There are so many ways to celebrate Hanukkah—and eating traditional Hanukkah foods is just the beginning. You can also light the menorah, play dreidel, and gather with family and friends. Of course, exchanging gifts is another Hanukkah tradition that's part of the fun. And the best part about it is that there are eight whole nights for opening Hanukkah gifts! That means starting on December 7 and going through December 15, you'll want to have a gift ready for everyone in the family. That's why we've rounded up ideas in our 2023 Hanukkah gift guide!
Ahead, you'll find Hanukkah gifts for just about anyone on your list whether you're looking for gifts for your kids, kitchen gifts, or holiday candles. We even included a few ideas that double as Hanukkah dessert like the Hanukkah sugar cookie kit. Another fun idea is getting a beautiful set of olive oil (to symbolize the oil that burned for eight nights) or matching Hanukkah pajamas for the whole family! Even those who don't celebrate Hanukkah might want to have a few present ideas to share with friends this Hanukkah season. Or, you can wrap one of the presents ahead as a hostess gift if you're invited over to eat latkes for dinner. (Psst: The Pioneer Woman's potato grater would be a great place to start!)
