The winter season is filled with feelings of affection and joy, as well as its fair share of holidays! One of the winter holidays being Hanukkah, which lasts for eight days. During Chanukkah, it is customary to give small but thoughtful gifts. Gift-giving can be overwhelming and stressful during the holiday season, as there are endless possibilities. Well, have no fear, a gift guide is here!

#1: Books

Books, overall, are an excellent gift for any age! Anything from romance novels, children’s books, picture books, cookbooks, history books, travel guides, and even journals are appropriate Hanukkah gifts. For children, especially, what a lovely memory it would be to read the book with them after opening the gift. Books are a gift that can be used over and over and passed down for others to enjoy as well.

#2: Dreidel Set

In the spirit of Hanukkah, it would be a traditional gift choice to opt for a dreidel set. Dreidel sets now come in various options, including wood, plastic, colorful assortments, game sets, and even dreidel plush toys. A dreidel set is bound to be a hit with kids and adults alike.

#3: Jewelry

As you may know, jewelry never goes out of style. Women’s jewelry is especially sought after for all celebrations, and Hanukkah is no different! There are so many different styles and pieces of jewelry that there is something for everyone. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, whatever the type of jewelry, it is sure to be a hit with your loved one! Who can resist a sparkling diamond necklace or ruby ring? You will most definitely make a statement with a jewelry selection! Maybe the age-old saying is true – “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.”

#4: Apparel and Accessories

Clothing is always a great gift idea, and luckily, there are many more options available for winter holiday gifts. Mittens, earmuffs, scarves, and coats are all excellent and practical cold-weather gear presents. If you are looking to gift something to be used in more indoor settings, try pajama sets, sweaters, or cozy cardigans. Be creative in your approach to gifting; maybe choose a theme and stick with it. For instance, a children’s gift centered around bedtime with a pajama set, socks, and maybe even a book as mentioned earlier for a sweet goodnight tuck-in. Or, perhaps a women’s pajama set, matching robe, and slippers. Nothing says comfort like a spa-like ensemble! For men, dress socks and ties are a classic gift, and maybe even throw in a hat to spice things up! Young girls may find joy in decorative holiday hair bows that match their holiday dresses. As you can see, there are endless opportunities to gift your family special someone with apparel and accessories!

#5: Bedding

I know what your thinking; when you see bedding, you may think “boring!” But think about those fuzzy, warm blankets that come in an assortment of styles and patterns. You know the ones, they are practically a staple in every household, and you can never have too many cozy blankets! If the person you are buying for tends to run exceptionally cold, a heated blanket is a perfect gift idea! No more nights spent shivering with layer upon layer that tends to fall while you twist and turn in your sleep. Bedding can also be decorative. Think accent pillows, holiday-themed sheets, and new fluffy sleep pillows! Throw in a bit of personalization with a sleep mask – talk about relaxing!

#6: Gift Certificates

When in doubt, gift certificates are always a good back up if you can’t find that one perfect gift you’ve been searching for. Gift certificates are easy on you and the person you are buying it for; they offer convenience on the person gifting as well as the receiver. Since they don’t expire and can be used on practically whatever item the person wishes to purchase, it’s a win-win situation!

Those are six gift ideas for Hanukkah to help guide you through this season’s gift-giving. Whatever you end up choosing, choose it with the spirit of Hanukkah and the person the gift is meant for in mind. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be gifted one of the above gifts yourself!
