2. Donate to charities or buy an iftar sa’im voucher that will provide iftar for one person all through Ramadan.

5. If you’re having a big iftar party, set up an arts and crafts table for the kids. They can decorate lanterns or play with leftover samboosa dough.

6. Create a traditional platter with dates, dried fruits, nuts and dips. You can even include an Arabic coffee set! Wrap it neatly and you’ll have a nice gift ready for any Ramadan invitation.
