2. Fruit & Nut Burgundy Tin Tray — a keepsake gift

The Fruit & Nut Burgundy Tin Tray ($68.49) presents 50 oz of dried fruit and nuts in an elegant, reusable burgundy tin. The tin makes it a gift that lasts long after the food is enjoyed — ideal for a host, a client, or a special thank-you.

A meaningful alternative: plant a tree in Israel

If you want to send something lasting rather than food — especially for a shiva, a yahrzeit, or in someone's honor — you can plant a tree in Israel ($18). Each tree comes with a personalized certificate, emailed to you with an optional printed copy mailed to the family.
