Hanukkah is just around the corner.
To ensure you’re well-prepared to fete those near and dear during the Festival of Lights, we’ve gathered some creative gift ideas to elevate the usual small trinkets like gelt (chocolate coins) or gift cards to something a little more unique.
Making sure what they open on those eight days and nights is extra special this year.
After a hectic fall, this great little Hanukkah gift for a neighbour, teacher or coach will encourage them to take a moment for themselves. Colouring (even for adults!) has been proven to have a therapeutic effect to reduce stress and increase mindfulness. This one is especially intricate and beyond its zen-inducing qualities, it has a sense of humour with fun pages like Love, Peace and Latke Grease.
This sweet story takes children on an adventure to seek latkes on the first night of Hanukkah with an adorable bear character. Along the way, children learn more about the magic and meaning of Hanukkah in a gentle and reassuring way. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award.
This hilarious but sneaky solution to the “ugly sweater” party is for everyone who hates spending the night overheating in a bulky wool sweater. Look closer—it’s actually a T-shirt material! Great for that person who’s never cold, even in winter.
Give a truly personalized gift on the last night of Hanukkah by having their name handcrafted in Hebrew on a necklace that celebrates their Jewish heritage. These dainty pieces are available in sterling silver and gold plated versions that they can enjoy wearing the whole year.
