39 Hanukkah Gifts That Are So Perfect You’ll Want Them for Yourself
It’s officially time to start sourcing the best Hanukkah gifts. The holiday begins on a different date each year and lasts eight nights, usually starting in December. In 2023 the first night is Thursday, December 7, and the last is Friday, December 15, which means, well, time’s ticking.
Every family or group has its own approach to choosing gifts; some gift all eight nights, and others save for one big Hanukkah present. And then there’s the idea of gifting traditional Hanukkah-centric presents (menorahs, dreidels, all things blue and white, etc.). But as always, there are no rules when it comes to giving presents—except that they be given with love. Whether you settle on eight inexpensive gifts, choose to do a white elephant family exchange, or buy your hard-to-shop-for friends one item each, it’s truly the thought that counts, now more than ever.
At its core Hanukkah is about celebrating miracles—both big and small—and enjoying time with loved ones. In that spirit, we’ve gathered some of the most joyful gifts for everyone on your list.
If your giftee prefers a gift that gives back, there’s no better time than right now—consider making a donation to the Jewish Federation of North America, which lets you support the local Jewish community in whatever city or state you choose.
