Aidilfitri Gifts


For this year, my ever so creative Kak Kay, who supplies gifts to my company, creates these beautiful baskets for my muslim loyal customers.

Inside, she places a box of traditional kuih makmor.

They are suitable for wedding gifts, too! It resembles our Negeri Sembilan traditional 'boko', gifts we bring to visit our elders in the 'bertandang' ceremony after our wedding. Usually the box will be filled with homemade dodol or wajik, and our uncles and aunties will return our empty 'boko' with some cash inside.

Nostalgic. Children nowadays don't do that anymore, they'll probably just sms a thank you note to us, if they even care to remember .....
