These Thoughtful Passover Gifts Are Guaranteed To Get You a Repeat Invite to Seder

Getting invited to a Passover Seder is much different than any old dinner party. The intimate evening takes hours of preparation to cook up all the traditional Passover foods (the brisket is slow-cooked for hours!), polish the generations-old ritual objects, and finish all that spring cleaning. In essence, it's one of the most sacred and significant dinners of the year within the Jewish tradition. Given this, the gift you give to your hostess should match that importance!
So, Seder guests, you may find yourself wondering, "What should I give to the host who's about to give me so much?" A hostess gift, that's what! But not just any hostess gift: a Passover gift, and one that's perfectly appropriate for the occasion at that. Most importantly, you'll want to make sure that what you're bringing into your hostess' home is kosher for the holiday. That's true of any Passover wines or Passover desserts, too. Traditionally, no leavened bread is consumed or brought into a Jewish home during Passover—and whether or not you know the degree to which your host family observes, you're better off safe than sorry. In other words, leave the chocolate babka at home!
Ahead, we've curated a list of relevant, on-the-mark Passover hostess gifts. These picks are so delightful, they'll almost make your host forget about their pre-Seder stress. (We said almost.)
