, low arrangement that fits perfectly on a coffee table, paired with a smaller posy for her side table. Some of the best places to order flower arrangements from are Bloomingbox, FNP, Darcey Flowers, and Maison De Fleurs. It’s thoughtful, stylish, and guaranteed to brighten her majlis or living room.
If you need help delivering flowers fresh to her doorstep, choose Lalamove's sedans to make it happen for you. The cars are temperature-controlled to make sure the flowers reach her fresh to make her day. Lalamove's affordable prices make us the best option for same-day deliveries anywhere in the UAE.
Memory Bundle
Few things beat the nostalgia of printed photos in the digital age. Collect a selection of shared memories, print them, and place them in a high-quality acrylic frame or album. Add a timeline card that narrates your journey together, turning simple pictures into a story she can revisit any time.
Home Gahwa Ritual Kit
Few things feel more personal than gifting an experience, and gahwa (Arabic coffee) is at the heart of Emirati hospitality. A kit complete from a famous place, such as Emirati Coffee Co., Café Bateel, or Arabica, with fresh dates, will make up a beautiful package. Pair it with a short handwritten note, and you’ve created more than a gift; you’ve given her a ritual she can share with others.
At-Home Wellness Kit
Wellness gifts never go out of style. Create a package of bath salts, silk scrunchies, a robe, and perhaps a scented candle. Skip unnecessary fillers and keep the kit simple yet elegant. It’s the kind of gift that helps her slow down and take a much-deserved pause.
