9. Luxury Hanukkah Candles - Blue & White

While you could use any candles for Hanukkah as long as they last long enough, you can treat someone to the gift of these gorgeous, handmade beeswax candles from the Israeli city of Tzfat, widely known as a center of traditional candlemaking. These candles are also blue and white, great for showing love and support for Israel—and bringing in light—at a time when Tzfat and most other places in Israel's north has been struggling to opperate under constant barrage.

10. Yair Emanuel Cylinder Hanukkah Menorah with Pomegranate Metal Cut-Out

A menorah brings in light, but this one also brings in color, with this rainbow of colored, annodized aluminum, each one in a unique color. Each of the candlesticks is covered with a thin sheet of laser cut metal in a swirling, pomegranate motif. This is a modern design that is great for someone who is looking for something more than the typical candelabra design.

11. Floral Home Blessing on Canvas - Hebrew/English

In Israel, Hanukkah is often a time for housewarmings, from the "chanukkat habayit" (rededication of the house) for which the holiday is named. This home blessing, centered in Hebrew and with an English translation around the border would make for an amazing present for a loved one that can also become a cherished piece of decor. The text is surrounded by a lovely, understated natural floral pattern that will look great anywhere you put it. This gift is available in multiple size options, so it will suit the space, no matter where its going.
