  2. Make a shopping list. Make a list of all the items that you will need for the 7-sin table (including any Persian desserts that you will be placing on the table or baking ingredients if you are making your own).
  3. Arrange the haft-sin items. Place the haft-seen items into the serving bowls. For items like require to be refrigerated (such as samanu), include it on the table on the actual day of norooz because it will start to spoil.
