Worst Ideas

Generally, gift-giving during Hanukkah is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s still important to never send inappropriate gifts. Everything should be kosher and family-friendly to prevent offending the recipients. However, there aren’t any official rules for this season, meaning the gifts are always acceptable as long as they’re sincere.
The best gifts aren’t necessarily the most expensive, but objects the recipient will love. Gift cards aren’t the best idea unless your loved ones specifically said they don’t mind them.
