In the past, children accept QR10, but now they are reluctant to accept even QR50.

A national, interviewed by Al Arab, on how gift-giving during Eid in Qatar has evolved over time.

Traditionally, elders gift children small amounts of money as Eidiya, but young people are starting to ask for more, the newspaper reports.

The Peninsula translates:

Sama Nasser, said both her and her brother preferred prepaid bank cards since it gave them freedom to choose what they wanted to purchase themselves for Eid, adding those who received gifts in the form of bank cards would go to souqs and shopping malls to buy new clothes and other things they needed for the holidays, while others enjoyed in amusement parks, cinemas and restaurants.

Muhammad, a young citizen, said he would feel happier if he would be gifted a bank card that contained the amount of money he needed, adding he considered it the most appropriate way of gifting young people like him.

Of course, not every kid in Qatar will receive a bank card this Eid, though the trend of asking for more money appears to be Gulf-wide.

Do you plan to give gifts to children?

Thoughts?
