Hanukkah Gifts 2018


Hanukkah is typically is a season to give gifts to your children ---and I have ideas for some below outside of the traditional ones we all know. But it can be a time of giving in other ways with adults, bringing food to gatherings or remembering someone special to you.

There are so many things I could recommend, but December 1 is here so I am putting this up to be of help to you right away.  Below are a few finds that may give you just the right thing, or lead to it...

FOR GROWN UPS:

Each year Williams Sonoma offers several pretty and high quality gift and food choices for Hanukkah. Here are a few to add to ones from past years that I've suggested.

Set of four beautiful Blue Mosaic Glasses -  Great to get or give to use all year long!  ON SALE now for $49.97.

The descriptions on the website are divine. SALE PRICE: $87.96.

Challah bread and babka, linzer tarts and chocolate covered mandlebread fill this sack to the brim. They'll love this sturdy, reusable canvas bag, stuffed to the gills with goodies. Get it from ChallahConnection for $129.



THE GIFT OF FUN TOGETHER

I think it's wonderful to do things together - like giving a family a game to play together, or surprising everyone with the idea of spending a night planning a trip to take in the coming year - whether it's to drive to a campground or visit Disney.

Speaking of family games - adults still love the below too. It's small, but still delivers. Mad Libs on Amazon for $4.99



Or goof around taking selfies with these Big Dot of Happiness Hanukah Props! Even better, give it with a selfie stick or pop socket. So much fun. On sale now for $5 off at $19.95.

Totally crossing over, an Ugly Sweater Mix and decoration kit with cookie cutter, mix, frosting and all the trimmings included. I woulds still have extra frosting and trimmings on hand -or a side of Pillsbury sugar dough as I bet the kids will want to make more - and you can use the sweater cookie cutter to make as many as you like. Makes 8-10 sugar cookies. For $7.95


THE GIFT OF GIVING

It can also be nice to take the time each night to make an activity of giving to others. You may want to come to that talk with several suggestions,  or decide on a category of giving - pull out your laptop and discuss each with your loved ones to decided
