Troye Sivan's lifestyle brand never fails to come up with wackily luxurious products. This beanie wrap, designed in collaboration with Zankov, is no different. It's made from cashmere and Australian merino wool and it's designed to "drape, hood and hide." What more could you want?

Just a reference to the most iconic Hanukkah children's book of all time (IYKYK).

This amulet is inscribed with the words "אדני ישמר־צאתך ובואך מעתה ועד־עולם". This comes from Psalm 128 and means "The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore." On the front, it has the word שׁדי" (Shaddai). This is one of the names of God.

Yes, this works for a party, but it's also good for every day shimmer and shine too.

In addition to the gift box, Lush also released a shamash bubble bar. Shaped like the Hebrew letter "Yud" and made from vibrant orange cocoa butter, it's both an authentic and deeply relaxing spa gift.

Sometimes the best Hanukkah gift is an experience and experiencing the unbelievably talented cast of "Ragtime" on Broadway will blow you away.

In this one-man show, Tony winner Ari'el Stachel reckons with his Arab Jewish identity and the anxiety he's had all his life. "Other" is a theatrical feat unlike anything else and an often-times funny and poignant reflection on what it means to be Yemenite, Ashkenazi, Israeli and American.

Set baby's Hanukkah gift expectations early with these super soft socks.

Whoever receives this tank will look as fabulous as Carrie Fisher, who inspired this design.
