This list of presents include unique, traditional and fun ideas.

Hanukkah is just around the corner! Traditionally, Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev, which generally falls in December in the Gregorian calendar — but not this year. In 2021, Hanukkah takes place from November 28 through December 6, so if you or someone on your holiday shopping list celebrates, then the time to get them a present is now. The best Hanukkah gifts are those that acknowledge the meaning behind the holiday, and if you're in need of some Hanukkah gift ideas, then you've come to the right place.

While Hanukkah isn’t as big of a deal as other Jewish holidays (at least in the traditional religious sense), it’s definitely a significant time that reflects on cherished history, traditions and family. And therefore, you'll want to give a gift that's meaninful, whether that's something traditional or a bit more unique. Classic holiday gifts (like air fryers and stand mixers) are sure to be a hit, but if you want to get something Hanukkah specific, then here are some great gift ideas for everyone on your list, no matter your budget.

What better way to celebrate the Festival of Lights than by gifting someone a candle that smells just like savory latkes and applesauce? 

Send out holiday greetings with a pretty handprinted card, which you can either purchase individually or in a set of eight (and for bulk orders, you can even get a special message added to the inside of your cards!). 

These dreidel statement earrings feature a colorful array of glass and acrylic stones and will look so sophisticated hanging from your recipient's lobes. 

This gift box includes enough potato latkes, applesauce, smoked salmon, sour cream, and chocolate gelt for six (plus candles!). 

Whoever said advent calendars are just for Christmas? This countdown calendar provides eight nights’ worth of kosher-certified candies, including everything from mini sugar cookies to cold brew cordials.  

Socks may seem like kind of a lame gift for the holidays, but there's nothing lame about fun socks printed all over with menorahs, challah, and wine. 

These gorgeous ganache chocolates are almost too pretty to eat (but chances are, your recipient won't be able to resist the chocolatey goodness). 

This stunning menorah is made from natural brass, and the olive branch design is one of designer Michael Aram's most classic motifs.  

This gift box comes packed with tons of goodies, including pears, Jordan almonds, toffee almonds, gelt coins, brownies, rugelach, dried fruit, and more. 

Specially designed for Hanukkah celebrations, this adorable kit comes packed with chocolate gelt coins, vegan marshmallows, graham crackers, roasting sticks, and tea light—and yes, it's kosher. 

This bestselling cookbook offers a refreshingly modern take on Jewish culinary traditions, with easy-to-follow recipes for a variety of meals and treats, such as short rib cholent and matzo tiramisu. 

Available in two different sizes, this eco-friendly bamboo serving tray serves as the perfect coffee table platter or hors d'oeuvres holder during the holidays. 

Hand-planted in Los Angeles, this Hanukkah-themed gift box doubles as a planter for three mini succulents, and since it only requires watering once a week, it won't be a burden on your recipient. 

This soft-brushed cotton flannel PJ set couldn't be cozier, and as a fun surprise, the menorah print even glows in the dark. 

Have a baker in your life? Get them this laser engraved rolling pin, which is made with beech wood and protected by linseed oil so it'll retain its embossing for years. 

Made with heat treated flour and pasteurized eggs, Cookie DŌ's famous dough is totally safe to eat right out of the container, and you can send this four pack of Hanukkah-themed cookie doughs anywhere you'd like. 

This 15-inch bracelet includes a silver Star of David charm, and it encourages the recipient to make a wish as they put it on. 

The translucent acrylic board will provide a modern touch to any dinner table. The magnetically-attached knife fits in its own nook, and there is a built-in dish for salt or honey. 

Rather than buying someone challah, give them the tools to make their own with this baking box, which includes the traditional five pounds of flour plus salt, sugar, yeast, oil, and easy-to-follow instructions.

Another great gift box option, this sweet surprise comes loaded with toffee popcorn, dark chocolate truffle bars, shortbread cookies, and a pretty mercury glass candle with matches. 

Holiday flowers usually don't last, but this fun paper pop-up bouquet last forever (and it also serves as the perfect fun centerpiece). You can even include a personalized note for an additional $5. 

Books are a gift that keep on giving, and this laugh-out-loud rom com about a nice Jewish girl with a secret career as a Christmas romance novelist is a must-read. 

Why give one gift when you can give eight? This candy box set includes eight nights' worth of goodies, including a dreidel game, Hanukkah stickers, chocolate gelt, chocolate-covered pretzels, and more. 

Show how much you care with the help of 26 assorted baby brownies, two chocolate-covered brownie stars, and two chocolate-covered brownie menorahs, which are all as delicious as they look. 

Just like advent calendars, ugly sweaters aren't just for Christmas celebrations, and this tinsel Star of David sweater is sure to be a hit. 

Puzzle lovers will get a kick out of this 500 piece jigsaw puzzle, which features tons of popular Jewish foods, such as challah, rugelach, and noodle kugel. 

Who couldn't use a fun (and super luxurious) velvet throw pillow to brighten up their home during the holidays? 

Help them save money on a manicure with this set of hand-screen nail art stickers, which includes mini menorahs, latkes, and dreidels, among other designs. 

This no-bake Hanukkah cookie-shot set comes with half a dozen cookie cups (two chocolate chip, two double chocolate, one churro, and one red velvet) and all the goodies they need to decorate them. 

"I’m obsessed with these slippers, I’ve been living in them!! Unlike my other slippers these are lightweight and not as heavy and warm which makes them great to wear all day long," one reviewer noted.
