Winter gifts
Our winter is short, but it is a season in its own right: nights of kashta outings around the campfire, courtyard gatherings that return after a long summer, and mornings when you need something warm in your hands before work. A winter gift works because it gets used right away, and its owner remembers it every year as soon as the weather turns cold: a fine winter farwa to wrap up in out in the desert or in the majlis, a thermal coffee flask to carry coffee along on desert outings, a heavy blanket for cold nights at home, an electric coffee grinder for someone who likes to grind fresh beans every morning, or an elegant scarf that completes a winter outfit for a mother, sister or friend. This guide covers ideas for men and women, for desert lovers and homebodies, and when the best time is to buy before the cold sets in.

FAQs about Winter gifts
What makes a great winter gifts?
The best winter gifts divide according to how the person spends the season. For lovers of the desert and kashta outings: a fine winter farwa, a gift that suits men and women alike since there are so many styles today, with a thermal coffee flask with a tight lid that suits an evening outing. For homebodies: a heavy blanket for evening sitting in front of the TV. For the coffee lover who starts the day with a cup: an electric coffee grinder that fills the house with the smell of beans on cold mornings. For a woman, from her family or friends, an elegant scarf or shawl completes a winter outfit and is worn with the abaya. And a group gift in winter has a special flavour: kashta gear the young men share, or a flask and cups for the family's courtyard gathering.
How do I choose the right winter gifts?
Timing is half the gift: buy at the start of the season, with the first cool nights, not in the middle after everyone has already got their farwa and blanket out; and remember that winter differs from one region to another, so someone in the north needs a heavy farwa while someone in milder regions is fine with a lighter piece. With a farwa and clothing in general, ask about size and length before buying, and choose a calm colour that goes with a thobe or an abaya. With a flask, look for a lid that does not leak and a capacity that suits the number of people on their outings. If the gift is for a colleague, male or female, keep it to general things like the flask and coffee, and leave the shawl and farwa to family and close friends. And since our cold season does not last long, choose something that stays with them for years and comes out again every winter, rather than a fashion piece that ends with the season.
