Special edition sunglasses

Chopard is getting in on the National Day action with a beautiful pair of sunglasses. Their UAE special editions are hand-crafted with a laquer finish, and come in 24 carat white or rose gold plating. The double bridge is covered in soft Nappa leather. Available at leading optical stories for Dh3,500.

Free falafel meals for uniformed forces

We love the made-in-UAE brand Just Falafel for thanking the nation's uniformed forces - and recognising its residents - today by filling their bellies with delicious wraps. The chain's 18 outlets are offering each member of the police, army or civil defense in uniform one free meal. Residents can get one of its most popular offerings, the Emirati meal (falafels on a bed of roasted eggplant, mixed with cucumber pickles, with a spicy yoghurt dressing in samoun bread), for half-price.

Perfect little pots

Al Khayalee Boutique is celebrating National Day with a series of special edition, commemorative dallahs. Available in white or the UAE flag colours of red, green, white and black, the pots are perfectly suited to storing coffee, tea or sugar. Prices start from Dh350. For more information visit the boutique on Dubai's Sheikh Zayed Road or go to www.alkhayaleeboutique.ae.
