We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning.

I wanted to return the favor with a nice card from us and a gift. I don’t know how strict they are with Halal, and I read that Halal-friendly might not be good enough so I’m weary of a gift card to a restaurant even if it says Halal.

So what kind of gift(s) would be appropriate for a thank you? I appreciate any help you all can provide!

    How liberal/conservative do they seem? Our family is fairly liberal but others might not be like that especially if they are older. To be safe , a fruit basket is a good idea. Dates can be tricky depending on the origin of them (ensuring it’s not from settlements).

      I honestly have no idea. They’re younger and we live in the Chicago area, so I can make assumptions but assumptions can always be wrong. I’ll just find something neutral. Thank you!

      What can be tricky with the dates? I tried looking it up but didn’t really find anything explaining it.

        They aren’t vegan as it’s a wasp pupae. As far as I malware almost all the countries that produce dates are Muslim with halal requirements, so I believe it’s a fine gift.

        Got mixed up with Figs. Sorry for any confusion

          I didn’t know that, I thought wasps was just into some types of figs. Well you learn something new everyday, thanks.
