28 Best Hanukkah Gifts for All Eight Nights

The menorah is the gift of the holiday, and this contemporary aluminum Tree of Life design by Israeli artist Yair Emanuel is one that stays on display all year. It fits standard Hanukkah candles and makes a meaningful gift for a couple, a new home or a child's first menorah of their own.

Twenty-four bags of kosher milk chocolate coins, enough for the dreidel games, the classroom party and a bag for each of the eight nights. No Hanukkah is complete without gelt, and this quantity solves it in one order.

Forty-four colorful spiral candles with a prayer card, covering all eight nights with spares. Pair the box with the menorah above and the gift is complete.

A full-size matte silver menorah with LED flames, powered by USB or batteries. The right choice for a dorm room, an office, a hospital stay or a home with toddlers, where real flames are not an option.

Ten colorful wooden dreidels with transliterated letters and instructions, so guests who did not grow up with the game can join in. One for every player at the party, under $10.

Menorah, dreidel and Star of David cutters in stainless steel. A small gift that turns into an annual tradition of sugar cookies with blue icing.

A tall stemmed silver-plated goblet with matching tray for Shabbat and Havdalah. A classic for a wedding, bar or bat mitzvah, or a couple's first home, and one that gets used every Friday night.

Silk with grape vine embroidery from Yair Emanuel. The kind of challah cover that becomes the family's, brought out every Shabbat and holiday for decades.

A tempered glass challah board in a blue marble design. It looks beautiful under the bread and wipes clean in seconds, which is more than can be said for most wooden boards.

A waterproof rectangular case with a silver shin, sized for a standard scroll and suitable for an outside door. The traditional gift for a new home.

A large metal hamsa with hearts, a home blessing and good luck symbol from Yair Emanuel. Judaica art that works in any room and suits a housewarming as much as Hanukkah.

Seventy-two three-hour tapers, a year of Shabbat candles in one box. Not glamorous, but every observant household uses them weekly and runs out at the worst moment.

Glow-in-the-dark Hanukkah pajamas from The Children's Place, available in matching sizes for the whole family. The first-night photo by the menorah is a tradition in many homes, and this is the gift that makes it.

The Hanukkah answer to the ugly Christmas sweater: a crewneck with sequin-embroidered menorahs. Fun for the office party, the family photo and the latke night.

A plush flannel throw with a menorah that glows after lights out. Kids love it, and it is cosy enough to stay on the sofa through the winter.

Festive crew socks for a small night gift. Silly, comfortable and the kind of thing that gets worn every December.

A fine gold-plated Star of David on a delicate chain. Everyday jewelry with meaning, at a price that works for one of the eight nights.

Four long runners with menorah and star designs for the dinner table and the buffet. A practical gift for whoever hosts the party, and a nice thing to bring as a guest.

Blue and gold menorahs and stars that cling to windows and peel off clean. Under $10, reusable, and a perfect job for the kids on the first night.

Eight nights of gifts means a lot of wrapping. A jumbo 30-inch roll with menorahs and stars is the practical gift for the household doing all of it.

Two hundred and forty interlocking mini pieces that build menorahs and dreidels from an instruction tube. Screen-free, STEM-friendly and genuinely about the holiday.

Eight 48-piece puzzles, one for each night, featuring Hanukkah pups. It solves the problem of eight small gifts for a five-year-old in a single box.

The cookbook for the person who hosts every holiday: latkes, brisket, sufganiyot and the stories behind them, from the most trusted name in Jewish cooking.

Oil is the whole point of the holiday. Brightland's Awake and Alive extra virgin olive oils in a gift box are the bottles people leave on the counter, and they make exceptional latkes.

A gold nonstick pan for baking sufganiyot at home without a fryer. A practical gift for the family that makes the holiday treats together.
