Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year—is more than just a holiday. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and set the tone for the year ahead. For companies, it also presents a timely opportunity to express appreciation, strengthen relationships, and offer a thoughtful gesture that aligns with the season.
Whether you're gifting clients, partners, or employees, here’s how to do Rosh Hashanah corporate gifting right—elevated, seasonal, and full of intention.
Why Rosh Hashanah Gifting Matters
Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal and sweetness. In the corporate world, it’s the perfect moment to:
- Thank your clients and partners for a strong year
- Recognize the hard work of your team
- Send a gesture of goodwill timed perfectly before the busyness of Q4
While holiday gifting is often reserved for December, Rosh Hashanah gifts stand out because they’re unexpected—and more personal.
What Makes a Great Rosh Hashanah Gift?
A meaningful gift for Rosh Hashanah taps into the holiday’s themes: sweetness, abundance, and fresh beginnings.
Some popular and symbolic gift components include:
🍯 Honey – A classic staple symbolizing a sweet new year. Think jars of premium wildflower honey, honey stirrers, or honey-infused treats.
🍎 Apples & Pomegranate Flavors – Inspired by the traditional holiday foods. Dried fruit, confections, or products that nod to these flavors feel festive and relevant.
🍷 Kosher Wine or Alternatives – Pomegranate wine or honey mead offer a creative and celebratory twist on tradition.
🕯️ Modern Holiday Decor – Items like Rosh Hashanah-themed tablecloths or minimal honey dishes make elegant, lasting gifts.
🍬 Premium Candies & Snacks – Think chocolate-covered fruits, spiced nuts, or pareve confections that feel indulgent but inclusive.
🧠 Pro tip: Keep it inclusive by avoiding dairy or meat, and opt for kosher-certified when gifting to a diverse recipient base.
When to Send Rosh Hashanah Gifts
Rosh Hashanah 2025 begins at sundown on Monday, September 22nd.

If you're ordering in volume or customizing anything, it's smart to get started by mid August.
Final Thought: Make It Sweet, Make It Thoughtful
Rosh Hashanah gifting doesn’t need to be flashy—it just needs to feel sincere. A small, well-chosen gesture that nods to tradition and quality can go a long way toward making clients and employees feel remembered and appreciated.
