24 Great Hanukkah Gift Ideas for 2025

For the gift recipient far from a Jewish deli, bring the deli to them. The Birthday Box from Katz’s, the legendary deli on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, includes reuben-making delicacies such as hand-sliced pastrami, corned beef, sour pickles, sauerkraut, reuben spread, mustard, deli rye, and black-and-white cookies. And no matter how long the journey, the meal will arrive intact, frozen inside a cooler or wrapped in vacuum-sealed bags. It’s perfect for a small dinner party — or for the solo diner whose mother is always telling them, “Eat something, bubbeleh!”
We love finding gifts that are unusual, thoughtful, and well vetted. See even more gift ideas we recommend.
