If you haven’t started shopping for Hanukkah gifts yet, then what are you waiting for? (Well, this Hanukkah gift guide, obviously.) Hanukkah begins on a different date each year and lasts eight nights, usually starting in December. In 2024 the first night is Wednesday, December 25, and the last is Thursday, January 2, which means, well, time’s ticking. (Also, in case you’re wondering, the last time the first night of Hanukkah coincided with Christmas was nearly 20 years ago, in 2005.)
Every family or group has its own approach to choosing gifts; some gift all eight nights, and others save for one big Hanukkah present. And then there’s the idea of gifting traditional Hanukkah-centric presents (menorahs, dreidels, all things blue and white, etc.). But as always, there are no rules when it comes to giving presents—except that they be given with love. Whether you settle on eight inexpensive gifts, choose to do a white elephant family exchange, or buy your hard-to-shop-for friends one item each, it’s truly the thought that counts, now more than ever.
At its core Hanukkah is about celebrating miracles—both big and small—and enjoying time with loved ones. In that spirit, we’ve gathered some of the most joyful Hanukkah gifts for everyone on your list.

Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm
If there was ever a moisturizing lip balm made for Hanukkah, this soft blue hue (actually called Astral pink) is the perfect one. But before you think this shade is only for those in the Smurfs family, just know that the shade actually adapts to the lips’ PH, which delivers a rosy glow finish thanks to its Micro-Blushing Technology. It’s super-moisturizing and protects the lip barrier especially in these cold months.

Plus, there are so many hidden pockets that you’ll feel as if the bag is 10 steps ahead of you when it comes to packing. This includes a dust bag for shoes, a leash for keys, accessible pouches, zipper pockets, and a place for your water bottle. It’s so chic and luxurious that it’s practically begging for you to go on more trips than you ever have before.
