Best Hanukkah Gifts 2022: 75 Thoughtful Ideas For Everyone On Your List

The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah starts on a different day each year — this year, the first night is the evening of December 18th.

Are the gifts supposed to be Hanukkah-related (i.e. dreidels, menorahs, etc.) or does anything go?
