I'll start. My nieces and nephews sent me a big, beautiful dried fruit and nut platter that is Kosher Le Pesach. Its not the kind of this I would spend $ on for myself, but I can already see it at the end of the seder meal with tea.

That sounds really thoughtful and delicious. I got mostly nosh type foods this year. I like getting the homemade challah from a few friends. But the cutest thing is how my kids were so happy to eat what was in the baskets they got. Mommy look I got an apple, crackers,tuna,and grape juice!!!!

Two: one sent a prepackaged salad with lettuce tomato, small package of nish Nosh salad dressing and a small package of dressing and a fork. Was my breakfast in the car. Also, someone I know well baked super yummy carrot muffins. Was divine

A can of beer and some pretzels. I love beer, but it is not something I would go out and buy for myself. So this was a special treat for me.

Also, a few bagels and a package of lox, which DH and I enjoyed having for an early lunch, before all our guests arrived for the late afternoon seudah.

Someone put together a really thoughtful ‘keto’ mishloach manot for me. I don’t eat everything included, but it MADE my day! MADE IT!

Had a few favorites, but appreciated everything it's the thought that counts. One was artisan loaf with container of cream cheese & package of lox, another was sourdough bread with homemade soup in a mason jar that I had while it was still hot.

Homemade little rolls that were fresh and delicious. I dipped them right into some of my own homemade humus and I was in heaven.

I also enjoyed some parve chocolate coffee beans. I'd forgotten about those - they brought back memories.

Definitely the Homemade Babka (no label) that I enjoyed way too many "thin" slices of, straight out of the microwave.

We got two sushi mishlochei manot, which were great!
Also a great variation of Qadayif OMG delicious. Oh and one with small slices of amazing cheeses and smoked salmon. Pancakes and home made truffles and marangue. And a kugel. Ok lots of good stuf.

My favorite were those that came with envelopes with thank you cards and Purim gelt 😊 but aside from the hakarat hatov ones and the chocolate my all time favorite , I like the ones that come around lunch time with a real meal I.e. someone sent over a soup /crackers, salad /dressing , Kugels , .

Mini babkas from a store called the Rolling Pin in Lakewood.
I don't eat homemade foods- I'm very picky, and if I'm going to be blowing a few hundred calories it better be with it. I know this brand makes delicious, worth every calorie food, so I ate it after Megillah, in the time when I was so busy but also so hungry and lightheaded that I needed something to tide me over. Mini babka and a glass of milk did the trick!

We loved the cut veggies and hummus mm so much that we started giving our own. It was so nice to have something to EAT on Purim!
