I'm traving to EY for Sukkos and will be meeting my very Israeli chareidi nieces and nephews for the first time (dh's family). 9 kids ranging 0-18, mostly boys.

What are ideas of present(s) I can bring them? Small/ lightweight preferred due to luggage space. Need to buy it today so not something that would need to be ordered online.

Thanks!!

Pearl necklaces for all the boys, and jack-knives for all the girls

I assume you mean the other way around Smile

Are you allowed to travel with knives?

I wonder if you are not better off with a nosh/sweet?

I'm not such a sweets eater so I don't have one to recommend.

What about some crafts from a Judaica store? Sukkos themed.

Israel has no shortage of Jewish themed craft supplies, especially around the chagim. There wouldn't be much time to do.them before Sukkot, anyway.

I was trying to be tongue-in-cheek humorous, but I guess I'm too tired right now to make good jokes Smile

I hope you do find exactly what you're looking for!

We have an abundance of Succos items here. Same with Judaica.
I recommend sweets with a good hechsher

Doesn't most candy come from Israel?

It would be like bringing coals to Newcastle

Card games and lego sets. They're much more expensive here

Good quality toys are always a hit and cheaper.
Healthy treats also. In Israel all the treats are high Sugar.

Good quality toys, games - even the really small Playmobil sets are really popular.
For the girls, handbags, jewellery - the current fad is Pandora stuff if you want to spend but cheap stuff is also good.
