We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning.

I wanted to return the favor with a nice card from us and a gift. I don’t know how strict they are with Halal, and I read that Halal-friendly might not be good enough so I’m weary of a gift card to a restaurant even if it says Halal.

So what kind of gift(s) would be appropriate for a thank you? I appreciate any help you all can provide!

    Hi, Muslim here!

    That sounds very generous of you, honestly I think you’re being very accommodating and that’s already very nice.

    I think something simple like gift bouquets are fine, at grocery stores.

    My neighbours give my family those sometimes. If one box has gelatin, we just give that specific box to a different neighbour.

    But generally it’s ok, just any generic gift bouquet should be fine.

    Thanks for being a great neighbour!

      Thank you very much for this! I was also reading that a fruit platter and/or chocolates are good too?

      If that is true, is there any kind of chocolate that is off limits? I know alcohol and marshmallow is no good, but anything else?

      I want to make sure there’s something for their kids too.
