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.

    I love brights and jewel tones. I don’t remember doing a themed shalach manot; my mo is to make a package particular to each recipient. Empty nesters, for example, will receive home-baked challah and a nice bottle of wine, while a family with many young children get a basket of goodies with one of each treat for each child.

    My favorite color changes with my moods – sometimes it’s fire-engine red, sometimes dandelion yellow, sometimes cobalt blue…and, yes, I have done color-themed baskets before, for loved ones. It’s so much fun to see their faces when I work *their* favorite colors together creatively, although now I’m going to have to do that rainbow vase for myself! 🙂

    Silvery champagne and white– those were my wedding colors! I haven’t done one like this yet, but I imagine it would be very sophisticated!! I’d include white wine, and yogurt covered raisins.
