The Hebrew term "mishloach manot" literally means "a delivery of portions," and sending them is one of the four mitzvot (commandments) of the holiday of Purim. One sends portions of choice foods to their friends on Purim, often in the form of gift baskets or bags of goodies, to contribute to the Purim seudah, or feast, another of the four mitzvot of the day.
