When Purim falls on a Thursday or Friday, anyone loves a little Shabbos prep help. Enter these mishloach manos. They can be enjoyed Purim day or saved to enhance your recipient’s Shabbos.
Wouldn’t it be nice to receive a mishloach manos that is perfect and helpful with the Shabbos prep? Something to set aside, as is, to be pulled out on Friday night or Shabbos day?
We thought so too.
So we came up with three great Shabbos themed ideas:
Flowers for Shabbos
2) Dips for Shabbos
Prepare (or buy) your favorite dips. Divide them into pretty containers. We used these with the white lids, we loved how they came with a coordinating sticker so you can label your dip. We paired it with a wooden spoon, like this one here and a challah roll.
As a second option,we found these pictured here, also good, and a bit cheaper (They are no longer available).
For the pretty and totally customizable labels look here.
3) Pitzuchim and beer for Friday night or Shabbos afternoon
Can you think of anyone who wouldn’t love something like this? We loved how this version can be prepared a while in advance, no question about that.
Use these pretty bags here (they come in different sizes so make sure to order one that suits your needs. The ones pictured here are 3.5 x 5.5 and we found them to be on the smallish size). Add a beer of your choice, a tag (see here), and voila, done and done.
4) Charcuterie board for your Shabbos day meal
Now, that is really cute. Don’t you agree? We used cedar grilling planks that are inexpensive and give the look of a charcuterie board, nonetheless.
We included two versions:
The basic version: which includes salami, beef jerky, crackers, and an individually wrapped dill pickle
The elegant version: this one might need to be shrink-wrapped. It includes loose almonds, dried apricots, dried ginger, some pocket size maldon sea salt flakes , loose beef jerky, crackers, and some notoriously delicious Mary’s Gone Crackers.
Both versions have our pretty and totally customizable labels. Get the look here.
Love these ideas! What is the best way to package the “Pitzuchim and beer”?
I had the same question! Any ideas for the beer and pitzuchim?
You can try wrapping it in a cloth look (like in the image, that cloth) like a muslin with the bottle sticking out on top. Tie with a ribbon. Or a basket always works well.
Ask your LOR but mine told me dips sith challah would not be considered 2 מינים. Here you show olives so that would probably work. The dips are meant to be eaten with challah.
How would you consider packaging the dips and challah?
where would I find the Lables for the Challa please
you can try https://labeledlabels.com they have many options or you can customize your own
Refreshing this, as it applies this year with Purim on Friday… How would you package the flowers plus food?
Does anyone have any idea how to wrap up israeli pickles to put into a mishloach manos? I don’t want to give a whole can to each person…
Hi! Thanks for the great ideas! I ordered the bags for the pitzuchim, is there a way I can fill it without ripping off the top? I see on your pictures that you managed to do it, just wondering how??
CS, if you figure this one out please let us know! I’ve been wondering the same thing!
Bump – Purim is on Friday again! Do you have any ideas for packaging for a Challah mishloach manos?
Thank you- love the ideas!
Hi, any suggestions for dips that don’t need to be refrigerated? Would love to prepare a day in advance with sour dough and shrink wrap- and don’t have place in fridge for all of the mm. I was thinking of olive oil with some herbs… any recipe or other ideas for dips that can be out of fridge for 24-48 hrs?
