Chanukah 2020 Gift Guide For The Movie Lovers In Your Life

This year, Chanukah starts at sundown on December 10. And as any good Jew, friend of Jew, or Adam Sandler fan knows, you’ve got eight crazy nights of gifts to deal with—unlike Christmas, where there’s one day to open a bunch of stuff under the tree.

Thankfully, there are no hard and fast rules for giving during the Festival of Lights—so feel free to use your imagination for all your favorite TV and movie-loving pals. Hanukkah themed potato peeler for crispy latkes while you binge The Flight Attendant? Check. FitBit Versa 3 smartwatch to get you off the couch after you eat those latkes? You bet.

So, get ready to light the menorah, spin the dreidel and say farewell to the year we shall no longer name. It’s Hannukah, bitches. L’chaim!

Rite Lite Latke Peeler, $16

Forget potato chips as a favorite streaming snack, potato pancakes are the way to go this Chanukah.

Terrarium Candles, $25

Fashioned by Zoe Tang out of soy wax, not only will you appreciate the colorful cacti and poppies, but they come in scents like sandalwood, pine and vanilla, and jasmine and white tea.
