this is the first Eid that i’m not a student, i mean i’m working.
so i guess i’ll have to give Eidi to everyone???
now there’s SOOOO many lil kids in my family. sabHon ko eidi deni paray gi kya? why couldnt my cousins have stuck to the “do bachay hi achay” rule MAN, all of them have such a big tabbaR
waise no other girls in my family work so like i guess it’ll be weird for a girl to be giving eidi to elders? or nai?
like what about the buzurgz in my family who don’t earn: i’ll have to give them eidi too right?
should i be sending eidi to my grandparents or will it be rude? nephews n nieces aur bhabioN ko toh khair deni hi ho gi i guess [mental note: tomorrow is the last working day before eid, TCS k daftar ja k bhejni ho gi kal]
OMG i’ll have to give eidi to my younger brother too mein toh luTT gai us ke toh itnay nakhray haen us ko toh zaada si deni paray gi!!!
GRREEAATTT!! there goes my ghareeb see salary for the whole month
khair, aap log exactly kis kis ko eidi dete haen???
you ppl make it sound like as if eidi is given for someone's daily living. I thought Eidi was only given to kids so they can buy some candy for themselves
I’ve been thinking too. Both my younger brothers work but I feel I should still give them eidi since they r younger. This time I will give my mother some too, Insha Allah. Got presents for my neices but I’ll give them money too cos they love it. If its more than one bill they call it monies and come up with whats a huge figure for them like twenty five or something and keep their twenty five monies safe, haha, so I’ll give them lots of dollar bills.
FF thas cute haan jab tak nieces choTi haen un ko choTay choTay note de k khush honay do jab bari ho jayein gi toh demands aur nakhray bhee barh jayein ge un Ke mere cousins k bachay toh itnay dheeT haen paanch das k note se maanTe hi naheen
Nescio eidi jis jis ko deni hoti hae us ko deni chahiye kyun k its a symbolic gesture and a nice thing to do :rotato:
Shikra i have a special eidi for u → aik adad heel kee sandle se hajamat
aur kanjoos u shud give eidi to ur bros so what if they earn eidi toh bas aik rasam hae baray choTon ko dete haen aur ammi ko bhee deni chahiYe, kamazkam beTon ko toh apni ammYon ko eidi zaroor deni chahiye
PS: Guess what i I am pretty much in the same position that you are, only that I am a guy jis ko bachey aur Be-dardee sai loottey heen. My Father and Mather are eldest from their sides so am I in my cousines. Rule of the thumb is You give eidi to youngers. If Bhai & Bhabi are elder you have a way out.
BTW its always good to give some “gift” to non-earning BUZERGS like nani aama, dadi aama etc. They will in reply give you their DUAS ofcourse you cant match that. I normally give Kashmiri-Shawls or Sweeters in winter or some light chardar or other cloths in summers.
Irem you are so crazy!! It is up to you who you would like to give eidi too. It is not mandatory I would restrict it to just your bros/sisters (if they don’t work) and their kids. Don’t get into the whole cousin and unn ke bachay ke damaad ke bhai ki beti ka devar mess.
Irem, you only give eidi to the younger ones..in my relatives they always used to give Rs. 5 and if someone would be a closer relative like dada chacha wagaira to phir Rs. 10..that was about 9 years ago..its just a token of love..shouldn't be too much of a burden on the person who's giving.
This thread brings a lot of memories :) I remember i had been giving eidi since i was a kid..hum apni eidi may say apnay chotay cousins ko eidi day detay thay..
when i moved to canada..the trend changed..we were told by one of our relative that they don't give out money as it was the immigration phase and some relatives weren't employed..so she said don't give any money..coz then kids starts expecting it..and what if some year around eid time you don't have a job or have financial problem..eventhough that was years and years ago..trend hi kuch aisa set hogiya..we do give gifts now..like chocolate boxes and biscuit boxes.
Last year i gave individual gifts to all family friends and relatives..but this year i am not..as i am a full time student with no money :D
but i always make sure that i buy gifts for my immediate family..gift changes every year depending on my budget..but all i can remember is that i had been giving gifts for the many years..gift ammi abbu to bhi dia ja sakta hay magar eidi nahi..so i always buy gifts.
Alhamdulillah, I received some, however, the total amount that I get has been going downhill. It's so sad!
Wish I could get more, but alhamdulillah it's better than not getting any.
As for giving out, I gave my 3 yr old cousin a present. She doesn't know the value of money anyway, so it's not worth giving her money. Besides, I'm only 19 and I'd feel very awkward giving out eidi, hence, I'll stick to presents (to lil cousins).
this was the first eid that i wasnt a student...i gave eidi to only my younger bro...:)...i had planned to give eidi to my cousins as well...but they didnt show up...:S
so i ended up giving only 500 rs as eidi to my chota bhai...:)
