Are you ready for Eid Toronto? Here’s a checklist:

Eid socks and all the countdown is on🙃 Before you know it Eid will be here 🌙 🎉

Are you ready? How are you doing on your checklist? Here’s some help 💕

✅ Paid your Zakat / Fitra – Don’t worry if you haven’t checked this off yet. Head over to @islamicreliefcanada, @nzfcanada, @icnareliefcanada or any local organization of choice and make a difference Insha’Allah ❤️

✅ Gifts –  Well you’ve already had @ramadanmarket @thepopupsouk but don’t worry the @eidmarket_to is still on until this weekend. Not to mention the countless local vendors on IG and places like @shopmodah and @thedatepalm 🎁 Pictured above are the Happy Eid Halal Socks I got for everyone, even my 3 year old 🧦

✅ Food and Sweets – If you didn’t have a cookie swap🙃 or take advantage of @goldencrumbbiscuit ‘s Eid promo, I’m sure there are still a few bakers taking orders like @heartandsoulsweets.ca but hurry! As for food, if you’re heading out @halalfoodie, @girlsonaroll, @foodiliciousmuslimmom have all the info you need to know about where to eat and what promos are on through out the Greater Toronto Area 🍔

✅ Outfit – Well outfits hopefully you have sorted already, but if not that’s what all the mehlas/galas/open houses this weekend are for 👗

✅ Henna – There are some amazing henna artists all around Toronto. @the.henna.doodler at the Eid Market until Saturday, @hennaswirlss and @hendoodlesbyfarah at Holt Refrew @shopsquareone on Sunday iA. So they have you covered. Not to mention all your local fav artists 🖊

Try and pace yourself, and not leave everything until this weekend. Remember these last days are the opportunity for so many blessings so try and capitalize on as much ibadah as you can🙏🏽

Hope that helps,

Shan
