The holidays are approaching, and with them the constant question - what to buy your son or your partner for Rosh Hashanah.
A common custom between spouses is to buy a gift for each other on Rosh Hashanah and Pesach.
The Jewish law also refers to the issue, and in the Shulchan Aruch it is explicitly stated that the husband is obliged to buy a gift for his wife in each of the three rituals.
"A man must be happy and kind-hearted at the time, he and his wife and his sons and all those who accompany him. How does one make one happy? The little ones give them toast and nuts and the women buy them clothes and jewelry according to their means."
(Sho'a Okh 1729, section 2).
Of course, there are the "normal" gifts that are always fun to receive - perfume, jewelry, a book, but we are mainly here to give you original ideas, at a variety of prices, so that you can surprise the couple.

Does your partner like to read books?
You can buy him a
special bookmark
made of silver, or with a personal engraving, that will always remind him of you in these pleasant moments, when you are curled up with a good book.
Especially for caffeine addicts, the Landover chain offers
three festive coffee packs
.
They come in three types, and include coffee, glass cups, a honey jar and a variety of different products.

board games
.
Yes yes, we are serious.
A simple card game or an exciting board game can work wonders in a relationship, bring you closer, and create small moments of pleasure.
Our recommendations - SET game or Wild Speed Jungle.
Prefer to go out of the box?
An original gift that will make you go a little out of your routine is
a couple
's cooking or handicraft workshop.
Even if you have no basis in the subject, and you have two left hands, in the market today you can find workshops at a variety of prices, and you will spend a few guaranteed hours of enjoyment together.

Buying a piece of jewelry for your partner is not out of the ordinary, but to upgrade the matter - you can purchase
an elegant watch
, or invest in a smart watch, which will accompany your partner during the day.
Although this is a relatively expensive expense for a holiday gift, if you are blessed with good spirits and you decide to invest, you will be sure that the other party will appreciate the gesture.

And if we're talking about technological gadgets, you can pamper your partner with a
water -resistant
Bluetooth speaker .
Another suggestion is the LG wireless headphones, which turn any device with an AUX port into a wireless one.
You can take advantage of the unique function to listen to a movie on the plane without being connected to the screen, or to listen to TV while on the treadmill at the gym.
The model comes with a special charging case, which disinfects the headphones and removes about 99.99% of bacteria.

Sometimes all you need is to bring something small that will indicate attention.
Just for such cases, you can order
a luxury package of baked goods
, which you can share together and enjoy.
We recommend a case from the creator of pastry chef Alon Shabo, if you take a look at his page, you will realize that it is two birds with one stone - delicious desserts that look like jewelry.
You can also diversify with a box of special chocolates, and we recommend a box from Ikea.
