Gifts that say “Israel”

The best gifts from Israel are the ones that could only come from here. A hamsa home blessing for the front door, an Israel map pendant or a Jerusalem panorama will remind the person who receives it of the Holy Land every time they see it.

Gifts from Haifa

Haifa, on the slopes of Mount Carmel above the bay, is the largest city in northern Israel and is known for the coexistence of its Jewish and Arab communities. Its landmark is the Bahá’í Gardens, with the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb at its centre – the view on our Shrine of the Báb plate. See all our Haifa souvenirs.

Gift ideas by person

  • For a Jewish friend or family: a Kiddush cup, Shabbat candle holders or a hanukkiah – see Judaica.
  • For a Bahá’í friend: ringstone jewelry or a Shrine of the Báb keepsake – see Bahá’í gifts. (Bahá’ís do not drink alcohol, so skip the wine.)
  • For colleagues or a large family: small hamsas or figurines, which are affordable to buy in numbers.
  • For children: a bright painted hamsa wall hanging for their room.

Food, cosmetics and the rest of your list

Our shop focuses on gifts and keepsakes you can keep for years. For edible souvenirs – halva, tahini, za’atar, dates and coffee – Haifa’s Talpiot Market is in the same neighbourhood as our shop, and Dead Sea cosmetics are sold all over the city. Our guide What to buy in Israel covers all of it, with packing tips.

Questions

Israeli Gifts: frequently asked questions

What is the most popular gift to bring back from Israel?

The hamsa is probably the most recognisable Israeli souvenir, followed by Judaica such as menorahs and Kiddush cups, Jerusalem keepsakes, Dead Sea cosmetics and food gifts like halva, dates and za’atar.

What should I buy in Haifa specifically?

Haifa’s best-known sight is the Bahá’í Gardens and the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb, so a Shrine of the Báb plate or model is a souvenir that could only come from Haifa.

Are your prices in shekels?

Yes – all prices are in Israeli new shekels (₪). Items marked “Price in store” come in several styles, so we price them in the shop.

Can I take Israeli gifts in my hand luggage?

Metal and porcelain pieces travel well in hand luggage if they are wrapped. Liquids such as Dead Sea products, olive oil or honey must follow your airline’s liquid rules, and food may be restricted by your home country’s customs rules.
