Hanukkah is coming up and typically this means eight days of gifts. There’s one problem: There’s a woman on your gift list and you’re racking your brain trying to come up with eight different Hanukkah gifts. On top of that, you need to stay within your budget. Don’t stress! Here are eight ideas for affordable Hanukkah gifts for women, all under $25.
Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #1 – Home Baked Goodies
Home baked goodies are always a hit, but with Hanukkah, you have to be careful. Make sure your recipe is made of 100% Kosher ingredients. If you’re not sure, Jewish Recipes has an excellent selection of Kosher cookie recipes.
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #2 – Picture frame
A picture frame is always a thoughtful gift, especially if you include a picture of you and her together. Target has a nice selection of picture frames, most under $20. If you’re looking for a Hanukkah-themed picture frame, Gifts.com has several wood, laser-cut Hanukkah picture frames available for only $24.95.
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #3 – Music
Most CDs are under $13 so if you know she likes a particular artist or band, get her their latest album. Many people these days don’t bother buying CDs anymore, so if she has an iPod, an iTunes gift card would be a good choice. Songs range from $0.69 – $1.29, so a $5-$10 gift card is plenty.
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #4 – Magazine Subscription
This is a gift that lasts all year long. Magazine subscriptions typically run about $12-$20 for a year subscription. MagsDirect has cheap magazine subscriptions to both popular and niche magazines. Some suggestions are Glamour, Cosmo, Entertainment Weekly, and Oprah’s O magazine.
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #5 – Socks
Clothing is expensive and there’s always the size dilemma. If you want to give her something she can wear, how about a pair of cute socks? Absolute Socks sells Hanukkah-themed socks for only $7.99 – truly a unique gift idea. How many people can say they own a pair of Hanukkah socks?
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #6 – Candles
Candles are a traditional symbol in the Hanukkah celebration, so a candle would be an appropriate gift. Here’s a pillar-style candle from Target.com decorated with a Menorah down the side. And at $2.95, it won’t break the budget.
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women Idea #7 – Nail Polish
Most women love to do their nails and enjoy having lots of colors in their collection. There’s a lot of cheap, drugstore brand nail polish out there, but if she’s a girly-girl, she probably likes OPI nail polish. At $8 per bottle, it’s on the more expensive side, but it’s high quality, fast-drying polish – and if she’s like me, she would love to add a new color to her collection! You might feel overwhelmed with the rainbow of colors available. Since it’s Hanukkah, why not go for a blue or a silver?
You can find OPI polish at Target, Ulta, or most makeup stores (except Sephora). Or buy online at OPI.com
Cheap Hanukkah Gifts for Women – Gift #8:
In some families, the last night of Hanukkah means a big gift. It doesn’t have to mean expensive though, unless it’s within your budget. On this night, give her the most special gift or something she’s specifically asked for. It can be a piece of jewelry, a pretty scarf, a new jacket, an MP3 player, a gift card to her favorite store – whatever gift you think will mean the most to her, give it to her on the last night of Hanukkah.
