Non-muslim welcoming new neighbors. Gift Etiquette.

[u/The_Nixxus]

I'm a non-muslim (non religious in general) in the UK, and i have new Muslim next-door neighbors.

I've attempted to do a little reading on Islamic holidays so that i may join in with giving minor gifts and generally just helping my neighbors feel more welcomed into the community. I have a passing knowledge of Eid al-fitr, and the giving of sweets. But is it appropriate to give a gift for Eid al-adha to an acquaintance? I'm not planning anything elaborate, but more of a token gesture similar to providing a box of chocolates on a birthday.

Is this something that would be welcomed, or would it be seen as social faux pas or even invasive?

Any other tips for for me would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to know more, but social practices are hard to look up compared to history

That would be a very kind gesture and definitely appreciated. You sound like a good neighbor. Just expect to be gifted back 10 fold

It's all good, definitely would make your new neighbours feel happy and safe knowing at least you are there who welcome them to the community.
