Passover is all about commemorating the freedom of the Israelite slaves back in Ancient Egypt. And while the subject is serious and the actual events detrimental to the Jewish people, the holiday really comes down to two factors: Family and Food! So why not give your hostess something she can use and enjoy for years to come. 

I love these fun (and often silly) gifts for the cook, especially this Matzah apron. Before the reading of the Haggadah, she will surely be smiling as she cooks! And something for the more serious chef, check out these beautiful sedar plates that will surely have a special place on the table each year.

Got Matzah? Apron starting at $18.00.

Just when you thought you’ve seen every Passover gift…this shows up. It sure beats matzo and will make those 8 days of no bread go by so fast. If your dog responds to commands in Hebrew, why shouldn't he have his very own yarmulke and tallis? He’ll being doing his dogly duty by bringing a smile to everyone’s face who has the good fortune of seeing him in his Holiday duds. So why not bring a new Passover tradition to your favorite family’s house this year!

This year, don't forget to throw your dog a bone during Hanukkah–a kosher bone that is. These plush chew toys are rabbi-approved so your pooch can celebrate the eight nights of light along with the rest of the family! When everyone's feasting on latkes and doughnuts, Spot can nosh on his own jelly doughnut. And when everyone's opening gifts of socks, dreidels, and gelt, your dog will really have his day!
