8 Hot Chanukah Gifts from Israeli Artists
While giving presents is not a traditional Chanukah activity, giving gifts of money (gelt) is. In the diaspora, because giving presents is a huge part of the winter festivities, many Jewish families have adopted the tradition of gift-giving for Chanukah. Here are eight cool gift ideas, created by Israeli artists.
1. Tic Tac Toe Chanukah Menorah by Laura Cowan
While all of Laura’s designs are really cool, this Tic Tac Toe menorah, which can be used to really play tic tac toe, is a super creative and beautiful way to celebrate Chanukah.
2. Zoe Apothecary
All-natural Israeli spa and apothecary products, many of which contain Dead Sea minerals.
3. SheviB Glass Creations
Modern glass art that is functional, bold and distinctive. Menorahs, centerpieces and mezuzah cases are just a few of the unique items you will find here.
4. ArtTrivets by Yael Harris Resnick
Stunning heat-resistant table runners that are almost too beautiful to use. Made from recycled materials and minimal packaging.
5. Qurious Cards by Miriam Lottner
Here’s a gift specifically for the kids! Although not specifically Chanukah or Judaism themed, these cards are fun and educational and created by an Israeli entrepreneur.
6. Kiyor Studio
One-of-a-kind functional art, including Judaica, table art, and jewelry, inspired by the Land of Israel, and made of the clay of its holy ground. Literally.
8. Art with Neshama
Blessings, quotes, personalized plaques, as well as other Judaica in colorful and creative designs.
