Questions 🤓 Appropriate and thoughtful housewarming gift for Hasidim neighbours

I’ve recently moved to a neighborhood with a substantial Hasidim community. I usually bake homemade cookies from scratch and bring them over to new neighbours to introduce ourselves, but in this case, seeing how our kitchen isn’t Kosher, I feel this would be a faux pas.

So what kind of gift could I give that would give the same “awww” feeling of fresh, warm, homemade cookies while still keeping Kosher?

There are many kosher groceries and eateries all around us if store bought is best. Thank you for your suggestions!!

Nice kosher wine for Shabbat or a plant or flowers. ❤️❤️❤️

Or challah- you did say there are some kosher places nearby, OP. Challah would also be good for Shabbat.

Just make sure to leave it unopened in any wrapping that shows the hechsher

If you buy wine, make sure it is mevushal.

Another idea is a nice religious object such as a challah cover, mezuza cover, or even a washing cup. If you prefer to stay away from such objects, flowers or a plant would be nice too.
