What did you get that was either the most original, interesting or classy Mishloach Manos this year?

The most original were the ones that had such good stuff in it, it didn’t last a minute before it was eaten. I can’t stand those professional ones that are glue-gunned to the core, you can’t even begin to attack it.

My favorite this year was from my very good friend - The most delicious Blintzes and Ice-Coffee. Loved it!!!

The best MM I received was from my MIL. She put in foods that I like and made such delicious whole-wheat hamantashen!

Themes are cute, but don't necessarily consist of such good food. I'm more interested in receiving something good than getting something with a poem and food items that are somehow linked together.

My grandmother was the cutest. She made cucumber salad (hand sliced with love) to all her married einiklach!

A 4 section container with different fresh vegetables and a small container of dip. Perfect to eat in the car instead of all the Junk!

My daughter was a boy and my son was a girl, so I bought pink & blue bags and just filled it up with cake that I baked and just some nosh. Nothing much. The cutest thing about switching them was because everyone thought my son was really a girl.

Jarred sauce and dry spice mixture native to the country that the person is from – South Africa!

Oh! Another one - Their kids were Mickey & Minnie Mouse & they put a bottle of wine (I don't think there's any connection), a gouda cheese that they covered the label with their own that had Mickey & Minnie on, one of those huge colorful lollipops that has Mickey & Minnie on the wrapper.

no one is really into themes where I live...I appreciated the ones with good food (mangos, nuts, milk chocolate cappuchino fingers) one guy always delivers early in the day some breakfasty type things - pareve pudding for us, which is nice to have.

I got some nice containers though. A cute purim themed bucket with lid (the woman who gave it to me is from ny and was just there) and a tin.

Defy can I have the reciope for whole wheat hamantashen?

A family in our area gave out soup and the kids were all dressed as waiters and waitresses. Real restraunt checks were attached to the bags listing the waht the main things in thw soup were and at the total section at the bottom, it said 'Parve'. Very cute.

-Milk & cookies
-Hawaiian theme with dried fruits, berry juice, and seashell shaped chocolates
-"hot" theme with hotwheels car, jalapeno peppers, bbq chips, etc...

But the best one was:
A UPS box (like regular brown box) filled with real popcorn and inside was a deli sandwich, coke, mustard and ketchup packets, pickle, and potato salad. I was so happy to have regular food to eat!

I got a very cute one - but a little elaborate IMO.
It was a salami, 2 rolls, 2 cans coke, a ketchup and mustard bottle, bag of chips.

I gave a beer and a container of nuts. And to some I gave a bottle of Moscato and a tray of strawberries.

When one of dd's classmates came to deliver a mm to her, the mother came up and brought mine: a tuna sandwich with a cup of hot tomato soup-lunch for the mommy who was staying home and preparing for the suedah. Thoughtful and yummy
