Favorite MM we got from two friends - one was homemade caraway seed rolls (yummmm), veg soup and the other was homemade poppy and raspberry hamantashen (my favorite flavors) and fruit.
My baby is BH home from a long hospital stay (since birth) and my house is flying and so yea, I feel I’m barely managing much of the time. For most of our MM we gave a donation in lieu of food—an e-card from Chai Lifeline—or through a local school that does a MM fundraiser. BH I managed to make a hearty vegetable soup to give warm to anyone who came to bring MM so they could have a filling snack as they ran around all day—so often people don’t get to eat real food all day until their seuda—so I wanted to give people something they could eat. Gave it with small packs of melba toast and a clementine. Didn’t have time to label more than a few bags with our name.
The “theme” was that people should have a “souper” Purim lol

Another No Theme person here! To me, most of the themed MM scream High school. I find them a bit juvenile. But to each their own. Most of my people don't do themes but classy and yummy.
The best I got was mazza. Ate it right away.

I was blown away by a MM I got this year from an environmentalist friend:
Home grown & pickled olives in a real cup
Home grown pickled mini lemons
Home grown, herb salt mix in a real salt shaker
Homemade healthy hamentaschen
All in a paper bag (of course)
To me homemade foods are really nice - but foods prepared from what’s grown in your garden is an entirely different level.
And the real dishes were toiveled of course too.

For those of you who got soup, how does that work? How do you get it and is it warm or meant to be warmed up at home?

Just curious why this is considered less judgy on imamother than the theme people who are anti-themeless?

The mitzvah is to give 2 items to one person. Let's not turn a mitzvah into what society decided means you're managing or not managing. I personally have real issues with the amount of money and time being put into ONE day. I have issues with the amount of food that gets thrown out from this one day. We completely lost sight of what the day is all about.

I think the iced coffee are nice, the good chocolate, jerky & wines. Home baked goods from the people you know well. Anything with those. Its also fun when the presentation is awesome.

Thank you to the person who gave us a packet of dried mango!
I LOVE dried fruit.
I can eat it, it's sweet and sticky and chewy, and I can trick myself into thinking I'm eating something healthy, because after all, it's fruit 
I ate the whole packet over the course of Purim.

A single muffin, tastefully wrapped in a pretty envelope containing a generous Amazon voucher.

Here in Israel, we had so many food drives for closed packages or leftovers the day after. Bh lots of things have been repurposed.

Dried mango doesn't usually have added sugar. Isn't it healthy?

The best we got was homemade sorbet in four different colors with fresh diced fruit in each, beautifully presented in jars that were set up in a a small wooden crate. When I complimented the giver, she said, "Oh, it was so easy!"
