25 Gift Ideas for All Eight Nights of Hanukkah
The first night of Hanukkah this year is December 18, so it’s officially time to start sorting out those gifts. You may be the type who likes getting your giftees one big present to encompass all eight nights—or you might prefer buying one small and sweet gift for each night. Regardless of your Hanukkah gifting style (and regardless of who you’re shopping for) we have 20 great ideas for everyone—and every night.
Kids and teens—a notoriously difficult group to please—will be happy with the puzzles and candy, while wives, moms, and grandmas will adore all the cuddly, cozy gift ideas. We’ve also included a handful of Hanukkah-themed presents, from a stunning new menorah to a goofy accessory for pups. And when all else fails, there’s always a gorgeous candle.
P.S.: We’ve also stocked this gift guide full of Oprah’s Favorite Things from 2022 and previous years. Because, let’s be real, the Oprah-approved gifts are pretty much guaranteed to be winners. Below, find 20 of the best gifts for Hanukkah, from small, inexpensive items for stocking all eight nights to luxurious splurges that make for one special present.

1) Hanukkah Chocolate Gift Box
Compartes
compartes.com
$39.95

2) Latke Party Pack
Linda's Gourmet Latkes
lindasgourmetlatkes.com
$65.00
The latkes from this family-owned business are a longtime favorite of Oprah Daily's creative director, Adam Glassman. Be sure to gift one of the larger packs—especially one that comes with the homemade applesauce—because, as Glassman says, you and your giftee won't be able to eat just one.

3) Latkes and Lights Candle
Homesick
amazon.com
$34.00
For a more Hanukkah-specific candle, gift this unique scent. It's got base notes of vanilla, sugar, and musk, mid notes of pomegranate and pound cake, and, surprisingly, top notes of baked apple, butter, and potatoes. It may not be everyone's cup of tea (um, piece of latke?) but it'll probably make your giftee smile.

4) Trace Chanukiah
Via Maris
westelm.com
$165.00
If you’re celebrating Hanukkah with someone who doesn’t have their own menorah yet, they’ll definitely appreciate being gifted this sleek steel one. It comes from a small, woman-owned business and features handy removable candle cups (much easier to clean!).

5) 8 Nights of Delight Taster
sugarfina
nordstrom.com
$30.00
If you need a gift that lasts all eight nights, this box includes a piece of candy for each. It’s a great inexpensive option for kids, to combine with another present, or to add some Hanukkah spirit.

6) Nick Cave x Eli's Cheesecake Cuties
Nick Cave
elicheesecake.com
$125.00
If you need a gift for someone with a sweet tooth, these limited edition cheesecake bites are the perfect choice. The designs are a collaboration with artist Nick Cave, and they're almost too cute to eat—but the flavors (vanilla, raspberry, lemon, chocolate-vanilla, and dulce de leche) are too good to pass up.

7) Blackened Cast Iron Menorah
AREAWARE
food52.com
$155.00
Another great menorah for gifting is this sculptural cast iron version, which features a base for catching wax drips. It almost looks like it belongs in a museum—and that's because it's actually included in the permanent collection at The National Museum of American Jewish History, so it kind of does. (No shame in keeping this gift for yourself.)

8) 800 Piece Decorative Artwork Puzzle
Jiggy
amazon.com
$49.00
“The founder of this company fell in love with puzzles as a form of stress release and meditation—and she wanted to help others enjoy the pastime, too,” Oprah said when including this brand in her 2022 Favorite Things. There are several cozy images to choose from, so any giftee can get something they like.

14) Family Tree Bamboo Carving Board
Totally Bamboo
amazon.com
$89.99
When including this in her 2022 Favorite Things, Oprah said: “Want to know what I said the first time I laid eyes on this carving board? “Yes! Yes! Yes!” Not only is this tree etching display-worthy, it serves a purpose—it directs juices away from meat you’re carving and into a larger well.” The design can double as the tree of life.
