Why Buy Kosher Gifts?

Kosher Products Become Mainstream

“In a surprising turn of events, "kosher" has become the most popular claim on new food products, trouncing "organic" and "no additives or preservatives…”–US News & World Report, January 11, 2008

Buying kosher is a win/win choice
At Kosher Gift Box, we specialize in sending kosher gifts nationwide, and we see first hand who is buying kosher and why. Everyday we pack up more kosher gift baskets for an increasing variety of customers. Not only are kosher food sales growing nationally by about 15 percent each year, but new and delicious products are hitting the market in droves. During 2007, more than 4,700 new products hit the grocery shelves, according to Mintel, a Chicago-based market research firm.

Kosher products are for everyone.
More and more, consumers are learning that kosher foods are more closely monitored during production to make sure specific food handling rules are followed, that no cross contamination is allowed (meaning only what’s on the label is in the product) and that Jewish dietary laws are followed, like milk and meat products may not be combined. Labels include all ingredients, which is especially important for vegetarians, lactose-intolerant consumers, or anyone with food allergies or sensitivities. In fact, Jewish consumers make up only 20 percent of the estimated 10 million Americans who buy kosher.

Kosher food gifts are popular.
There are endless reasons to send gifts of food, and about as many to reasons to choose kosher gifts. Whether you need to send a gift for a holiday, a celebration or as an expression of sympathy, the kosher gift basket is appropriate.

“Everything we put into our kosher gift baskets is of the highest quality, delicious and beautifully presented,” says Jane Moritz, owner of Kosher Gift Box. “If you’re sending a kosher gift for a religious reason, you can be sure that your recipient can share everything with friends or family who may follow Jewish dietary laws. If you’re sending a gift to people you don’t know well, they’ll notice you took the time to consider more than one type of diet. A basket filled with kosher gifts is always appreciated by vegetarians, as well as those with food allergies or sensitivities because ingredient labeling is clear and complete.”

Choosing a kosher gift covers all bases. For those who prefer kosher, it’s truly welcomed and your thoughtfulness and consideration appreciated. If you’re unsure of your recipients’ preferences, you can be sure your kosher gift items look and taste as delicious as non-kosher items.
