A wedding or an engagement
The couple's two names set together on one line, the way a calligrapher writes them, framed in A3 for AED 185. Take the spelling in Arabic script from the couple or their family rather than transliterating from English. See wedding gifts.

A welcome tray from AED 75, a tissue box carrying «بيتنا جنتنا» ("our home, our paradise") for AED 130, or a verse for the entrance as a framed paint from AED 140. See housewarming gifts.
A newborn or a graduation
The child's name in Diwani, Thuluth or Nastaliq — 296 names are already drawn — or «العلم نور» ("knowledge is light") for a graduate, as a paint from AED 60.
Ramadan and Eid
Dates boxes and jars from AED 75, serving trays for the iftar table, and a Quranic verse for the majlis. See the Ramadan and Eid gift guide.
For a company
Client gifts carrying a name, or a logo beside classical calligraphy; orders of AED 1,500 or more take 10% off with the code BULK10. See corporate gifting.
