Give More than Gelt This Hanukkah With These Surprises
Blogged under Food, Gifts, Holiday shopping, Toys and Games, Uncategorized by Katherine Tanney on Monday 3 December 2007

hanukkah_puzzle_challahconnection.jpgTraditionally, Jewish children were awarded money, or gelt, as a prize for successfully displaying their knowledge of the Hanukkah story. That practice long ago evolved to include the giving of gifts. Your first of eight opportunities to present something special in celebration of Hanukkah begins Tuesday, and Shopperati has some ideas. The Oh Hanukkah basket  ($140 for 8-10 people, $215 for 12-14+) comes with chocolate babka, blue-and-white cookies from the Lower East Side (of Manhattan, we assume), a milk chocolate menorah, chocolate coins, caramel corn, candy, and more. Browse a selection of Hanukkah gift baskets at the Challah Connection. You don’t have to give a big gift every night, so why not give a Yiddish magnetic poetry kit  ($14.99)? Meant to rival those English language sets you can arrange amusingly on the fridge, these Yiddish bon mots “will make your bubbe kvell.” Or put together a set of personalized M&Ms using blue and white candy and whatever phrases you want. For the little ones, ages 4+, there’s a Hanukkah Puzzle ($19.99) that teaches the traditions of the holiday. Or get the kids Kosherland, the Orthodox equivalent of the board game Candyland. Still looking for a far-out menorah? Hippie throwbacks and flower-power diehards will adore the Wheelin’ Groovy Menorah  ($57), a table-top sized old VW bus of enameled metal turned menorah.
