Can you post presents for men that connect to the days of the week?
Either the number of the day, or something that connects to the ccreation of the day... ect.

An extra bonus to anyone who can connect a tool box to a day of the week!!!


THANKS

I don't know how big you want the presents to be, but I'm thinking more gimicky than anything big:
Day 1-let there be light-some sort of lamp/flashlight
Day 2-day and night-black and white-checkers or chess game, checkerboard cake
Day 3-a plant
Day 4- stars-you can use glow in the dark stickers even
Day 5-a goldfish or fake fish, could use the sweets that are fish shaped, equally the same for a bird
Day 6-set of toy people
Shabbos-a pillow-day of rest

the tool box can be that 'man was made to toil' and can be linked to day 6

THANKS FOR THE TOOLBOX IDEA!
It's really not a bad connection.

I you think of any more, please send.

It's a mishnah in Pirkei Avot. I dont remember which perek, but it talks about ten thing that were created erev Shabbos, bein ha'shmashot. All things that were not part of regular creation and needed a specific act. I don't remember the full list but it includes the mouth if the earth (that swallowed Korach) and the mouth of the *** (Bilam).

The final thing on the list is, " ... and some say the tongs that were made with tongs." The point is that one needs tongs to hold and twist the metal, therefore the first pair needed a special act of creation. MAN would not have been able to accomplish this by himself. You can see this as specifically referring to tongs, or to a wider interpretation of giving man the ability to work metal.

I just googled it. It is Pirkei Avot 5; 8

עשרה דברים נבראו בערב שבת בין השמשות, ואלו הן: פי הארץ, ופי הבאר, ופי האתון, והקשת, והמן, והמטה, והשמיר, והכתב, והמכתב, והלוחות. ויש אומרים, אף המזיקין, וקבורתו של משה, ואילו של אברהם אבינו. ויש אומרים, אף צבת בצבת עשויה.

Ten things were created at twilight of Shabbat eve. These are: the mouth of the earth [that swallowed Korach]; the mouth of [Miriam's] well; the mouth of [Balaam's] ***; the rainbow; the manna; [Moses'] staff; the shamir; the writing, the inscription and the tablets [of the Ten Commandments]. Some say also the burial place of Moses and the ram of our father Abraham. And some say also the spirits of destruction as well as the original tongs, for tongs are made with tongs.

These are great ideas but day and night is Day 1, not Day 2. (Day 2 was the separation between lower water and upper waters and the sky.)

For day one you can get a camera to take pictures in color and in black and white (playing with light features on the camera).
For day two skydiving.
For day three, you can do a cruise or ride on yacht or boating lessons. or camping trip.
For day four you can do a telescope or anything astronomy related, here are some ideas-- https://www.discovergeek.com/5.....vers/
For day five you can do a safari or swimming with the dolphins.
For day six you can do a fruit basket (for be fruitful and multiply).
For Shabbos you can do a spa or massage certificate to help with relaxation (obviously not on Shabbos lol).

There is a rif on Echad Mi Yodea that uses phrases from Mishna / Gemara. You can see it here: https://www.zemereshet.co.il/song.asp?id=2399

#1 is אֶחָד הַחוֹפֵר בּוֹר שִׁיחַ וּמְעָרָה. (One who digs a pit, a ditch or a cave, from Bava Kama 50b), which ties in nicely with a toolbox.

Unfortunately, it kind of goes downhill from there. I think it's pretty hard to come up with ones for #4, 5, 6...
