No one likes getting boring gifts (looking at you, same old scarf that you forget to wear every winter). If you’re looking to add some spunk to your loved ones’ lives, we created this Hanukkah gift guide for kitschy Jewish stuff. Because why wouldn’t you want an elephant menorah or a Yiddish-speaking bowl?
While everyone has different tastes and senses of humor, there’s something for everyone (and every budget) on this list. I hope you like them just as much as I do. (There’s even pet gifts, so your Jewish cat or dog won’t feel left out!)
*And remember, the first night of Hanukkah this year is December 6*
1. This Menorah chalk board is perfect for a family with young kids, $20.
2. Because everyone needs socks, and these Hamsa socks are pretty cute, $14.99.
3. There should be a cute animal version of everything. This elephant menorah takes the cake, $128.
4. But let’s not forget about the furry members of your family–there’s pet bow ties ($12) for your scruffy pooch and cat nip lox and mouse ($6) for your ferocious feline.
5. This Hanukkah varsity sweater is perfect for any teen, $75.
6. Your kid is teething? No problem. There’s a silicone Hamsa teether for your little tot, $15.
7. Let’s not forget the men in your life (although women can wear cufflinks, too!) with these Star of David cufflinks, $123.
8. You can never go wrong with this Yiddish ‘Eat a Bit’ bowl, which was basically made just for your bubbe, $35.
9. It’s never too early for your baby to start wearing rompers showing off their/your Jewish foodie side with this “Matzah Latkes, Challah, & Me” romper.
10. Make your reader and writer friends salivate with this book: “Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli” by Ted Merwin.
