Hanukkah is so much fun: We spend time frying sufganiyot and making latkes, playing dreidel, giving Hanukkah gifts, and of course, lighting the menorah each night in commemoration of the time when one portion of oil burned for eight nights as Israelites were under siege. It’s not a major holiday, but it’s beautiful, significant, and, darn it, it’s ours. And while Hanukkah gifts have changed over the years, however you celebrate Hanukkah, do it with joy and give with love.

Whether you choose one present for each night or open them all up at once, these 35 Hanukkah gifts are equal parts playful and sophisticated — perfect for the family with so much to celebrate. From Hanukkah-themed serve ware for the hosts to festive beer gifts, handy everyday items, and traditional Jewish sweets, you can't go wrong with one of these special giftable sentiments. Chag Urim Sameach!

But do they have a compact swivel cheese board with hideaway knives? I bet they don’t. You’ll be the big cheese gift-giver if you grab this for them.

Larry David Hanukkah Card

Still exhausted from seeing everyone over Thanksgiving? This Larry David card is here to help convey the message. He's crabby, he's tired, and he's over everyone. So he's just sending a card. Happy freaking Hanukkah. See you at Purim.

Sugarwish is my new go-to gift for friends and family: It's a simple, fun gift that everyone can appreciate.

How it works: You go to Sugarwish and buy one of the gift cards. Then, Sugarwish sends a text to the recipient so that they can choose what they want and where they want it shipped.

They can choose from candies, cookies, coffee, tea, popcorn, and even dog treats! And don't worry: There are plenty of Kosher options for frum family and friends.

If you have a family member interested in contemporary romance, you need to get them this book.

The Matzah Ball is a beautiful portrayal of what it means to grow up with a set of expectations that feels impossible to live up to, and finding your way in spite of the hardships you face.

Yes, it’s definitely a Hanukkah romance with kissing and everything, but it’s also a book about invisible disability and Judaism. It’s just a peach, and I’m totally shepping nachas for the author that it’s so popular.

It's a great gift for those family members who always talk about how cold the floors are. (Me. I am that family member.)
