8 Best Gifts for 8 Nights of Chanukah (and Christmas)

This is it. I’m marking this as the first Annual Official Mensch Chanukah and Holiday Gift Guide for Guys (also known as AOMCHGGG). Here are 8 perfect gift ideas for Chanukah that won’t disappoint any guy from the tribe.

1. Solid Brass Dreidel $48

It’s first for a reason. This dreidel is made from one single piece of solid brass and they only made 72 of them! Grab an almost one of a kind dreidel and he’ll surely love it forever.

2. Merino Wool Dress Socks $84 (for 6 Pack)

If he isn’t wearing merino he’s doing socks wrong. These will last longer, wick moisture better, and keep smelly feet in their place. Boardroom Socks are made in North Carolina and have a rich history for a family owned business.

3. Carhartt Weekender Bag $75

It’s one of those things that everyone could use a new one. This one from Carhartt will last way longer than expected and somehow seems to never run out of room.

4. 100% Cashmere Scarf $20

Living in New York, a scarf is essential. If you’re going to go for a gift you might as well get the best and this 100% cashmere made in Scotland scarf is it.

5. Zippo Refillable Hand Warmers $14

I got this last year for Chanukah and it’s so good I wish I could use it year round. Cold feet? Get the socks above. Cold hands? Get these for your mans.

6. Kangaroo Balls Wine Corkscrew $45

Looking for a funny gift? This may just be the funniest one I’ve seen, especially if they have nothing to do with Australia. Order. Gift Wrap. Laugh.

7. Ember Heated Mug $80

It’s a mug that keeps your drink heated. That’s it!

8. Leather Flask $85

The good folks at Whiskey Leatherworks have made the perfect flask. Pick your favorite color and watch him fall in love with this one. Plus, the brand is run by an amazing couple who have followed their American dream and it’s incredible to support.
