If you didn’t know, Emirati Women’s Day is coming up soon and what better way to celebrate the Emirati women than through the love language of gift-giving.
Here’s our gift guide if you’re looking to celebrate the Emirati women in your life and make their day extra special.
Start the Day Right
Don’t let the start of the day go to waste! At Giardino, Palazzo Versace, ladies can get 50% off a lavish breakfast spread, so you can start the day with a celebration.
Bring Her Some Bling

Give Her a Treat at Kokoro
Kokoro, the Japanese hand roll bar, has set up a special Ladies Night for Emirati Women’s Day. Whether you’re in the NAS or Alserkal Avenue branch, ladies dining at Kokoro will get the chance to participate in an all-day raffle and get the chance to win complimentary dishes or exclusive perks.
Gift a Spritz
For the women who love their scents, a perfume can be the perfect gift, provided you know their scent profile. Mauzan, founded by Emirati entrepreneur Rafia Helal Bin Drai, provide a collection of scents that are sentimental and luxe.
Gift Some Glamour
A chic handbag in a gift bag? Yes, please! Dubai-based brand Odeem doesn’t just showcase trendy designs, but is rich in craftsmanship, which makes each purse extra special to gift.
Book Her a Spa Sesh
If the women you know prefer experiences over materialistic things, then why not book a spa sesh to relax? For Emirati Women’s Day, Mövenpick Resort, Al Marjan Island, is offering an exclusive wellness and dining experience throughout the month of August to honour Emirati women. Called the Empower & Indulge package, it includes massages and a high tea inspired by Emirati flavours.
Give her a Sweet Treat
If the women you are celebrating are fans of sweet treats, then treat them to an experience at Beefbar. Whether it’s lunch or dinner, on August 28th, all Emirati women will receive Beefbar’s signature dessert, the Marbled Chocolate Bar, a lovely chocolatey dessert designed to look like a slab of meat! It’s decadent with a crispy biscuit base and soft caramel, striking the perfect balance between crunchy and creamy, and ending your meal on the sweetest note.
Get Something Sentimental
Emirati-led jewellery brand Baguette Design creates luxe pieces that tell a story. So, if you’re looking to make your gift a tad sentimental, take your pick from Baguette Design’s meaningful creations. We recommended their Heritage Collection!
Gift Her a New Outfit
If you’re looking to spoil your fashionable friends, then take a look at My Fancy Closet. Created by Emirati designer Bashayer Almahmoud, you can find vintage-inspired pieces, or you can custom-make your own. With plenty of timeless styles for the modest dresser, this is the perfect gift that will speak to their fashion-forward heart.
Treat Her to a Self-care Sesh
Because who doesn’t love to be pampered? If the women in your life seem stressed out, then treat them to a day of relaxation. At The Spa at Address Hotels + Resorts, you can get 20% off a curated list of spa treatments, valid till September 30, 2025. We’re talking massages that will ease the stress away and facials that bring your glow back!
Gift a Thoughtful Scent
If you’re looking to gift a scent that’s both thoughtful and smells good, may we suggest something aromatherapeutic? The Relax Eau de Parfum from Marks & Spencer’s Apothecary collection does just that! It’s sweet and warm with notes of lavender, sage, white cedar, and amber, crafted to soothe the body and mind.
Treat Her to a Beauty Ritual
If the women you are celebrating are fond of beauty rituals, then why not treat them to one? For Emirati Women’s Day, Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital London is offering a range of deals to choose from. You can take your pick from their signature hydrafacial to their summer detox facial and give the Emirati women in your life the gift of a glow.
Bring Her a Spritz
There’s no such thing as too many perfumes. If you’re looking to honour the women in your life with a scent, then check out KAYALI’s curated fragrance edit for Emirati Women’s Day. Bold, vibrant, versatile, you can take your pick from the top picks—Oudgasm Vanilla Oud, a creamy vanilla, Oudgasm Café Oud, a rich fusion of coffee and oud, Lovefest Burning Cherry, a fun, playful cherry-woody scent, and Fleur Majesty, a juicy, warm floral that works for any season.
For the Foodies
Food can be a thoughtful gift, especially when it’s paired with an experience. For Emirati Women’s Day, Vida Creek Harbour is set to honour the women of the UAE with a beautifully curated afternoon tea paired with panoramic views of the Creek.
A Gift With An Edge
While small leather goods are a common gift for men, they’re just as good for women! Déhanche, a brand that elevates accessorising into an art form, offers a range of belts featuring soft leather and sculptural hardware, adding a cooler edge to a plain outfit and making it the perfect gift for those who love to wear their art.
The Ever Classic Bouquet
A bouquet of flowers may be the standard gift, but you can make it extra special with Flowwow. With bouquets created by UAE-based florists, you can honour and celebrate the women in your life while also supporting local businesses. Talk about a win-win!
A Purse to Remember
If the women you’re celebrating are bag fanatics, then you can’t go wrong with gifting them a purse. The Deco Chain Shoulder Bag is a chic crossbody that can transition easily from day to night. If you prefer something casual and laidback, then go for their denim iteration.
Go on a Staycation
Since Emirati Women’s Day is falling on a Thursday, you could take a long weekend off and celebrate by unwinding. At The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah Al Wadi Desert, you can get 30% off Emirati massages, a complimentary 30-minute rainforest experience, and a city escape with a scenic desert backdrop. You can avail this offer at visitrasalkhaimah.com.
For the Fashionistas
If it’s a fashionista that you’re gifting, then make it an outfit that they’ll cherish. Check out Baruni at Tryano, Abu Dhabi—this Dubai-based brand features a modern yet modest aesthetic, vibrant colours, and timeless silhouettes.
Gift Her Some Mules
Make the celebrations sweeter with footwear she will cherish. Luxury brand JUDE offers a collection that embodies the empowered and elegant, two words that definitely resonate with Emirati women! Their pieces give off a chic, minimalistic touch to any outfit, and we especially recommend their Mercy Mule in its fiery, bright red.
Treat Her to a Day of Wellness
Celebrate the Emirati women in your life with a day of pampering. At Anjana Spa, Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island, female guests can get 20% off all body treatments and massages, and complimentary access to the spa’s steam room, sauna, snow room, jacuzzi, and spa pool. And the best part? This deal is valid not just on Emirati Women’s Day but through August 24-30.
Treat Her to a New ‘Fit
Although gifting clothes might be tricky, if you know the exact style of the person you are gifting, then it’s a cakewalk. If the woman you are gifting likes elegant, feminine designs, then check out Ted Baker’s ready-to-wear collection. Since shirt dresses are in, we especially recommend the Ellisia Wrap Shirt Midi Dress.
End on a High Note
Just because the day is over doesn’t mean you can’t keep on celebrating! At Enigma, Palazzo Versace, ladies can enjoy an authentic Persian three-course set menu paired with stunning views of the Dubai Creek.
