Finding
the Perfect Kosher Gift Basket
By the Editor
Looking
for a kosher gift basket?
My
husband's business partner is Jewish and finding him a gift for
the holidays was always a little difficult. First of all, I never
knew when the Jewish holidays were and secondly I always had trouble
trying to find gifts that met Jewish dietary requirements. For Rosh
Hashanah (Jewish New Year) and Hanukkah, I wanted to find him a
kosher gift basket. But not just any kosher gift basket, a gourmet
kosher gift basket that would taste as good as it looked.
Finding
the perfect kosher gift basket
I
searched all over the Internet to try and find the perfect kosher
gift basket. I found plenty of kosher gift baskets, but they were
so dull and ugly! I wasn't prepared to give up on appearance or
taste, and so I kept looking. Finally I found a UK site that offered
a variety of gourmet
kosher gift baskets that were not only kosher, but were original
and beautifully packaged too! Their fantastic selection of kosher
food and kosher gift ideas made it easy to pick the perfect kosher
gift basket for my husband's boss.
The
kosher gift basket that everyone loves
The
morning after my husband's partner came back from his Rosh Hashanah
holiday, my husband brought back a beautiful thank you card. His
partner and his family had loved the kosher gift basket I ordered
and wanted to know where I ordered it from so that they could send
similar kosher gift baskets to their other Jewish friends. At Hanukah
my husband told me that they used the site I found to order kosher
gift baskets for all their Jewish customers and suppliers. His partner
also ordered a number of kosher gift baskets for his friends and
family.
How
kosher is your kosher gift basket?
After
receiving questions from a number people, I found that it's important
to check just how kosher the products in a kosher gift basket really
are. Some Jews observe stricter dietary laws than others, so it's
important to check that what you order meets their requirements.
My
favorite kosher
gift basket site, www.ripegifts.co.uk,
ensures that all its kosher products and manufacturers are listed
in the "Really Jewish Food Guide" published by the London
Beth Din (a Jewish religious authority in the UK). All the kosher
food products they stock are packaged by the approved manufacturers
and are then re-arranged by them (beautifully, I must add) with
their original packaging intact in stunning gift baskets or containers.
This ensures that the contents of the kosher gift basket stay kosher.
