Apprpriate hostess gifts

[PinkandGreenJ]

wine or a gift suited to their interests are best.

dessert usually is a great idea, but i wouldn't unless i knew whether or not they kept kosher. kosher is not just no pork/shellfish. its also no meat with dairy. some people are hardcore and won't even have dairy dessert if they had a meat meal. desserts are usually dairy in some fashion or may even have treif (non-kosher) gelatin.

i usually do nice guest soaps from l'ocitaine (sp?) or those bendel ones from B&BW, a gift suited to their interest or wine if i have no clue.

oh yeah, all wine is kosher. if you want "kosher" wine though, golan and herzog are decent. NO MANISCHEVITZ (sp?) it is awful.

Manischewitz isn't a wine, it's a Jewish joke. Please keep that in mind.

exactly! klp- have you tried the golan stuff? its actually really good.

Probably, but I just can't recall at the moment. When I was in Israel, we went to a wine factory right outside of Jerusalem and they had incredible wines there, and some of the strongest vodka that I have ever tasted.
