As Eid 2024 approaches, the Eid Allowance (THR) serves not only as a source of joy for many but also as an opportunity to spread happiness to loved ones. One of the most common uses of THR is purchasing hampers to be distributed among family, colleagues, and other dear ones.

Hampers, typically given to those who are difficult to meet or unable to be visited directly during Eid, are a lovely way to express affection and togetherness. However, when planning to send hampers to several people at once, it's important to consider budget constraints to avoid emptying your wallet.

Rista Zwestika, a financial planner and Head of Advisory and Investment Operation at PINA, offers a solution for those who may be confused about allocating their THR to purchase Eid hampers in 2024.

The first step advised by Rista is to carefully list down the recipients of the hampers. Prioritize close family, important colleagues, and neighbors with whom you have a strong relationship or specific needs. For example, parents, in-laws, coworkers, or business partners.

Once the recipient list is recorded, the next step is to consider financial capabilities. Adjust the hampers budget with your income or the THR you receive. Don't hesitate to make hampers yourself to save costs, or take advantage of discounts and promotions on e-commerce platforms to buy hampers within your financial means.

Rista suggests allocating around 5-10 percent of your total income or THR received to purchase hampers. However, if you wish to give hampers to more people, you may consider allocating up to 20 percent of the total budget.

By following the tips recommended by Rista Zwestika, it is hoped that you can wisely allocate your THR to purchase Eid hampers in 2024. Hopefully, this information serves as a guide for those who want to spread happiness and togetherness in celebrating the Eid moment.
