Holiday gift ideas for someone who's Jewish?

I'm making small gift baskets for my coworkers with desserts in them for the holidays. One of my coworkers is Jewish. I don't want him to feel left out but I don't know what to get him since a) he doesn't celebrate Christmas and b) I don't cook according to Kosher tradition. When we have holiday parties, he comes but doesn't really participate because of kosher law. Does anyone have an idea of what I can get him so he doesn't feel left out on purpose?

Get him a bunch of thin taper candles, so then he can use 'em at Haunnaka.
Reply:Just in case anyone is still researching this idea. You can go here

Reply:Most supermarkets have a Kosher section. Maybe you can go there and find some non-perishable items such as crackers, cookies, etc. The Kosher section is small and may be hard to locate. Ask the customer service people to direct you to that area.



Good luck!

has a great crystal dreidel

but i assume that's a little over the top

maybe you can find one a little less expensive somewhere else?
Reply:There are many websites for kosher candies and cookies. If he is ultra Conservative, find a box of Hanukkah candles at a bookstore or supermarket, a toy top called a dreidle, and a book of some Hanukkah stories or cookie cutters in star shapes or candle shapes can all go into a Hanukkah gift basket. You could even pack a basket with ribbons in blue and silver and tape and Hanukkah papers for him to pack his own gifts to his family. A sort of gift wrap basket.

Its nice to see that you would include him in your plans, just remember that Hanukkah comes at a different time than Christmas, and plan accordingly.



Cookies are only Kosher if they have a K or a U in a circle on the box. Regular cookies are not Kosher if they have been baked on pans not cleaned with Kosher soap. No orthodox Jew would take the chance of ingesting something he was unsure about.

If you do buy him something edible from the store leave the package unopened.
Reply:Give him a small assortment of blue and white candles or some potpourri.
Reply:Go to a specialty or gourmet foods store and buy a bag of candy- coated almonds, a big piece of angel food cake, an orange and/or banana and a kosher candy bar. Kosher items have a U or K written near the ingredients on the labels. Ask the clerks for help. He will enjoy your thoughtfulness.
Reply:Go to wal-mart and buy a box of matza (its cheap) put some cheese on it for him/her ^_^ Just dont buy wine, thats bad :P

If this person is orthodox that means there is a jewish community near by, if you want to go out of your way thoes places always have a judica store with hunkkah stuff
Reply:A small box of kosher candies would be nice... or some food product from Israel, we export some nice things from here.....
Reply:Just leave him alone. He doesn't want to participate. Don't force your holiday on other people.
Reply:How about a jar of kosher pickles.
Reply:How about something that's not related if you know nothing about their religon. So how about, a card or something.
Reply:Make him cookies that in shape of a Jewish Star!



I am Jewish ! Cookies are Kosher!
