Ramadan is right around the corner! One of my very favorite things to do to celebrate our beautiful month is decorating my home and hosting gatherings with my big Syrian family. I put together this list of Ramadan decor, gifts and other resources for my beloved Vela community because I know how much you guys love a vibe!

 A Ramadan charcuterie board? Say less:

The smell of Ramadan is Bakhoor:

Dukhni Bakhoors make the best non-toxic bakhoors that you can directly light, so no need to try get an extra burner. Instantly change the mood and get into a meditative state with these artisanal scents. @dukhnibakhoor

Knafeh is always a winner:

Knafeh Queens will make dreamy knafeh at your Ramadan table a reality. Stock up on their award winning knafeh because both you and your guests will want seconds. @knafehqueens

Decorate with pieces you'll keep forever:

My Name is Rasha is the place for glam decor. These Maroc Candle Holders are elegant pieces that you can decorate with all year long. Whether you use them on a table scape or on a fireplace mantle, you won't regret these quality holders. @mynameisrasha

Affordable Ramadan plates can transform a table:

Eid Creations has a selection of beautiful porcelain like tableware that really elevates your iftar table. Easy clean up is also the best when you're feeling that post iftar tiredness. @eidcreations

Add some unique, cultural Ramadan decor:

Rasm will enchant your space with their luxurious, artisan pieces. All your friends will ask where you got these Pearls of North Africa candle tealight lanterns. @its.rasm

Celebrate the gift of Salat by praying beautifully:

Serenity Scarves have been my go to prayer attire for years. Crafted in silk, with beautiful patterns and an all-in-one piece, it makes the gift of connecting with Allah even more special. @serenityscarves

A few thoughtful decor items is all you need:

Elegant, intentional Ramadan decor is the way to go:

Studio Nayma creates some of the chicest Ramadan and Eid decor that you will actually be excited to use every year. Timeless and minimal, they not only craft neon moon lights but so many other creative pieces. @studionayma

Break your fast in a beautiful way:Days of Eid's Moon and Star Platter make breaking your fast an experience. They're Ramadan Countdown calendar is also a real treat if you have any little ones. @daysofeid

Celebrate Iftar with a Special Table Setting:

Pick a color scheme and use small design elements in your table decor, like candles or palm fronds. I used these fronds from my back yard, so get creative and use what you have. These amazing plates are from @daysofeid

You can also add a touch of personalization by printing a greeting card, a dua on some card stock, or the iftar menu. My family loved that I added a reference to our hometown Aleppo.

I hope you got some inpso! As cute as all this is, remember that Ramadan's about strengthening your connection with Allah and giving back, so don't stress out about making things "perfect".

On the note of giving back, keep an eye out for our upcoming Solidarity Collection, where 100% of proceeds from each scarf will go towards often overlooked causes. - Marwa
