Our Top Mishloach Manot Tips & Ideas for Purim 2026

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!

Shop our food from Israel collection and scrumptious food baskets for the best kosher treats for everyone on your list!

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!

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!

2026 is the year to show that you stand with Israel and Jews around the world and are proud to be Jewish!

There are many fun ways you can incorporate your Jewish and Israel pride into your Mishloach Manot, in addition to shopping from Jewish and Israeli shops for your food items, such as:

• Using Israel- or Jewish-themed gift bags adorned with images of the Israeli flag, Stars of David, etc.
• Writing messages like "Am Yisrael Chai" or "Stand With Israel"
• Including small gift items like Support Israel bracelets, Israeli flag pins, or Israel dog tag necklaces
• If budget allows, including a larger gift like a Jewish or Israel t-shirt, a fun Jewish mug, or a piece of Jewish art
