We get very few MM, so I'm happy with whatever we do get. I hope people are happy with what we send (real food, meant to be eaten as a quick lunch).

Nothing homemade.
Dairy chocolate is my favorite!

For kids- please don't give candy sprays Sad

I love when my kids get the candy spray type thing. It’s the kind of candy I never buy and they get to enjoy it on Purim. To each their own!

Anything that looks presentable and adult like. Preferably not homemade.
But I absolutely hate getting random nosh, candy and snack bags from adults that look like a child's misloach manos. Even if I like the items inside, I like when it looks like it was made for an adult.

I love receiving soups (even a small amount to eat on Purim, makes a difference) salads, dips to put on the table.

I do not want anything homemade.
Chocolate or dried fruit is nice. I will take wafer rolls too. Anything packaged really. Maybe wine or grape juice. No salad or soup.

I love the salads, dips, soups, and if you want you can send cookies- no one in our house ever says no to the above mentioned. Just please label everything. We don’t want any mistakes or miscommunications.
Im sure all of you out there are iyh going to send beautiful Mishloach Manos.

I'm not a huge fan of homemade but really appetising looking baked goods are ok.(No cream please). I don't really appreciate any cooked food that needs to be reheated to eat. No salad or cut fruit please. I generally don't like food that looks like it has been overly handled.
I really appreciate wine and good chocolate.

I also love the cards where people donated $ in my name to their charities.

I am happy to receive real food. Something breakfasty like coffee and a pastry or a bagel would be very much appreciated. I prefer that over any candy or snacky food. We are empty nesters at this point, so the thrill that receiving packages gave our kids isn't part of this years' festivities. It's still fun to be remembered and to let others know we are thinking of them. We are giving a very small bag with a couple of treats and an explanation of donations we are making this year connected to the situation in Israel.

Real food labeled if yoshon or fleishig/milchig. I try to do the same. I hate the candy. Not having my kids give any this year.

I love getting fresh fruit or veg, and klp chocolate (which I put away for pesach). Also wine and non-perishable items like jam.

Am I the only one who likes to receive a mix? My family isn't so big. If we get more than 2 salads/veggie trays, they aren't getting eaten before they go bad. I also like not have to buy snacks or nosh between purim and pesach. I like having real food to eat during the day but I also want some things that will last a bit longer so there's less baal tashchis
