Best Hanukkah Gifts for One on a Budget

Gifts for the Season

Kathi Downs
Giving gifts is part of what Hanukkah is all about. It is a time of celebration, and a time to show others how much we care about them. There is no need to go into debt in order to buy a Hanukkah gift for friends and for those you love. With all the discount department stores that we have, and the internet; you can find a gift for everyone on our Hanukkah list, and still remain within a budget.

Flowers for Mom

No matter where you are during Hanukkah, you can really light up your mother's Hanukkah celebration with a bouquet of flowers. It's so easy too. You can order flowers online at www.flowers.com. There is a place on the site for a card, and also time and day that you want the flowers delivered. Remember, when mom is happy, dad is happy too.

I have to admit; I love to give gifts, but I hate to shop. Especially during the holidays, I will avoid the malls with all my being. That is why I am ever so grateful for the internet and online shopping. The online site that I use for Hanukkah gifts is www.TraditionsJewishGifts.com. It is a wonderful place to shop, with a Hanukkah gift for everyone on your list.

My First Hanukkah/Chanukah

There are many young children celebrating their first Hanukkah/Chanukah this year, and when they eat their first Sufganiya, they will need a bib to protect their pretty new Hanukkah outfit. www.TraditionsJewishGifts.com has a baby bib for under $5.00 that says, "My First Chanukah.

For a child close to you, whether it be your own child or a niece or nephew, go online to www.TraditionsJewishGifts.com and you can find "My First Menorah."

Anything that makes the house look nice, is the perfect gift for a couple. Just log on to www.TraditionsJewishGifts.com and you can find some beautiful serving platters. There is a beautiful blue one with rounded corners, and silver accents for only $17.95. At this price you can even afford this as a gift for that special co-worker.

For those who collect salt and pepper shakers, you can find a beautiful selection at this site. My favorite was a set that looked like Dreidels, and they were only $12.95.

Whether it be for your husband, father, grandfather or sweetheart; if they like to read then at www.TraditionsJewishGifts.com you can find two great books that any book - lover would love to have. Great Jewish Men which sells for $26.95, and Great Jews in Sports, which sells for $27.95. Either or both would be a nice addition to any library.

A Gift for Yourself - or Anyone

You simply have got to try Mashuga Nuts. My really good friend bought me a can of them last year. They were so - 'to die for.' She told me that Mashuga was Yiddish for 'crazy,' and they are so good they drive you crazy. They are cinnamon sugar spiced pecans, and a can of them sells at www.TraditionsJewishGifts.com for only $14.95.

Happy Hanukkah, and take time this holiday season to enjoy friends, family and loved ones.
