A few things come to mind when you say the word Ramadhan: fasting from dawn to dusk, Bazaar Ramadhan, new clothes for raya, little envelopes for duit raya for children, and a plethora of other things.
One thing that doesn’t usually come to mind though, is Ramadhan gifts.
Nevertheless, they can be useful things to have, either as gifts to bring to buka puasa open houses, as a nice gesture, a corporate gift, or even just something for you to look forward to after a long day’s fasting.
Ramadhan’s almost over, but with just over a week left to go, if you’re still shopping for gifts, here is a list of items you can get from local startups, so that you can do so while also #SapotLocal.
