I am a chassidish Satmar woman. I wish to get my MO neighbor a gift.
We have different tastes. our house is decorated differently, we dress differently, our shabbos table looks differently. etc,
So I'm not sure if what I think is pretty and useful is also 'pretty' and 'useful' in her opinion..
They are an amazing and very professional couple. Both are lawyers. I want to spend about $100. Or even $200. Any ideas?

I was thinking along these ideas, which I would love to have on my yomtov table.

If you've been in her house and you know what her taste is, pick a honey dish that's most compatible with that

Is the gift meant for the couple and family or is it more of a gift for the wife?

I ask because choices might be different.

At any rate, I found this site when I was looking for some art glass for my own home - and I have been eying some stuff as well for gifts.

Here is the link for their home decor objects. They are all one of a kind or at least hand made by artisans in their fields and different materials are used.

I used to love visiting high end crafts stores to get one of a kind stuff as gifts and for myself and this is like 100 shops all in one place.

Some of the jewelry is also gorgeous for anyone who favors unusual pieces

She probably has a honey dish. I’d sooner send a beautiful huge bouquet for Shabbos or Yom Tov, or a gift certificate.

So nice of you to think of your neighbors.

With any gift, make sure the recipient appreciates these things before giving it. I would not, as we have no space and this is the kind of clutter I do not want and can not store. Something they can consume may be a good way to go as another option.

I think I'll go with this option.

Thanks so much everyone for your time and opinions!

Yes - really unusual beautiful stuff - I think something for many different tastes and I think that since you are buying from individual artisans you can ask them if they can do something custom in their style. I had emailed the website and they said I could contact the individual artisan.
