So the rebbetzin told me last year they got over 100 bottles of wine. We're not talking Concord or Malaga wine either, for the most part.

I'd love 100 bottles of good wine. it's not like it spoils. and it's expensive. that's kiddush for over a year!
how about a nice box of chocolates and a wine and just wrap it pretty? or buy them a premade one that looks really nice? it's only one.

You want two years' worth of kiddush wine every year?
Maybe I'll go for premade.

Last year I made mini borekas - brocooli, potato and mushroom. It went over really well with everyone and is super easy to make.
Sarahd - how about a nice gift for the rav instead of a food item? or a gift with a small food item incorporated so it can officially be shalach manos?

Sounds yum except I don't know about onion rolls with honey or jam- to me they just don't go together. Maybe plain rolls, or whole wheat, etc. Or put in the onion roll & cheese and add a pat of butter or some cream cheese or other type of spread instead.

Yeah I was thinking that...so maybe will either make plain rolls or put CC in small containers and give that along with those mini butters. Depending on how big they are and how much time I have, maybe one of each roll and then it's like a meal for 2. Thanks!

Thats why we just give a check to our Rav.

Or a donation to their favorite Tzedaka. I think either of these should be accompanied by at least a basic MM (even small grape juice & danish or candy bar, wrapped nicely) so that it is really mm.

I give a simple mm to our Rov, but include cash. I figure too much food can go to waste, money doesn`t!

I once got a very classy mm in my opinion, in a round silver foil pan a sweet lokshen kugel, decorated with a pinapple slice (from the can) and a cherry in the center with a leaf to the side, pretty, delicious with 2 brochos. and covered with the clear covers.

I know that our rav gets enough wine and grape juice to last until the following year. And because he has a large family and and lots of married children they drink lots of wine over Pesach and Succos its a huge money saver. He is able to return the bottles whose hechsher he does not drink to the local wine store and they let him exchange it.
We include a check as well with the bottle of wine. We figure we use enough of his time, its the least we can do.

Our favorite thing to get in MM is also wine. It's perfect.

This year I'll be making egg rolls (yum) and sending them with bottled iced tea for a nice and easy chinese theme. Any ideas for additional chinese foods?

The lukshen kugel thing: to reiterate -- YOU DO NOT NEED 2 BRACHOS. YOU NEED 2 MINIM.
They can be 2 separate foods of the SAME bracha, and it's halachically valid.
I'm not sure what you got was, though. A garnish of a pineapple slice and a cherry I don't consider "choshuv". You can't give a jelly bean and peanut and be mekayem.
Yet, you only need 1 MM to be mekayem the mitzvah, so chances are they gave something else to a different recipient and it was valid.
This may have been valid, I don't know, but I wouldn't consider it a food item on its own.

Yeah, was thinking that too. The garnish on the kugel is tafel to the kugel and not a seperate min.

We start out seuda pretty early, like at 3:30, so breakfast or brunch would be better than lunch. I'd prefer to receive milchigs. Something for the seuda would be nice, but only if it can feed all our family and guests. Or else a dessert that can supplement whatever we already have.
I like my kids to eat something nutritious in the morning after megilla before all the noshing begins. Or at least I like to, myself.
