Handmade Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) Party Favors

Rosh Hashanah is the New Year as celebrated by our Jewish neighbors, so your homemade party favors will be much appreciated and admired. Honey is traditionally given as one of the celebrated foods of this holiday. You don’t have to make your own from your own bees, but you can create fabulous gift baskets using honey as the main attraction. You can include honey sticks, honey beans, honey candy, and attractive jars of honey within the baskets. Also fill them with traditional Judaic gifts like candles, a shofar, and other foods of the holiday, like challah bread. Include pomegranates and apples, as well.

Hanging dradles from streamers could be another phase of your homemade party favors project. The streamers will traditionally be blue and white, and dradles can be attached to each of them with white thread. The kids can choose the dradle they want to play with later, by pulling it off the ceiling, where the streamers are attached. More blue streamers can hang from the ceilings to enhance the festive feel of this Rosh Hashanah party. And don’t forget the balloons.

Your handmade party favors can also include balloons. Blue and white ones would be perfect. You can also include gold to add to the class of the party. If they are anchored by a weighted dradle, or even just a fabulous bouquet of colorful flowers, the message of Happy New Year is recognized.

Your guests will love the idea that you took the time to make homemade party favors from the heart.
