Looking for the best products to gift — and to get — this holiday season? Check out Underscored’s Holiday Guide here.
Unlike the Christmas holiday, the celebration of Hanukkah begins on a different date each year and lasts eight nights, usually in late November or December. However, like Christmas, there really aren’t any hard and fast rules for Hanukkah gifts — although we love a cute blue and white print, or a stylish new menorah — it’s really the thought that counts during the holiday season.
A quick reminder, the Festival of Lights kicks off early this year — on Nov. 28 — so be a real mensch and pick up your gifts soon! We’ve found some of the most creative, surprising and delicious gifts, so keep reading for some holiday inspiration.
