As the holiday season approaches, our calendars fill with parties, celebrations, and get-togethers. Preparing to host or visit requires some planning, including buying holiday-themed decorations, gifs, and trinkets. Hanukkah’s varieties include menorahs, dreidels, cards, and more, and many local businesses offer themed gifts for the holiday. This year, Hanukkah will be celebrated from November 28th to December 6th. Check out our list of businesses in and around Essex County that offer Hanukkah items.
