Authentic Gifting As the calendar inches toward Purim, the focus on mishloach manos becomes intense. Whether you enjoy getting creative and matching every last detail to your theme, or creating magnificent baked goods and pairing them with sweets or other goodies, or putting together a few ready-made foods, you probably have your style figured out by now. But here comes the million-dollar question: What happens with all the perfectly matched-and-themed mishloach manos and all the sweets and goodies when the day is over? Many of us end up discarding the containers and boxes along with lots of junk food we don’t want to find ourselves grazing on while we get to work on our Pesach prep. Here’s our solution: How about taking a different route? This route has no cake or candy, but may still very well tie into your theme. We’ve brainstormed and came up with several natural, homemade mishloach manos ideas that can be easily prepared, creatively presented, and will be appreciated and enjoyed either on Purim and/or well after that. Homemade gifts are a great way to maximize your thoughtful intentions. Most people would prefer a cheaper, homemade gift made especially for them over a last-minute store-grab expensive arrangement. With mishloach manos like these, you know your work will be well received.
