Rosh Hashanah (sometimes known as Jewish New Year) is fast approaching. The holiday falls between the 9th and 11th of September in 2018 and now is the time to make plans if you want to do something extra special for the high holiday. If you can’t be with your loved ones in person in time for the festivities you can still surprise with some of the best Rosh Hashanah gifts delivered in time for the start of the holidays.
Rosh Hashanah surprises don’t need to be big or spectacular, with simple pleasures such as apples, pomegranates, honey and other sweet treats being amongst the favourite gifts to enjoy during the holy days. Just in case you’re stuck looking for ideas however, here are a few of the best suggestions for Rosh Hashanah gifts that will say “Shanah Tova!” (or Happy New Year) to your friends and family beautifully.
Gift Baskets
Rosh Hashanah is a time of enjoying the bounty of nature and a gift basket allows you to easily express your wishes of prosperity and joy for the new year. Perhaps you want to make it a traditional basket for the holiday full of tasty traditional sweet treats or perhaps you want to indulge your special someone with a gourmet selection of treats. Gift baskets are a versatile gift to share with your family as well as one that’s also super easy to make at home.
Flowers
A bouquet is a spectacular gift at any time of the year and Rosh Hashanah is certainly no exception. White flowers, such as roses, carnations, lilies and alstroemerias or orchids are often popular for decor as they pair well with the other white decorations such as the table cloth, napkins and often clothes too.
Wine
Wine is a gift you can always rely on in a pinch. A fine wine or Kosher wine for the table for Rosh Hashanah dinner is a treat that is always appreciated.
Calendars
As Rosh Hashanah is indeed the start of a new year in the Jewish calendar, a calendar itself is an ideal gift. Many Jewish calendars that you can give as gifts are beautifully decorated and also mark notable secular holidays as well as the high holy days of Judaism, making it a practical and attractive present all round.
Shofars
It isn’t Rosh Hashanah without a Shofar. This historic musical horn (made from a ram’s horn) is symbolically signals the start of the festivities. This is a uniquely special but ideal gift for a traditionalist during the high holidays.
Rosh Hashanah gifts don’t have to be big and flashy to impress. Family plays a key role in the celebrations. Just sharing something meaningful, either in person or by delivery, can go far to making September 9th to 11th this year extra special.
