Hanukkah is the time of year when you can show your family and friends your love and appreciation with gifts. No matter whom you’re shopping for this year, you’re sure to find the perfect gift for them here. Check out these products for Hanukkah 2022. 

Manischewitz Crypto Gelt

Yes, this is real: Manischewitz is selling Crypto Gelt AKA “Hanukkah Coins for the New Ages.” Crypto isn’t actually physical, but Crypto Gelt is – and it’s delicious! In fact, with the way crypto has been going lately, these coins may just become more valuable than Bitcoin. 

Find Crypto Gelt at your local kosher market. 

Book: “Your Goal Guide: A Roadmap for Setting, Planning and Achieving Your Goals”

Did you know that the Journal’s own Debra Eckerling wrote a book that’ll be sure to get you motivated? You can start off 2023 accomplishing your goals using the D*E*B METHOD®, the author’s system for goal setting simplified. DEB stands for “Determine Your Mission, Explore Your Options and Brainstorm Your Path.” Do yourself a favor and get Deb’s book ASAP.

Dog Harnesses

Do you have a special doggy best friend at home? Then get him a Mina + Pup dog harness this Hanukkah. Featuring cute and colorful designs, these harnesses come with matching accessories like leashes, bandanas and collars.

Natalie Kahn, a 15-year-old from Calabasas, created her brand in honor of her uncle Michael, who passed away at 34 years of age in 2020. “He was my biggest fan and supporter and a huge animal lover. In fact, the name of my company, Mina, is a combination of his name, [MI]chael, and mine, [NA]talie,” she said. “My designs are original, vibrant and fun. I am most proud of the way my pet accessories make people and their fur babies feel.”

You can purchase the harnesses and accessories on MinaandPup.com. Enter code Journal15 at checkout and you’ll save 15% on your purchase.

Handpoured Soy Candles

Another enterprising teen is Lielle Abrahami, a local 13-year-old who started making candles when her school shut down for COVID. “She always enjoyed snuggling up next to a cozy candle and a good book for hours on end,” said Nicole Abrahami, Lielle’s mother. “It wasn’t long that she decided to turn her passion and hobby into a small business.”

Lielle created Lula Candle Co., and she sells eco-friendly soy candles in scents like fresh linen, mint chocolate chip, coffee and cream or vanilla lavender. Light your candle, sit back, relax and enjoy your delicious-smelling Hanukkah.

Serum Doctor Foot Serum

Are you always shelling out money for pedicures? Do you have dry or cracked skin on your feet? Then try the Serum Doctor Foot Serum, a natural, botanically derived serum that swiftly absorbs to hydrate dry and cracked skin.

“There is nothing like it on the market,” said Dr. Jasmine Yadegari, who co-created the product with her cousin Candice Beroukhim. “Every foot treatment is messy and laborious. Our serum absorbs deep within the skin’s layers to hydrate and exfoliate and dries quickly without any messy residue.”
