If you’re thinking about your favorite people this Purim, you should buy them a gift basket for mishloach manot and spread the love! There’s nothing nicer than coming home to see a beautiful Purim basket sitting on your kitchen counter. Purim was my favorite holiday when I was a tyke, and it wasn’t just because of the candy. Purim reminds you of who your friends are and it can help you make new friends too! In fact, I met one of my best friends at school when I gave him misloach manot. Giving is a way for us to remember that all Jews are entitled to some tasty food and drink on this holy day.
In these baskets, gourmet goodies are presented with lots of flair, and tons of taste. Wafers and chocolates, hamentashen and wine, flowers and candy all remind us that spring isn’t so far away, and that when it comes you’ll have plenty of friends and family to celebrate with in the warm weather.
You don’t have to splurge, but you can if you want. Eichlers.com has a wide variety of Purim baskets available in all styles and sizes. So go ahead and give on this day of feasting and gladness – besides, it’s a mitzvah!
Holidays are over but this doesn’t mean that shopping season is over too. Oh no. There’s always a Bar Mitzvah, a wedding, a birthday or even just a romantic date that requires some sort of a gift. Of course that a lot of people will just write a check or give a gift card, but what’s fun in that?
Here’s a great gift idea for you – Challah Covers! Yup, a classic and elegant challah cover will make any Jew happy. Hey, who likes a dry challah? Not me! There are many Challah covers available today, heck, there are even designer challah covers.
For example, take a look at the always lovely, Yair Emanuel Challah Covers from our famous Judaica store. Like all of his, the challah covers are hand-made and fashionable and will suite any Shabbat table. The designs are numerous and the products include Hand-Embroidered Challah Covers, Raw Silk Applique'd Challah Covers and Silk Painted Challah Covers.

For the fashion conscious, I recommend a silk designer yarmulke by Yama & Sons, available in tons of unique prints, even paisley! Satin kippot are also very striking and come in a variety of colors, from the memorable fuchsia and turquoise options to the more subdued black, gray, and silver—and everything in between.
I think my personal favorites are the suede embossed yarmulkes, in modern and artistic patterns that exceeded my skullcap expectations. I love the subtle checker pattern, or the two-toned zebra kippot for a look that’s sure to get some attention.
Even children can find excellent kippot from www.Eichers.com. My sons adore the hand painted suede yarmulkes featuring everything from SpongeBob SquarePants to Scooby Doo, in addition to scenes from the Torah like Noah’s ark.
When I’m looking for some right-to-left reading such as Seforim, I can also trust my favorite Judaica store to have to products I’m looking for, all available in elegant hardcover editions that I display prominently at home.
By the way, www.Eichlers.com has some beautiful options if you’re looking to buy a Mezuza. I love the sand blasted products, available in vibrant gold and blue, and well as brown, copper, and silver. The wooden Mezuzot are also very elegant, available in timeless designs in addition to more modern patterns. And plastic Mezuzot are just as diverse—you can get a classic white and gold design, or a marble pattern that looks like the real thing.
