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! what a great idea!
My favorite color is blue, but I have never done anything with the color.
My favorite color is green. I haven’t created a color themed basket before, but now I’m inspired!
My fave color purple. Ive never done a color themed basket.
This year I plan on using yellow and purple colors to create gifts for Purim. These are my favorite colors. I have made color themed baskets before, but this year I will incorporate the ideas above.
Green is my favorite color. A colorful basket would be wonderful to help cheer up my friend who just suffered a terrible loss in her family.
I love purple. No, I’ve never done a color themed basket.
My favorite color is red. I have never done a color-themed basket before.
I love it, makes me think of my daughter’s sheer delight last week with a rainbow crayon her friend brought to school, her face lit up when she talked about it, maybe you should include one.
I like this idea Frippie, what I actually like best about a color theme is that it can really be done affordably. I also often do the Mishloach Manot cards through a charity and send to friends near and far and then just make a few.
Oh, you are too sweet. Thinking of ideas is easy, implementing is another story.
I love navy blue. I haven’t made a color themed basket, but it looks like fun!
I’ve done colored gift baskets before, but not for Purim. I’d like to try it in purple.
all and any. I once did a red and black theme. it was beautiful!!!!
My favorite color is green and no I have never done a color themed basket.
My favorite color is blue, and I’ve never made a color themed basket.
My favorite color is purple. I’ve never made a color themed shalch manos. This one looks beautiful.
I love silver, maroon/burgundy, and shades of green! I’m not very clever/creative, so I haven’t made a color-themed basket before (I’ll save that for the professionals 😉
Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite color is lavendar. And I once had a chocolate themed basket (so everything was brown)!
I love midnight blue. I’ve made themed cookie “baskets” for friends and family at Chanukah but for Purim I usually give a pretty plastic plate filled with Purim treats. Of course the recipient keeps the plate .
I love any shade of purple. I’ve never done a basket by color.
I love blue never done a color themed basket before but what an awesome idea.
i am very dissappointed that you don’t check the side-effects of the ingredients you suggest we should use. in a world where we are exposed to so much that is bad for us, in a world where we have so many friends who are getting sicker, we have to be very sensitive in what we put into our bodies, especially what we give to our friends. THIS is not kosher what you are suggesting.
Love the Purim gift basket idea!
My fave color is green! And I’ve never done a gift basket before, but a color theme is a great idea!

Love the creativity. Can’t believe one person can think of so many great ideas!
My favorite color is blue and I haven’t done my own basket but I have bought them 🙂
My favorite color is purple. No, I’ve never done a color-themed mishloach manos for Purim. In fact, I’ve never done a theme at all! On principle, my husband and I have chosen to keep it simple and not get caught up in the craziness of spending and preparing too much for mishloach manos. We make a couple very nice ones to send and are each yotzei the mitzvah. Then, as the chachamim suggest, we have more to give for metanos l’evyonim. We’d rather give to those who are in need, then try to “out do” the neighbors with mishloach manos. No judgement, just a thought to ponder.
My favorite color(s) are pink and purple. I have never done a color themed shaloch manot baskets, but I have done pink gift baskets for breast cancer fundraisers.
My favorite color is RAINBOW (I know that’s not one color, but I just love all the colors when they’re all together- and I am finally using this rainbow theme for shaloch manos this year, by giving out a ‘rainbow’ veggie platter and rainbow hamentashen- I can’t wait.
Light blue is my favorite. I’ve done black and white and there are so many coordinating ideas to use to make it into a beautiful mm.
My favorite color is yellow: Lemony, sunny, happy, bright. And hubby feels very strongly about purple. Hence: iris flowers at our wedding. A colored basket theme is cute. Where I’m from, however, you take a brown paper lunch bag, make designs on it with crayon, throw in an apple or orange and a can of pop, maybe a handful of candy, too, and that’s your shalach manos!
My favorite color is yellow. I have never though of doing a color themed basket, but what a great idea.
my favorite color is navy blue. i have not done a color theme but would like to try this idea this year.
My favorite color is purple, and I’ve never done a color themed basket, but I will now. That’s a great idea!
Love the color themes!
Thanks so much for the chance to win this great product!!!
red! I’ve done black and white.
I love all shades of blue! I have never made a color coordinated basket…. But there is always a first time
My three favorite colors are purple, green and yellow. I’ve never used a color theme.
I love aqua, it would be great to see it in an under the sea type of theme!
my favorite color is lavender. no, never did a color shaloch manos (well, this year will do a “colorful” one for Peppi Longstocking theme)
I love every color, so my vote is rainbow. I have never done a themed basket yet.
