Selfless Good Gift - Part II


Did you manage to visit Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah’s museum shop? This place is a must-see. It carries items inspired from the DAI/The al-Sabah Collection and collections from around the world, as well as an extensive collection of carefully edited books with topics ranging from design to history.

Let’s see what’s what other great gift ideas you can find at the shop. As I mentioned in my previous post, all proceeds from the sale are used to support programs of Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah. So in a way you are supporting your community. So, why not get these lovely bookmarks with Arabic alphabets.  They make an ideal gift for the bookworm in your life, and they’re only KD 5 each.



Cute cushions case with camel zoomorphic calligraphy which states in Arabic "May God protect Kuwait. It’s a good country”. 



Fabric notebook printed with blue and white lotus, inspired from Chinese porcelain


Mini zip lock bag with Palestinian embroidery makes a great make-up bag or coins bag


Silver boxes that can be used for many things.. favors, jewelry box, bukhoor box, gift box, buttons box. Yes I do have a box at home dedicated for my collection of buttons which I have been collecting since I was 8 years old! And some were even inherited from my mom who happened to collect them from the early 60's! I have yet to find a project for this... so-called collection.
