If you are looking for the perfect Hanukkah Gift for somebody then let me tell you straight off that you are heading into problems. Not only is there not a 'perfect' give, but also you need to find out exactly what the person that you are buying it for wants and also what they have already.
Buying a Hanukkah Gift for somebody that has it already is a massive faux pas and should be avoided under all circumstances. Not only that, but it shows that you didn't do enough research to make sure that that person actually wants what you have bought for them.
In a way, buying a gift for a child is much easier as children aren't so fussy on what you buy for them as long as it has some great wrapping paper and it is something that they can show to their friends. You should keep this in mind as it will no doubt save a lot of tears.
Buying a Hanukkah gifts for a loved one is also something that seems to cause a lot of heart-break. Early on in the relationship you can probably get away with just buying flowers or some cheap jewellery. However, as the relationship progresses, you will find that you have to buy something which is far more relevant to the person that you are buying it for and that it has to be far more personal.
Hanukkah is a time for rejoicing and remembering the miracles that happened many years ago. My advice, is not to get too caught up in what presents you are going to buy someone but also take notice of what a joyous occasion it is and how you can spend it with much joy with people whom you really love. Either that, or buy the wrong present this year and make up for it next year!
