2 years ago I gave a bottle of grape juice and a cupcake, with the following Purim Torah:
When Achashveirosh asked Haman, “what shall be done for the man whom the king wants to honor”? Haman said he shall be given the royal clothing, the royal horse, and the crown. Why three items, and why these 3? Because Haman wanted a theme of malchus, and a theme requires 3 items (hilchos chazakah). However, Achashveirosh gave him the horse and clothing, but not the crown, because Achashveirosh didn’t want there to be a theme. To celebrate the defeat of Haman in this obscure area, we are presenting a 2-item shalach manos, which by definiton cannot have a theme.
