Who Are We?

We’re a family from Singapore on a mission to inspire Muslim families to embrace Sunnah in daily life. Our collection features durable, multi-purpose lifestyle products, mostly made from sustainable materials, reflecting our role as environmental stewards.
These products are not only practical but also align with the intention of practising Sunnah. Inspired by the hadith, “Exchange gifts so you will love one another” (Adab Al-Mufrad by Imam Bukhari), our pieces are practical, meaningful, and perfect for gifting.

Our Story

From A Blessed Place

During our first Umrah trip in 2016 as a small family, we were deeply moved by the peace and tranquility of Makkah and Madinah. One of our favourite experiences was the easy access to Zamzam water.
However, we were equally struck by the staggering use of disposable plastic cups and the constant distribution of plastic bags at the Masjid entrances for footwear. While thoughtful, we couldn’t help but feel there had to be a better way.
After returning to Singapore, the thought stayed with us, and we knew we needed to take action.

Turning reflection into action

Our First Umrah Gift Set

Although the initial concerns stayed with us, we didn’t take immediate action. However, in 2018, when my husband planned and executed another DIY Umrah trip - this time managing the entire process and leading a group of family and acquaintances - we recognised an opportunity to address these challenges.
We prepared an Umrah Gift Set for the pilgrims, specially curated to encourage mindfulness. One of the items was a reusable, foldable silicone cup - a sustainable alternative to the disposable plastic cups used with Zamzam water barrels.
We chose a cup over a bottle because, from experience, traveling light during tawaf and sa'ie is more practical. A cup is enough to quench thirst while being compact and easy to carry in a small bag, making it useful not only during Umrah but also for masjid visits.

And Here We Are

Although we did not follow through the first project due to other commitments, the experience inspired us to continue embracing mindfulness and integrating the Sunnah into daily life.
By 2023, we decided to pick up where we left off and turn our intentions into action, with the goal of inspiring fellow Muslims to embrace mindful and sustainable habits. Tulus Gifts was born - a heartfelt initiative to inspire thoughtful living, care for the environment, and honour the Sunnah through practical, meaningful products.

Peace & Love,
