Purim Gift Baskets - The Perfect Way to Send Mishloach Manot to Israel

People think that Im in a cool profession - creating kosher gift baskets in Israel.

WOW! You send baskets to Israel they ask? You mean for all of the holidays? You deliver gifts to Israel, anywhere in Israel? With products that are made in Israel also? What about Mishloach Manos? Id love to send Purim baskets to Israel, I have tons of family there! Yet, how do I know what kind of Purim gift baskets to send? I would just love to have my family members receive a Shalach Manos from me so they know how much Im thinking of them, but how do I know what to choose?

My job as the owner of Gift Basket Israel is to make my customers job simple - they choose the ready-made Purim baskets that Ive designed and created. When my customers see the finished Mishloach Manot product up on the site, they often comment on how beautiful the Purim baskets are. Im often asked how I decide what goes into each basket, and how Im able to create unique Purim gift baskets in different price ranges and for different clientele. So Ive decided to give some behind the scenes secrets in creating the perfect Mishloach Manos.

In order to create Purim baskets, the first thing is to choose the basket. Let us consider that I want to create childrens themed Purim gift basket. I need to find a cute, inexpensive base to use for the Shalach Manos. Why? Well, because I want to enable, lets say, grandparents to send Mishloach Manot to Israel, to all their grandchildren. Many times I have requests to send several inexpensive Mishloach Manot to each of their grandchildren, so each one will feel special. After I look for and find the perfect base (which is not always so easy to find, but you dont know about that part), I then have to find appealing, kosher, inexpensive, child friendly products to fill the Shalach Manos base with. I want to ensure that the Mishloach Manos products go well with the base, and that if I was a child, I would be thrilled to receive this incredible Mishloach Manos from my grandparents (or from anyone else sending me such a great Purim gift). Only then will I decide that its a terrific Shalach Manos idea, and go ahead with the sample.

Now, for instance, I want to create a Mishloach Manot to send to an entire family. This Mishloach Manot has to meet several criteria. I want the base for the Mishloach Manot to be relatively inexpensive, so that I can fill it with a nice amount of kosher food products. I want the Purim gift basket to be full so that there will be enough tempting kosher food for everyone to enjoy, yet I dont want it to look cheap. So I have to look through catalogues of kosher food products to find items that look nice, taste good, and will fill the base nicely. Not always an easy task, but when you see the finished Mishloach Manos basket on the website, you would never know how much work went into it! I always try to put a few inexpensive Mishloach Manot choices on my website, for people who would like to send Purim gift baskets, and would either prefer to send a Mishloach Manot to Israel that coveys a message of its just the thought that counts, or for people who would like to send large amounts of Purim gift baskets to many people, but are not looking to break the bank on it! For these kinds of Purim gift baskets, I choose an inexpensive base, and inexpensive kosher products to fill the basket with, yet the finished product still looks respectable. This way my customers are able to send their Mishloach Manot to Israel, reaching relatives and friends.

Another example of Shalach Manos that I have many requests for is corporate Purim gift baskets. Sending Mishloach Manot to business associates for Purim is simply good business. This type of Purim gift has to meet several requirements: I want there to be a plentiful amount of kosher food for an entire office staff, I want the base to be in a simple basket or box, so that the money spent is going to the food, not to the basket, and I want the Purim gift basket to look extremely impressive upon receipt. I create a Shalach Manos sample to meet all of the above criteria, and voila, the corporate baskets are a huge hit!

The last sample Ill talk about now is kosher healthy gift baskets to Israel. (We cant give away all of our secrets). Many people are becoming more health conscious, and want to send Mishloach Manot that are not only junk food. Finding kosher products on the market that are healthy has become easier than it has been in the past, and we are now able to offer Shalach Manos with healthy kosher foods such as kosher nuts, kosher dried fruits, and kosher snack items, with other products made in Israel. The recipients of healthy gift baskets or one of our kosher fruit baskets are thrilled to receive something that they can eat without the guilt, and the sender is thrilled to send a Purim gift that they know will be appreciated and enjoyed!

Gift Basket Israel is happy to help you with all of your Mishloach Manos and baskets to Israel throughout the year.
