Hanukkah is a magical time of year to spend with the ones you love, but finding the perfect holiday gifts can sometimes be a challenge. If you’re looking for unique presents for the whole family, we’ve got you covered! Here are our top picks for your family’s Hanukkah shopping list. We’ll go beyond menorahs and dreidels to find the really fun stuff!
Squishmallows Stokely Teddy Bear
Absolutely decked out for the festival of lights, Stokely the Jewish Teddy Bear by Squishmallows features a soft, cuddly texture and adorable design. The squishy construction makes this bear a perfect companion for naps or bedtimes, and the delightful Star of David accessories add to the look. My kids got matching Stokely bears to go with their Hanukkah pajamas, and these snuggle-worthy stuffies made family pictures even more fun! This stuffy also makes a great decoration long after the kids have outgrown the need for cuddly friends.
Green’s Hanukkah Babka Bundle
Give the gift of delicious sweet treats with this Green’s Hanukkah babka bundle. It features a chocolate babka and a cinnamon babka to satisfy everyone’s cravings, along with a box of mini black-and-white cookies and a traditional honey cake. Even though it’s not Purim, you can still enjoy the sweet flavors of the assorted hamantaschen that comes in this thoughtful dessert bundle. There’s also a bag of chocolate regulach and a bag of cinnamon rugelach for everyone to enjoy! It’s the perfect gift for friends and family who can’t be with you during Hanukkah, and it also makes a great host/hostess gift too!
The Hanukkah Llama Book and Figurine Set
Bring a smile to everyone’s face with The Hanukkah Llama book and figurine set. The mini book features the Llama and tells the story of Hanukkah, while the figurine plays a fun song to keep everyone in the mood for celebration. The book is written by Jewish educator Sara Beth Berman, and the story is accompanied by sweet illustrations. Gift this set as a gift this year and read the story with your little ones as part of your family tradition from now on!
Cozy Hanukkah Throw Blanket
Dress up your home for the holiday or give a warm, comfy gift to a loved one with this cozy Hanukkah throw blanket. The rich blue color coordinates perfectly with other Hanukkah decorations, and the repeating pattern features menorahs and the Star of David for a perfect finishing touch. Measuring 50 inches by 60 inches, this Hanukkah blanket makes a great accent for a recliner, sofa, or the guest bedroom. It’s machine-washable for easy fabric care and features lightweight construction for added comfort.
Happy Hanukkah, Pout-Pout Fish
If your little ones love the Pout-Pout Fish board books, then Happy Hanukkah, Pout-Pout Fish makes a great addition to their library. Mr. Fish gets ready to celebrate the holiday with a meal and by lighting the menorah with his friends. Delightful illustrations add to the fun, and the board book construction makes it for babies and toddlers to turn the pages on their own. You can also buy a digital version for your kindle, which is great for story time on the go as you travel to visit friends and family for the holiday.
Festive Hanukkah Scarves
This set of three Hanukkah scarves makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves to dress up for special occasions, and it’s also a great way to add to your holiday wardrobe too! The set features three different designs in vibrant, on-theme colors, so you can choose your look for every meal or family Hanukkah event you attend. The soft, silky construction offers comfort without being too warm to wear inside. Wear each one as a scarf, a cover-up, or a cute hair accessory! You can also break up the set to give each scarf out as an individual gift. These scarves are hand-wash only.
Hanukkah Catnip Toys
Don’t leave your pets out of the celebrations this year! This set of 6 plush Hanukkah catnip toys keeps furry friends busy and entertained. The set includes a dreidel, menorah, candle, and other purr-fect designs to delight your pet. Each piece is super soft and cuddly, and they’re all filled with 1g of natural catnip. With so many fun designs, this set is the ideal way to pamper your pet and treat him just like part of the family! Have a dog instead of a cat? No worries! This set of three adorable Hanukkah tennis balls gives your precious pup something fun to play with too! Each one has a cute saying on it with a vibrant blue color, and they’re nontoxic for added peace of mind.
DIY Beeswax Hanukkah Menorah Candles
Make candles together as part of your family’s annual traditions with this set of DIY beeswax Hanukkah candles. The beeswax sheets are simple to roll and mold into candles, making this project easy for kids ages 4 and up (and adults too). The set comes with pre-cut wicks to take some of the guesswork out of candle making, and an assortment of bright colors adds to the vibrant look. This set comes with everything you need to make 24 candles, so you’ll have plenty for each night of Hanukkah. Make the candles on the first night to prep for the rest of the holiday or have your family make just enough candles for each night right before you light them and say your blessings.
Hanukkah Silicone Spatula Set
Gift your favorite baker this set of Hanukkah spatulas as a way to show how much you care (or to motivate them to make some challah from scratch)! The set features three silicone spatulas that are safe for use with metal cookware. Bamboo handles offer durability, while the playful designs add a bright, cheery look to any kitchen for Hanukkah. As an added bonus, they come with adorable bows, so they’re ready to give as gifts! Consider giving the spatulas with a set of beautiful blue mixing bowls as a complete gift for a holiday host/hostess.
Custom Hanukkah Bamboo Cutting Board
Give a gift that’s sure to become a family heirloom with this custom Hanukkah bamboo board. An ornate design featuring a menorah sits at the center, and the family’s name is etched into the wood just toward the bottom for a personalized touch. Durable bamboo construction means you can use this board as a cutting board, although it also works as a serving tray for deli meats and spreads. There are also several other designs to choose from, so you can find the perfect look for everyone in your family. Give these boards as gifts for a newly married couple’s first Hanukkah together or just as a special keepsake for the ones you love.
Rite Lite Hanukkah Slime for Kids
If you have older kids or tweens, this Hanukkah slime is just the thing for holiday fun! It’s designed for kids ages 3 and up, and the unique texture is great for sensory play. The slime features a sufganiyot jelly doughnut scent for added holiday joy. Kids can also add the included dreidel confetti to the slime for a different texture and look. This Hanukkah slime comes in a resealable bucket for easy, mess-free storage that parents can appreciate. I like to put small gifts like these in a gift bag with Hanukkah gelt and other tiny treats, but it can also be given as a present on its own.
How to Shop for Hanukkah Gifts for the Whole Family
Of course, not all gifts have to have a Hanukkah theme. I tend to do a mix of gifts that celebrate the holiday itself along with presents the kids ask for (and some that they need, like socks). The key is to find gifts they will truly like instead of only buying things because they have a Hanukkah design. It’s often a struggle to find things that fit both, which can be frustrating considering how many gifts are available with Christmas themes at the same time of the year. It does take some patience, and you have to know where to look. Target has some great gifts, depending on the year, but they are a great source for fun wrapping paper and gift bags. Amazon is pretty dependable for unique gifts. I also shop ModernTribe and Traditions Jewish Gifts. Old Navy and The Children’s Place are pretty great for matching family pajamas (although you have to shop early at Old Navy to get all the sizes you need.
