Hanukkah is days away, and families across the country find themselves making adjustments on how they're planning to spend the holiday. You may be lighting the menorah with fewer people or celebrating virtually but still want to make Hanukkah special for your loved ones. Growing up, I remember always being happily surprised with a little gift during my playdates that fell during Hanukkah as I celebrated the tradition with my friends' families — thanks, Mrs. Roberts, for having the best "gift closet"!
While no one is "dropping in" this year, whether you're making latkes with your loved ones, playing dreidel with your family, or shipping them a little surprise that will make them smile in their mailbox, we have great, affordable gifts under $50 for all eight nights of Hanukkah!
