Create The Perfect Purim Gift Basket

make your own color themed basket

Even though we had an extra month of Adar this year I still feel like all of a sudden Purim is creeping up on me.  I have been undecided about my plan for Mishloach Manot this year when I got a call from Oh! Nuts.  I knew all about Oh! Nuts, I love the gift baskets they sell, but I usually prepare my own baskets and I didn’t realize the extent of what they sold.  Turns out they are are a mecca of supplies to help make any food gift basket, especially though for Purim.  They have homemade hamantashen, tons of chocolate specialties and tons of candy if every different color.

For the perfect Purim gift basket theme, consider color to express your creativity! Choose your favorite color or mix it up for a variation on a theme (Red and White for Where’s Waldo? Rainbow for Wizard of Oz, Blue and White for Israel). Our friends at Oh! Nuts make it easy with a section of their website devoted to browsing candy by color.   Click for more ideas.

This is an example of some of the candies they sell in pink, you can buy a pink candy sampler or buy each one in bulk.

Another idea is to place these flavored Jordan almonds on a plate like they are pebbles and top with their mini hamantashen.  The mini hamantashen are baked on premises and drizzled with chocolate.  They also sell chocolate dipped hamantashen with colored sugar as you can see in the main image so you can match your theme.

    Yellow, that it is an unusual one, but you could do a smiley face theme and find some yellow candies to include.

    Though my favorite color is yellow, it is a little difficult to make it into a shalach manos theme. One year, we made an “apple” them, giving all ingredients to make an apple kugel (with the recipe of course!)

    Like many others, I did an “orange you glad it’s purim” theme a couple of years ago. I used an edible food marker to write those words directly on tangerines, and then added everything else I could think of that was orange — baby carrots, etc.
