Zingermans is the only answer, but good luck getting anything shipped that is under $25 including shipping - your budget is inappropriate


Agree the budget is too low.


For people in your tax bracket. Our family had friends and relatives across a range of tax brackets. I had someone give me a $14 wedding present because that’s about their discretionary budget for an entire month. You have no idea. Simply no idea.

I think this is the winner. In budget, diabetic-friendly, and meaningful.

Thanks for all the helpful answers.


Not too obviously, “You’re Jewish so I’m getting you this Jewish thing.”

Under $25, shipped
From a small business
Edible
Not too sugary ( they were prediabetic years ago and made huge lifestyle changes, so this is not firm.)
Kosher-friendly (They don’t keep kosher, but I could see that they might not want bacon-flavored chips, etc. Doesn’t need to be certified kosher. )
Not too obviously, “You’re Jewish so I’m getting you this Jewish thing.”
Not just a gift card.


Just a nice, small gift for a friend who is having big feelings.


Fruits, flowers and throw blankets with a kind message are always a safe bet and well received by people of all and no religion.

The budget is fine for a small surprise. Doesn't sound like the OP is proposing a $25 budget for a birthday or wedding present. It's meant to be a small treat.
