4 gift ideas for Passover

Passover is all about the feasting and prayers, but just as important is the exchanging of gifts after the traditional Seder meal.

Whether you're looking for a special Passover gift for family or friends, the ideas from this list can help make this year special. Passover is all about the feasting and prayers, but just as important is the exchanging of gifts after the traditional Seder meal. Since Passover lasts for eight days, you may need creative help in finding the perfect Passover gifts that express your gratitude for the season and your love for those you share it with. Traditional Passover gifts include boxes of fruit and sweets. Here are four Passover gift ideas that will also make a good impression:

Instead of a traditional Seder plate, there are many unique and classy designs that can hold personal appeal. Artfully designed plates can be beautiful additions to the table. Hand-painted plates, plates inlaid with tile or even a plate made from authentic Jerusalem stone are sure to be a hit.

Because wine is such an important part of Passover, kosher wine is another traditional gift, with some excellent kosher wines in all price ranges. Why not make your choice unique by choosing a wine from France or Israel? When choosing a wine for Passover, make sure it's labelled as kosher and that it specifically includes a "P" indicating that it is kosher for Passover.

Again, this type of gift may be very traditional, but shopping around for a truly extraordinary cookbook can show affection and respect. A beautiful and unique book is Aromas of Aleppo, which artfully displays the traditional dishes of the Aleppian Jewish community, many of whom migrated to New York. This book is not only functional, but it also makes a wonderful coffee table book.

Scour the web for online shops that offer unique creations. Simply entering the word Passover in its search box will show you many unique and handmade items that are sure to make memorable gifts. From candles to kiddush cups to gefilte fish charms, the items are unique. No one else at the feast will be giving the same gift.

Passover is a time for gathering with friends and family and experiencing the joy and celebration of this important Jewish High Holiday. With just a bit of research, you can make your Passover gift special and unique.
