The 25+ Best Hanukkah Gifts, From Shabbat Sets to Marble Menorahs

Every year, as the Festival of Lights draws nears, we ask ourselves: why is Hanukkah-themed holiday merch so often…like that? By “like that”, of course, we’re talking sincere, yet tone-deaf attempts to repurpose Christmas merch — think Hanukkah “wreaths”, reindeer with menorah-shaped antlers, slapping “oy to the world” on just about everything, and Hanukkah gnomes. So many gnomes.

The best Hanukkah gifts are thoughtful presents that will make the holiday even more joyous and emphasize the time we spend with loved ones, without trying to “Christmas-ify” everything. Our editors curated this list based on top-rated picks that will get your giftee through all eight nights, whether that be for lighting the menorah, whipping up food, or adding some decoration to their space.

Hanukkah 2024 starts a little late this year on Dec. 25 (the rare Chrismukkah convergence) and goes through Jan. 2, 2025, so there’s still time to start shopping the best gadgets, home goods, kitchen gear and more for the celebration. Check out our favorite gifts below (and no gnomes, we promise).
