Can you believe it? We are nearly through 2020, which means that Hannaukuh is quickly approaching!
But chances are that this whole global pandemic thing has put a bit of a damper on everyone’s festive spirits, with many probably not even have thought about Hannaukuh gifts until right now!
Hannakauh lasts for eight nights, so you will need to find at least eight gifts to give over the duration of the celebration.
No need to stress though, we are here to help and ensure that you’ve got all those Hannaukuh gifts sorted and that they are ones the recipients will absolutely love!
Here are five ideas for Hannaukuh gifts and why we think anyone would love them,
1. A timeless piece of jewelry
One thing that never goes out of style is a thoughtful piece of jewelry. But it is more complex nowadays than simply picking up a pair of pearl earrings. The story behind the jewelry is just as important and meaningful as the actual gift, which is why this year we are suggesting giving ethical jewelry as one of the eight gifts of Hannaukuh. Whether it be a ring, a necklace, or earrings, make sure to give the gift of a piece of jewelry that was made with craftmanship, care, and ethics at the forefront.
2. Essential oils
This year has been stressful, so why not get a collection of essential oils as one of the eight gifts? Essential oils like lavender or rosemary not only smell good, but they are good for the soul and stress levels as well. It really is the perfect gift to a cap of 2020 because it is essentially (see what we did there) the gift of relieving stress—something everyone needs right about now!
3. A Hannaukuh candle
How cool is this, there is a legit candle called the Hannaukuh candle. Smelling of fragrances like butter, apple, potatoes, and donuts, you can give the gift of Hannaukuh by giving a candle that reminds people of this special celebration all year long! This celebration is more than just gifts—it is a special time to share time with family and to remember what is important in life. The candle serves as a reminder of just that as well!
4. A quirky menorah
Have fun with the Hannaukuh gifts and give something that is quirky and can be used for years to come! There is a range of quirky and unique menorah’s that capture and represent a range of personalities, so you can give a unique menorah that is specific to the gift recipient. It is something they will laugh at and also smile at in the years to come that they use this quintessential piece of this important celebration.
5. A cozy blanket
Hannaukuh is synonymous with winter, so why not give a gift that allows people to cuddle up in warmth and find comfort. Everyone can use a hug right now and a cozy blanket designed to snuggle up in is a very thoughtful gift that will remind the gift recipient of you even when you’re not there. And with so many different types of blankets to choose from, you can’t really choose wrong—as there is the perfect blanket with the perfect color, fabric, and size out there for each person.
Hannaukuh is a special time of year that brings us all closer together. The gifts of Hannaukuh aren’t about the gifts themselves, they serve as reminders for the people that love us and care about us. So when you are searching for those Hannaukuh gifts, we encourage you to select gifts that represent the good in the world and your love for that gift recipient!
