Question
Shalom and blessings!
1. I want to buy a gift for my son's caregiver in honor of Purim, and I have at home a gift that someone once gave me. It is new and I have not used it because it is not useful for me. Am I allowed to give this to the caregiver instead of buying something else? Or is this considered deception (geneivat da'at)?
2. Regarding blessings: I wanted to know what blessing is recited over chocolate filled with halved peanuts. (The chocolate is the main taste and the peanuts are there to add flavor and variety.)
Thank you very much!!!
