Last-Minute Gift Ideas

Rushing last minute to find that special kosher gift for a friend or loved one? Gift baskets make great last-minute options. All you need is a basket and a group of kosher items that go together. It's a good idea to personalize the gift to the person you're giving it to. One way to do this is to take a general idea and then throw in something that the recipient enjoys. For instance, if you are doing a last-minute gift basket with a kosher chocolate theme and you know the recipient likes to eat chocolate during movies, throw in a pair of movie tickets as well. The great thing about a last-minute gift basket is that the ideas are endless and they can be compiled quickly.

Kosher Toffee and Chocolate Gift Basket

Almond toffee and chocolate are the perfect complementary gift basket confections. A mixture of different types of chocolates and toffee is a good idea. This way, the gift recipient will not tire of the treat. Chocolates and toffee are an easy gift to create at the last minute. To be sure you are purchasing kosher confections, always check the label. Enstrom's is a great company that makes both toffee and chocolate. All of of their confections are certified kosher under the Scroll K / Vaad Hakashrus of Denver. For a last-minute option, Enstrom's accepts orders 24 hours a day on their Web site and offers a variety of shipping options that include two-day and even next-day service.

Kosher Gourmet Gift Basket

Another great last-minute gift basket is one that contains assorted gourmet foods. Some suggestions include wine, crackers, cheese, salami, olives, oranges, apples and pecans. Just as with the confections, remember to make sure all items are kosher. KosherWineReport.com is a great place to learn about kosher wines and cheeses. This way your selection, even at the last minute, can be an informed one.

Kosher Bath Care Gift Basket

Many people enjoy gifts they can use in the bath. Kosher bath salts and oils are one idea. Others may include kosher shampoo, conditioner and soaps. Kosher lotions, body spray and candles are also good for last-minute kosher gift baskets. Raffia is great on the inside of the basket for holding these small items in place, as well as creating a decorative look.
