Those who celebrate the Jewish New Year know that tradition calls for a taste of something sweet — usually apples and honey — to start the year. And apples and honey are all well and good — that is, until you’ve caught a glimpse of something a little more exotic, like the Rosh Hashanah baskets from Manhattan Fruitier. Filled with all sorts of fruity delicacies — mango, feijoa, Chinese saucer peach, kiwi, carambola, finger banana, and cherimoya, to name a few — as well as sweets like chocolate-covered pistachios and cocoa-dusted almonds, the baskets are both kosher and tasty. And, even aside from its contents, the willow hamper itself makes a beautiful gift. Of course, treats like these will set you back a little more than a jar of honey and bag of apples would, but the new year never looked sweeter.

Available for $65–$175 from Manhattan Fruitier, (800) 841-5718, or www.manhattanfruitier.com
