The festival of lights! Hanukkah begins the evening of December 18 this year, its last day falling on December 26, overlapping with Christmas. The timing is perfect for feeling fully festive!

A few are specifically Hanukkah-related, but some are just awesome gifts — period. Prices range from under $20 to over $200. Hanukkah sameach and happy shopping!

This Chocolate Advent Calendar

We wanted to list this idea first, as you’ll need to gift it on the very first night of Hanukkah, or even before the holiday begins. It’s an advent calendar with a surprise gourmet piece of chocolate for each night — plus one bonus to represent the shamash!

This Gelt-Like Necklace

Gelt is money, but when people think of Hanukkah gelt, they usually think of gold coins. Often they have chocolates inside and are used as currency while playing dreidel, but in this case, we’re going for a fancier approach. We’re talking about a coin pendant necklace!
