Purim Gift Baskets

When Purim comes and celebrated every year, we became too busy to think what to have in our list. We faced with what to give us a sign of Purim. How we prepare the best Purim Gift Baskets. Normally, some of us like to prepare own handmade gift basket. To give time preparing and creating a beautiful present on Purim.

 Here’s the idea how to make your own gift basket-try a simple way just to see some simple baskets “Small Rattan or Woven Waste Basket” and figure out what items you would like to put in them. Of course, there are plenty of things to fill into baskets.

 You can fill your baskets with the following items like: Item number one on the list is Hamentaschen (A triangular-shaped pastries that are traditionally consumed during the Purim). If you make the pastries yourself, you can fold in the sides with one corner of each side under another and the opposite corner of each side over the other. Some other people have tried to fold two adjacent sides in and then fold the bottom flap over both the other two sides. That doesn’t work because the flap will open and it’s just not fun to eat that way.

 You can add these savory selection and delicious assortment in your Purim gift basket. Items including chocolate bar, Assorted Gourmet Chocolates, Peanut Butter Crunch Squares, Walker Shortbreads, Chocolate Covered Almonds, French Twists, Raspberry Truffles, Brent & Sams Cookies, Pecan Caramel Chocolate Turtles, Chocolate Covered Q Bits, Milk Chocolate Truffles and Cinnamon Almonds.

 Mean reason why Jewish people wish to eat Hamentaschen “the famous pastry in Germany”.

 Jews eat this three cornered pastry on Purim is that Haman wore a three-cornered hat. Eating an image of Haman’s hat is a way to symbolically destroy his memory. Another reason hamantashen eating tradition comes from the Midrash (Jewish commentaries on the Hebrew Scriptures). The Midrash describes Haman bent over, covered with shame and humiliated (literally with clipped ears) when he entered the King’s treasury. The three-cornered hamantashen are symbolic of Haman’s clipped ears. In Hebrew, hamantashen are called Oznay Haman, which means Haman’s ears.

 Third reason-The triangular shape pastries represents the strength given to Esther by the three founders of Judaism — Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

 Another giving ideas or sending Purim Gift Basket “ Shalach Manot” to fulfill the mitzvah

 Sending Purim Gift Basket to the one you don’t know is to fulfill the mitzvah. Sometimes we have to make a gift for someone we don’t experience that well many are simply a treasure trove of treats that anyone can love.

 Share Purim Gift Basket filled with some sweet fresh foods; these are the greatest thing to partake with the needy people nearby your locations

 Visiting an aged people in a nursing home that mostly was hoping that their family or children will visit them. On Purim who knows you’ll the only person remember visiting them. You can share the spirit of Purim of the sick people in hospital.

 You can give a type of Purim Gift Basket filled with fruits.

 Beside from the gift basket you can give money to those who are less fortunate. In fact, it’s better to give more money to the side of charity.

 Volunteering your time is an act of giving just as much as a gift basket is to the needy and a half shekel is for charity. The act of giving is in the heart and these people who wanted to celebrate on Purim with you who spend time sharing with them also fulfill the Mitzvah.

 Purim is a wonderful time of year; these days are the best to show people that you care. That’s the reason we have to celebrate.
