Someone once said, “good things come in small packages.” That’s certainly the case with these delectable confections that are a welcome departure from the usual fare you find in most Mishloach Manot. From exotic chocolate bites to Shabat-themed bundles, these care packages are proof that bigger isn’t always better.

1) Since Purim falls on a Friday, why not send some challah along with your hamantaschen? The Purim Box Royale from Challah Connection also features grape juice, pita chips with hummus, fruit, nuts, various noshes, noisemakers, masks and more. It’s available in three sizes: $48, $88 and $150; www.challahconnection.com.

2) You can also keep Purim and Shabat in mind with this unusual assortment from Wild Pomegranate. This unique box features a Havdala candle with matches, cinnamon sticks and other tempting treats; $18. Or package your own bundle with this crafty kit with enough treats for five boxes, $62, www.wildpomegranate.com.

3) We admit it. We’re chocoholics, which means any of these boxes from Max Brenner are the kind of Mishloach Manot we wouldn’t mind receiving. Choose from:

Ecaudaorian cocoa bits, $11.50
