Thanksgiving used to mark the beginning of the holiday season, but since Black Friday seems to start earlier and earlier every year, it seems that everyone already has gifts on their mind.  To help that process along, we decided to come up with a very special gift guide for you. All the gifts on this list are under $50!  We have something for every recipient on your list and can help make your Hanukkah shopping a lot easier. We spent a lot of time reviewing our sales for the year, seeing what trends we could identify and what our most popular and loved designs were. One trend we can definitely identify, this was the year of the Chai! The Chai symbol was significantly more popular this year for both men and women in pendants, earrings, bracelets, rings, cufflinks in more. So you will see a Chai option in almost every category! Stacking was also a big trend this year and our leather bracelets make for a great arm stack. We invite you to read through the guide, check out our offerings and of course leave comments. We hope to make your shopping experience just a little bit easier. We wish you a happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Shopping! And remember, we offer gift wrapping, gift cards and as always, free shipping!

Hostess Gift:

For a unique hostess gift, check out our Shema Yisrael disc keychain. The pendant is made of sterling silver and it hangs from a sturdy key ring to bring some elegant flair to your keyring. The Shema is arguably the most important prayer and it’s a beautiful symbol to carry with you wherever you go. Next we recommend our most popular red leather hamsa bracelet. These leather bracelets are beautifully made and look great on their own or stacked. This hamsa has a small evil eye in the center and offers protection to those who wear it. And since its Hanukkah we have to recommend our elegant and solid three-dimensional dreidel pendant. The 4 letters (Nun, Shin, Gimel, Hay) are engraved on the top. It’s a beautiful design that commemorates this special holiday!

Girl:

Our favorite Hanukkah gift for a young girl is our Star of David Dreidel charm necklace. Its so cute and whimsical. There is one three-dimensional dreidel charm and one sparkly Star of David charm. They look great together but can also be worn separately which gives you 3 ways to wear the necklace! We also love our turquoise ileather dreidel bracelet (actually all our leather bracelets which look great stacked!) and our new but already popular hamsa filigree stud earrings. One of our most popular necklaces this year is the off-centered star of David necklace. The off-centered style makes it really unique and the sparkly star is very feminine. Its actually pretty popular for adult women too! Especially ones that love to layer.

Boy:

So many options for boys and young men! Here are options for star, chai and mezuzah pendants, all of which go well with a box chain.  This is our classic Jewish Star of David, with a woven design and a high polished finish. Its smooth and solid and very comfortable to wear. Back to our most popular symbol of the year, the Chai, we have a modern high polished chai with clean lines and a simple yet elegant design. And for our mezuzah we have a solid rounded mezuzah with a Star and a Chai on it, for someone who can’t decide which motif they like best!

Woman:

There are too many great options for women! One of our personal favorites is the large filigree double Star of David. The filigree is really elegant and the oxidized finish makes it really unique. It looks great on a long, oxidized box chain worn low on the neck. For something bright and bold check out our blue enamel evil eye pendant with cubic zirconia. Beautifully made and ideal for someone who prefers not to flaunt Jewish symbols, this stunning symbol of protection is sure to turn heads. And for something a little more unique, we have the large Ahava pendant. Ahava means love and the pendant is modeled after the famous sculpture in Israel. It’s a great way to show your love for the special woman in your life. Pair it with a classic box chain.  And if you really want to win bonus points check out the matching Ahava earrings!

Man:

This elegant Chai pendant has a wave like pattern on it. The back is flat but the pendant has nice dimension to it. It’s a more classic design and the Chai represents long life. What better message to give the man in your life, that you want him around forever! This Chai looks great with a Medium box chain, which comes in 20” and 24” as well. 

Don’t love the chai symbol? How about a modern solid mezuzah pendant. The mezuzah is said to offer protection and is always popular with the guys. This one is flat but thick and has a Shin on it. It has an oxidized finish giving it a darker, edgier feel. It looks great with an oxidized box chain.

Not into pendants? Check out our two most popular chains for men: our wheat chain and curb link chain. Both are solid and substantial and very popular on our site!

Grandmother:

Our sterling silver Bubbe pendant is beloved by all the Bubbes in the world! Everyone knows that a Bubbe’s favorite job is being a Bubbe, so now she can wear this proud badge of honor which represents the beautiful family that she built. Pair it with a Medium Cable Chain for the ultimate gift. 

Do you have a Safta, Nana, Gram, or Grandma instead? Try the classic woven heart star pendant or an elegant tree of life pendant instead. Both look great with a sterling silver box chain.

Grandfather:

Sorry to disappoint you but we don’t yet have a Zayde charm yet, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a great idea for your special Grandpa. One of our oldest and most classic designs is our 10 commandments Star of David hybrid. It has an oxidized finish and has the first 10 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, representing the 10 commandments.  Looks great with an oxidized box chain which matches the finish on the pendant. And slightly over $50 (but we have a feeling with our black Friday deals you will find it in the budget) we have a really cool keychain that says Be Guarded and Protected and has 2 Lions and the 10 commandments on it.  It’s a really powerful, protective symbol that looks great alongside your keys.
