Hostess gift for Seder tonight

[Anonymous]

I am not Jewish, but I used to be married into a Conservative family and am accustomed to a less stringent set of of rules. DH and I were invited to a colleague’s Orthodox Seder. What can I bring as a hostess gift that is strict Kosher for Passover?

[Anonymous]

Flowers.

I have never received a hostess gift at my seder.

What about an orchid? I grew up conservative and would never bring food into an orthodox home.

Then you have crappy guests who lack class.

I think an orchid is a good idea. Definitely no food. Kosher for passover wine would be fine too.

Thank you. I can do flowers for sure, maybe a supermarket orchid if WF has one.

Or people who assumed that they were invited because you are good friends.

Even good friends get a hostess gift at first visit where I’m from.

NP- Yes, hosting is a LOT of work and a huge expense, and tbh lately it feels like nobody wants to do it. It feels really nice when guests acknowledge that effort with a little gift.

Do not do flowers unless you arrive plenty of time before sunset. If they’re orthodox, then they are not allowed to arrange flowers in water after candle lighting, which is before sundown. Kosher wine is a much better option IMO

I saw someone suggest nice dish towels in another forum.

I like those guests. How many little towels or whatever does anyone want? We all need less stuff not more.

At Seder or just on Shabbat?

Are you allowed to open wine?
