Hanukkah 2021 dates are early this year. This year, Hanukkah begins on the evening of Sunday, November 28th, and ends on the evening of Monday, December 6th. I’m not Jewish but I enjoy living in a predominately Jewish neighborhood filled with such a rich culture. That is why I’m sharing 7 Hanukkah Gift Ideas 2021.
There are plenty of gift idea suggestions for kids online so I am sharing seven Hanukkah gift ideas for adults. Of course, M.O.T. (Member of the Tribe) adults can share some of the sweet treats with younger loved ones if they want to do so!
Hanukkah Gift Ideas 2021
1. Kosher Chocolate: Sales of chocolate have been steadily on the rise. That is why I like this 8 Days of Hanukkah chocolate gift mailer from Sugar Plum. It includes an assortment of eight Kosher chocolates hand-made by epicurean artisans. The gift box packaging is also bright and festive.
$49.00
2. Hanukkah Shirts: My family’s tee company (Our Family Tees) created a cute line of Hanukkah shirts a couple of seasons ago. They continue to be popular. Below are some of the bestsellers:
3. More Sweet Treats: The whole family will love the items from FATTY SUNDAYS’ Hanukkah shop – including custom Chanukah chocolate-covered pretzels.
$37.95
4. Cooking Course: Even if your budget is $0, you can give this thoughtful gift! YIVO Institute for Jewish Research is currently offering the educational course, A Seat at the Table: A Journey Into Jewish Food, for FREE. The course explores Jewish fare and culture (focusing on the Ashkenazi Jewish experience) and its modern culinary renaissance.
5. Menorahs: I was introduced to Impression Judaica by Jessica Kobrin Bernstein (a fellow blogger) several years ago. It is the business of her talented husband, Rafi Bernstein. Rafi sells some beautiful Judaica – including custom and handmade items – at Impression Judaica. The menorahs are especially noteworthy.
Unfortunately, due to flood damage from Hurricane Ida, Rafi lost his entire inventory. You can get information regarding how to contact him directly for custom work on the website.
6. Mezuzahs: I saw some beautiful mezuzahs at a trade show several years ago. Unfortunately, I no longer have the company’s contact information. Thankfully, there are several other lovely options. Etsy offers a wide range of mezuzahs. Rafi Bernstein (whom I mentioned earlier) also has a “Design Your Own Mezuzah” site at designamezuzah.com. The site is still actively fulfilling orders.
7. Chanukah House: I couldn’t end my list without including the DIY Chanukah House Cookie Decorating Kit from Manischewitz.
Obviously, food dominated this mini Hanukkah gift guide. What can I say? I’m a food lover.
Writing this Hanukkah piece caused me to remember when my son Sean sang Hanukkah songs for kids with his first-grade classmates at a school holiday performance. They were so cute singing “Hanukkah Tonight”. “Hanukkah Sameach!” (Happy Hanukkah!)
