Would love to hear examples of original with a nice chap for $2, please post!
One year we dressed as cards, queen of hearts for my wife , queen of diamond for my daughter and king of spades for me. Shaloch Manos was a cellophane bag with cards on it, filled with club soda, heart lollipop, diamond ring pop and a spade shaped cookie and a cute poem about the jack"ace" Haman.
Another year we were Hawaiian themed. My daughter was a flamingo, wife and I were wore Hawaiian themed clothes. Shaloch Manos was a flamingo inflated coaster meant to float a drink in a pool. We put in a can of Hawiaan Punch and home baked Piņa Colada biscotti.
Another year we all wore leopard print and gave out animal crackers and other animal themed snacks in a plastic leopard print derby hat.
Never cost more then $2.00 each!
