Girl gone wild

You can thank your lucky Jewish star for Rachel Perdue. The owner of Wild Pomegranate makes shopping for Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Purim, Passover, Thanksgiving, weddings, and any festive occasion as easy as a mouse click. The Brookline resident started her business last year and travels the world looking for food and other gifts which meet her rigorous standards of good taste, design, and authenticity. With Hanukkah only three weeks away, Perdue offers a selection of items including the Parve Hostess Gift (made without milk or meat) featuring chocolate-dipped figs and nuts ($36). The Cookie Making Party comes with a wheat- and dairy-free sugar-cookie mix, cookie cutters, frosting, and toppings ($26). Order by phone at 617-365-6767 or online at wildpomegranate.com.
