Celebrate the Festival of Lights with our gorgeous handcrafted Hanukkah Gifts!

With Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving only a few short weeks away, most of us are starting to give some thought to the holidays approaching. This year Hanukkah will start at sunset of Sunday,the 21st of December and will continue for 8 days until Monday, the 29th of December. This year, more than ever, people will be shopping online — not only to conserve gas but because the selection is so much greater than you can find in any store.

At Jewish Gift Place, we are definately gearing up for Hanukkah and this is just the first in what will be a variety of insightful blog posts on Hanukkah gift shopping. We’ll be focusing our energies on bringing you a wide selection of beautiful items at many different price levels. Whether it be for your sister who made you chicken soup when you were laid up with the flu, or a special teacher who gave extra help to bring up your son’s math grade, we have just the right Hanukkah gift. We have Hanukkah gifts for everyone! Here is a list of our favorite Hanukkah gifts broken down by price range.

$0 – $25 Price Range

Did your neighbor just have a new baby that you’d like to remember this Hanukkah? Emily’s Rosenfeld’s Pewter Heart Baby Spoon is a lovely item that can keep you within your budget. Emily’s items come simply, yet stylishly presented and they are so unique.

Another item that is small on price but big on style is Emily Rosenfeld’s Pewter Chai Peg. Perfect for that special someone who is always losing their keys and vows to get organized in the New Year, this little peg can be a thoughtful and motivational Hanukkah gift.

$25 – $75 Price Range

If your niece just bought her first house, what better gift than a mezuzah to bring that sense of peace and protection to the new home. At Jewish Gift Place, our line of mezuzot is extensive, but the Gary Rosenthal Overlapping Copper Mezuzah with Scroll and Shin is priced just right and is a very popular piece. If you’d like to add a kosher scroll, that is an option too!

At Jewish Gift Place, hamsas are some of our most popular items. For those of you that don’t know, a hamsa is an amulet of protection. We carry hamsa earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, to name only a few. Artist Michal Golan creates some gorgeous hamsa necklaces and we have so many to choose from. At $75.00, the Michal Golan Springtime Hamsa Necklace is a lovely choice.

$75-and Up Price Range

For that special someone who you don’t mind spending a little more on, we can provide the most stunning items. A dreidel is the traditional gift of Hanukkah and how sad for it to be left behindas just a child’s toy. To keep those precious childhood memories alive a Gary Rosenthal Modern Dreidel would be the perfect Hanukkah gift. On a desk in a library or in a prominent spot on a bookshelf, the dreidel sculpture captures the happiness of Hanukkah and keeps the joy throughout the year.

Many of our jewelry items are incredibly beautiful and would instantly become that treasured piece you love to give. Michael Bromberg’s Mezuzah Necklace is an eyecatching piece and has so much meaning as a Hanukkah gift. Likewise, an Eduardo Milieris watch would be that showstopping piece that you give your husband or father to let them know just how treasured they are! No Hanukkah holiday would be complete without a menorah to light the way! We carry some of the most beautiful menorahs you will find anywhere! Each one is meticulously handcrafted and no two are alike! The artists at Blackthorne Forge make incredible menorahs, like the Iron Ribbon Jewish Menorah. All of their pieces are guaranteed for life so it is a gift that you can feel confident about giving.

Because our Hanukkah gifts are handcrafted, they may take a while to order from the artist. We do keep many items in inventory so call us if you see something you need quickly. Some items may be personalized and this can add a few more days to the turn around time. Once we’ve received the Hanukkah gift from the artist we will do our best to ship it to you as quickly as possible. So take all of this into consideration if you see an item that you know your babysitter will just adore — order it early to make sure it will be there when you need it. And, while you’re at it, don’t forget to treat yourself to one of our beautiful items!
