Team EW brings you the pieces they’d most love to give (or receive) for Eid-al-Fitr...
Luck Be A Lady — Alexandria Gouveia, Online Editor (pictured above)
Wardrobe style staples like statement shoes or a chic dress are always great gifting options for any woman. This Victoria Beckham frock, complete with a semi crop-top and an elegant front split, is at the top of my Eid wishlist, while the furry Karen Millen heels make the ulitmate fashion statement.

A neat black heel has the power to lend sophistication to any occasion and these are comfy enough to get me through the whole day, demure enough for Iftar and, with their arrow print, idiosyncratic enough to ensure I stand out from the crowd.

Red Alert — Jade Sprowson, Style Director
It’s gift season, and that means treating myself to this beauty of a bag. Lambskin leather in a letterbox-red hue? Hello new favourite! Thanks Chloé, you’ve done it again.

Go your own way — Olivia Phillips, Fashion Features Editor
A devoted disciple of the school of Eurotrash, it would take something pretty special for me to swap my golden chains in favour of silver ones. Pandora, however, may just have done it, its new palm tree collection striking a balance between boho and rock ‘n’ roll, and therefore residing at the top of my Eid wishlist. I’ll be weighing myself down with it and pretending to be Stevie Nicks. I won’t sing though, don’t panic.

Sugar Rush — Carmel Gill, Stylist
I’m not a big fragrance lover; on my dressing table you’ll only find different variations of my one signature scent that I wear all year round. But when Nina Ricci’s limited edition fragrance Les délices de Nina landed on my desk I knew my trademark perfume had some competition. With its super-sweet notes and candy-pink, apple-shaped bottle, it’s the thing I’m hoping for most this Eid.

Shine On — Kerri Bennett, Art Editor
Looking for an Eid gift? For me Charles & Keith is the answer to high street sophistication. This gold bag is glamorous enough to dress up any outfit over the Ramadan period, and it’s also the perfect size to fit all my beauty products when I’m out for dinner with friends.
