FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is an appropriate Jewish hostess gift?
Something for the home or table rather than food that has to be served that night: a swivel dip dish, a cutlery holder, a washing cup or a tissue box. Feldart hostess gifts run from $12 to $154.
What is the etiquette for hostess gifts?
Do not expect the gift to be used that night. Bring or send it before Shabbos or Yom Tov, wrap it, and include a short note. If you give food, choose a hechsher your hosts accept.
What is a good hostess gift for Yom Tov?
Match the holiday: a honey dish or simanim tray for Rosh Hashanah, a sukkah decoration or Ushpizin card for Sukkos, and napkin rings or Seder accessories for Pesach.
How much should you spend on a hostess gift?
Most people spend between $25 and $75, depending on how close you are and how many meals you are joining. See our Under $25 and $25 to $50 collections for ideas.
Can I send a hostess gift directly with a message?
Yes. Add a gift message and gift wrapping at checkout, and every order ships with no prices on the packing slip. Sending to several hosts? Use multi-address shipping.
