Top 10 Kosher Gifts

Holidays, birthdays and special occasions are cause for the perfect gift. Kosher gift giving offers unique challenges and opportunities for people to seek out and support industries that take kosher preparations seriously and make them a part of their business plan. In addition, many companies voluntarily seek out the approval of Orthodox Union Kosher when marketing their products. Kosher gift giving allows you to meet the specific needs of the recipient, as well as support sellers who acknowledge and value kosher practices.

1.Enstrom's Customizable Toffee Gift Boxes
Enstrom's toffee and candy, which are certified kosher diary products, are a delicious and upscale choice for holiday or corporate gift giving. Their customizable gift boxes can be purchased in larger quantities, and messages can be printed on sleeves that cover the boxes. Kosher toffee with a twist, Enstrom's toffee is a great choice for kosher gift giving.

2. Abarbanel Kosher Wines
Abarbanel Kosher wines make the perfect gift during the holiday season. The wine selection is large, offering white, red and sparkling varieties from around the world. Place one of each in a gift basket for a holiday hostess.

3. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
Jelly Belly jelly beans have been certified as kosher by the OU (Orthodox Union) as well. Jelly Belly jelly beans are the perfect kosher gift idea, as the snacks can be packaged in re-sealable tubs, as business gifts or in machines and dispensers.

4. Jolly Time Popcorn
Jolly Time popcorn is a great choice for kosher gift giving. Like Jelly Belly, their products are certified as kosher by the OU. While popcorn might not seem like much of a gift, consider creating a movie night gift package, complete with DVDs, popcorn and a bottle of kosher wine.

5. Welcome Baby Gift Basket
Consider putting together a gift basket for a new arrival, complete with the things mom and dad might really appreciate--food and milk! Healthy Times and Nature's One are both certified as kosher, and their product lines would make a great addition to a kosher gift basket.

6. Welcome Home Supplies
If you want to help a family member or friend celebrate a new home with a kosher gift twist, consider filling a gift basket with kosher certified cleaning supplies. The Soft Scrub product line is a great kosher gift choice and can help set up a new home's kitchen with things homeowners can definitely use and need.

7. Water and Vitamin Drinks
Got a college student headed out the door? SoNu Beverages are a great choice to stock a kosher student's dorm room refrigerator. These water- and vitamin-filled drinks are not only kosher, but they're organic, too!

8. For the Tea and Coffee Drinker
A gift basket filled with tea and coffee is a great choice for a kosher recipient. New Line organic teas and the Buck's County Coffee Company are both great choices for kosher gift giving.

9. Funky Chunky Gourmet Snacks
Looking for impressive packaging, as well as the kosher gift itself? Try Funky Chunky's gourmet snacks, certified as kosher foods. They offer everything from popcorn and pretzels to caramel corn - all in classy gift packaging, too.

10. Halloween Treat Packages
Looking to fill a bag with Halloween treats for a kosher recipient? Dum Dum lollipops are a great choice, as are Jelly Belly jelly beans. These are readily available at supermarkets and convenience stores, so they make a great choice for a last-minute kosher children's gift package.

Kosher gift giving allows you to meet the specific needs of the recipient, as well as support sellers who acknowledge and value kosher practices. Dress up a simple gift with great packaging offered by several companies, and you'll have a gift that's not only kosher but impressive to look at, too.
