Where: Norwood Mall Centre Court, Sarie Marais Street, Norwood Contact them on (011) 728 6640 for the latest market dates. The Nut Lady Dried fruit, nuts and nougat always make great gifts, especially when they’re put together so exquisitely and beautifully wrapped! Visit The Nut Lady to pick out the perfect Yom Tov gift. And don’t worry, if you don’t find what you’re looking for on their shelves, they can create custom hampers and gifts to suit your unique needs – talk about service! For more information, click here. Net Florist Joburgers are notoriously busy, which means that not all of us have time to run to the shops to pick out gifts in time for the holidays – and that’s where NetFlorist comes in. You can order your present online! Whether you want to arrive with a Le Cruset honey pot or a pre-packaged jar of kosher nougat, simply click through to the Rosh Hashanah section on their website and browse away!

Selwyn Segal Selwyn Segal is an inspiring organisation that cares for intellectually disabled people by providing accommodation, therapy and stimulation for 113 residents. They also offer various services to daily visitors to their daycare centre. The organisation has its own gift shop, where you can find food hampers that’ll wow your hosts. Gifts from the Selwyn Segal store can also be purchased online, which saves you plenty of time during that pre-Rosh Hashanah rush. How about a combo of wine, chocolate and biscuits? Sounds pretty good to us. An alternative gift would be to make a donation to the Selwyn Segal in someone’s name — you can make a donation by clicking going on their website.
