Best to ship to a different name using a different ID for customs, so you can order it all on the same day.

You've probably stumbled across this blog post because you love Israel, and I'm so glad you're here! Welcome to my little blog/website!

UPDATED: Buy Blue & White from Overseas (with the convenience of Amazon)
This post contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, at NO additional cost to you! Thanks for your support!
This is an UPDATED post for my friends and followers and everyone outside of Israel, who love Israel and want to support the people here, i.e. "Buy Blue & White".
If you're here in Israel looking at an item on Amazon that DOESN'T ship to Israel - I've got great news for you! You can order items to a Shipito address and have them ship it to you! And just in time for your upcoming Prime Day purchases, you can get 10% off your international shipping when you shop on Amazon and send your purchases using Shipito. Just enter the code PRIMEDAY24 at checkout. This limited-time offer runs until July 31, 2024.
It's become SUPER easy to support some Israeli businesses from outside of Israel! So I'd like to help everyone stand in solidarity with Israel with this "Buy Blue & White" guide.
So many companies make it easy to buy their products from the USA - especially those with Amazon storefronts (and many ship to other countries too)!
I'm happy to share some options with you - all of the items listed below are a great way to support an Israeli-owned business and still have the convenience of shopping online! I'm sure there are lots more options, but in the meantime - here are the ones that I know of:
(I hope to keep adding to this list)
Buy Israeli wines (free shipping on 12 or more bottles and $15 off your $200 order with code KW15)
Many Israeli products - art, jewelry, etc - are available at judaica.com (use the link to begin your purchase AND use code SHOP10 for an extra discount)
You can make your own seltzer (carbonated water) using the iconic Sodastream machine.
Or buy beautiful Judaica items, like an Emanuel mezuzah case or chanukiyah, or even a great Havdallah travel set! Also from Emmanuel: Chanukah Kippot, Jerusalem Kippot, painted wooden kiddush cup and coaster, "Yeled Tov/Yaldah Tovah" hammered stainless steel kiddush cups, hammered nickel kiddush cups, and colorful candlesticks.
Buy beautiful jewelry from Paz Creations. Also NanoStyle and Happy Lolli.
Check out Moraz, an Israeli plant-based skin product company.
Refael Jewelry Designer sells handmade jewelry from Israel.
Also check out embroidered jewelry boxes.
Nurture your plants with a LeGrow planter set.
Display your love of Israel with these Jerusalem-themed ArtTrivets.
Display beautiful Israel on your wall with an Israel Photo Art Calendar!
Decorate your home with beautiful wooden Wall Art from Tohar Design Store, or a fun Chanukah table runner, or a painted washing cup.
If you love music, check out Day of Rest for something different.
Buy Israeli spices from Izrael Zaatar Ltd and bring the flavor of the shuk into your kitchen (BBQ Grill mix, Galilee Stir Fry Seasoning mix).
Try out Israeli herbal/fruit teas: Golan blend or Louisina make great choices.
Get your kids moving and exploring with Israeli-owned Nona Kid pretend play, outdoor play, and fitness equipment for kids.
Check out the whole line of Qurious educational toys and games.
You can even support an Israeli business when you buy non-Israeli products from an Israeli reseller. They buy items wholesale and list them for competitive prices on Amazon. For example, handbags from BSD Merchant.
And, on another note, you can always support Israeli businesses directly: For an interactive Israel-themed online escape room experience, be sure to check out the games at bagelsandlocks.com!

IMPORTANT RESOURCE! Emun HaTzibbur
I'd like to share a super important resource today: Emun Hatzibur.
This is a non-profit EVERY oleh/olah should know about!
They're here to help you, as a consumer, get what you paid for/deserve.
If you're having a problem with consumer's rights, this is the first place to turn!
Yes, before you call a lawyer, file a complaint with Emun Hatzibur.
Click HERE to go the Emun Hatzibur website (in English) and read more about this important organization.
To file a consumer complaint, fill out the form you find at this link: https://www.emun.org/%d7%9e%d7%95%d7%a7%d7%93-%d7%aa%d7%9c%d7%95%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%aa/%d7%94%d7%92%d7%a9%d7%aa-%d7%aa%d7%9c%d7%95%d7%a0%d7%94/ (it's in Hebrew) - I believe that if you write in English they will still get back to you!
So next time you're having trouble as a consumer, you know you have someone to turn to for help!
Hope this helps someone out there.

Skirts for good prices
This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission, but it will never be at an additional cost to you!
SKIRTS!
Skirt wearers, you know how it goes - we all need a bunch of comfy, basic skirts that are versatile, classic, and easy to deal with.
I've found that sometimes the Amazon 3-pack deals are the PERFECT solution! Just choose the right size and you're good to go with 3 skirts in different colors!
Here are some of the options I found with free shipping (although sometimes free shipping is limited to a certain size, so be sure to check carefully before you order):
3-pack Knee Length Casual Elastic Waist Modest Flared Skirts - I checked out the black, dark grey, and purple pack and it has free shipping. I didn't check all the colors.
3-Pack Long Skirts for Women Fall Stretchy Flowy Maxi Skirt - I found a few color combinations that qualify for free shipping, including the Black, Teal, and Wine combo
3-Pack Women's 20" Golf Skirts Knee Length Skorts with Pockets - for most people, these are probably a little above the knee. But if you're under 5-ft tall (I know some who are!) these may even be true knee length!
3-Pack Women's Knee Length Midi Skirts, Flowy Flared High Waisted A-Line Casual Drawstring Summer Skirts, with Pockets - yup, POCKETS! Need I say more?
3-Pack Women's Maxi Long Skirts with Pockets, A-Line Ankle Length - Also POCKETS!!
Hope this helps someone out there!

Exclusive Discount!
This post contains affiliate links. If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!
If you want to support Israeli businesses, I thought this would be a good time to remind you about this local online English bookstore - Eva's Used Books!
Eva's got a great selection of previously owned books in good condition, albeit in limited quantities, and it's definitely worth checking out her shop if you need books. Plus you'll be supporting an olim-owned business, which is always appreciated and so important! We're all here in this aliyah journey together!
Besides being necessary for self-preservation, books make great gifts, too. AND another thing I love is that Eva's is all about sustainability - used books are good for the environment and for our wallets!
This month, August, is Historical Fiction Month at Eva's - get 20% off your purchase of historical fiction! Click here to go to the Historical Fiction Shelf
And on top of the already great prices on this site, I've got an exclusive discount to share: Get 10% off your order with code KOSHERFRUGAL (A little gift to you from me and Eva)! 😀
As far as shipping goes - orders over 150 NIS ship FREE within Israel! This could just change our lives - because I still CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT BOOKS (yes I have the mug!).
If Eva's doesn't have what you want, be sure to check out Blackwell's for free shipping!
Happy reading!
If you're not in Israel, but want to buy books and support Israelis at the same time, check out my list of Israeli authors you can buy on Amazon! They will all appreciate your patronage!
