  1. Biscuiteers Rosh Hashanah cookies and tin:
    How cute are these! Not only is there a collection of vanilla, chocolate and ginger flavoured biscuits iced with new year’s greetings, apples, honey and shofarim, but they turn up in a beautiful tin. At £45 a pop, they're not cheap but they do deliver, and are definitely worth the calories. Find them and a whole range of the cutest baked goods at biscuiteers.com


  2. Jars Vuelta hand made cake plate
    You can never get too many cake plates and platters. Round ones are easy to find, but a rectangle - perfect for that loaf-shaped honey cake - not so much. This beauty is hand made in the South of France and you can even stick it in the dish washer! £40, Borough Kitchen www.boroughkitchen.com  
  3. London Honey single origin honey gift set:
    I'm a huge fan of the London Honey Company. Their honey really is so much better than the supermarket version. It actually tastes like bees made it and not like a sugar syrup. This gift box is not only gorgeous but will get the lucky recipient's year off to a sweet start. This box is £32 and you'll find it and other honey-related gifts (that include bottles of honey mead, bees wax candles and even an introductory course on bee keeping) at the thelondonhoneycompany.com


     
  4. Dalton Anna dessert wine:
    I was lucky enough to taste (and fall in love with) this superb, kosher, sweet and sticky, liqueur Muscat wine when I was in Israel recently. Owner Alex Haruni, made it to celebrate his mother's special birthday. Her image is on the bottle, and the very feminine packaging (which looks like a perfume bottle) will delight any recipient. Details from Dalton's web site (they also do a fabulous range of fine wines that would be welcomed by any host) and contact Kedem for UK stockists.   

     
  5. Chocolate and dried fruit platter: 
    Who doesn't love a plate of chocs? Chocolate fantasies have gifts ranging from simple platters like the one below (dried fruits, chocolates and chocolate-dipped dried fruits) for £20 to mammoth affairs for several hundred pounds. It's all kosher and would make fabulous table centrepieces. More info from chocolatefantasies  
    Shana tova - happy giving and receiving.
