Corporate Gifting
Sending gifts to clients, staff or members who keep kosher? Everything that leaves our kitchen is 100% kosher under Chicago Rabbinical Council supervision — so a Shallots gift is welcome in any kosher home or office, with no awkward questions about what's inside.
The Calendar
Corporate gifting in the Jewish calendar isn't one December rush — it's several distinct seasons, each with its own customs and its own lead time.
The Jewish New Year, and the single biggest corporate gifting moment of the year. Gifts traditionally lean sweet — apples and honey for a sweet year ahead. A New Year gift lands far better than a December one for Jewish clients, because it arrives when they're actually celebrating.
The highest-volume gifting day in the Jewish calendar. On Purim there's a mitzvah to send ready-to-eat food gifts — mishloach manot — and companies, shuls, schools and organizations send them by the hundreds. If you send one corporate gift a year to a Jewish list, this is the one that's expected.
Eight nights that overlap the general end-of-year gifting season, so a Chanukah gift does double duty. Traditional foods are fried in oil — latkes and sufganiyot — alongside chocolate gelt and sweets.
Passover brings a wave of hosting, and gifts for the hosts who are feeding a full seder table. Note that Passover has its own stricter certification than year-round kosher, so ask us early about what we can produce for Pesach.
Closing gifts, thank-yous, welcome gifts, employee recognition and milestone celebrations — any time you need something that a kosher-keeping recipient can actually open and enjoy.
When you'd rather let people choose, gift cards scale cleanly across a staff list and never raise a dietary question. Good for large teams and mixed lists. See gift cards →
Why Shallots
The hard part of gifting to a kosher list isn't choosing a gift — it's that most gifts get politely set aside. A basket from a non-certified kitchen can't be eaten by an observant recipient, and asking each person about their standards isn't a conversation anyone wants to have.
Everything we send is prepared in our own cRc-supervised kitchen, the same one that plates dry-aged ribeye and bluefin nigiri in the dining room. It arrives with certification a recipient can recognise, so the gift actually gets opened.
