Can’t decide on the best gift baskets for the loved ones on your list? Check out our below tips, suggestions, and favorite made-in-Israel treats, for the best Purim Mishloach Manot that everyone will be talking about for months to come!

And to learn more about where the custom of Mishloach Manot comes from, as well as other common Purim practices, check out our Purim Traditions Explained blog!

1. Include at least two different food items

 

The traditional requirement for Mishloach Manot is to include at least two different types of foods, or a food and a beverage.

Whether you’re a stickler for tradition or not, a gift basket with variety is instantly fancier and more enjoyable, and sure to be appreciated by your recipients! It's an easy way to instantly upgrade your holiday gift giving.

Many of our prepared kosher gift baskets already have two or more different types of foods, or you can put together your own basket by for example combining deluxe Israeli spreads or halva snacks with some authentic Hamantaschen pastries from Israel!

2. Have a taste of the Land of Israel

 

Nothing makes a Jewish gift more special than having it made in the Land of Israel, and what better way to celebrate Purim than by giving your loved ones a chance to indulge in some of the best Israeli-made delicacies?

This year in particular, Israeli farmers have suffered due to the war and need our support. You'll be doing a great deed by shopping from Israel, and at the same time you'll give your Mishloach Manot recipients a special and unique connection to the Land of Israel and its people.

The “Land of Milk and Honey” is of course famous for its honey, but equally amazing are its all-natural olive oil, wine and grape juice, tehina, scrumptious halva, and teas and coffees.

So make it an unforgettable gift by including some of the best flavors of Israel in your Mishloach Manot!

3. Add other Purim-themed gifts

 

Spread the joy of Purim and instantly upgrade your Mishloach Manot baskets by adding a small gift inspired by the holiday: whether a greeting card, grogger, fun mask, confetti or ribbons, or even a toy or other Jewish item made just for kids!

And of course, traditional Hamantaschen pastries always add holiday spirit, whether homemade or ordered straight from Israeli bakeries.

For something that'll turn heads even more and ensure your Mishloach Manot are talked about for months, add an exclusive, Israeli-designed Purim t-shirt or a Queen Esther mug!
