Nothing in the shops yet, they generally focus on Fathers Day (early September) and after that all hell breaks loose ... We have just had Idul Fitri here but the emphasis is on travel [to where your parents live or where you grew up] rather than consumerism. The gift giving then happens when you bring souvenirs back to the people where you live and work, although this is not just an Idul Fitri thing; handing out souvenirs ~ especially foodstuff that is a local speciality ~ is customary after all trips taken.
