Hanukkah Chocolate Gifts

Because of gelt. Gelt is Yiddish for money, and giving coins on Hanukkah goes back centuries. Chocolate coins took over in the early nineteen hundreds and became the candy kids bet in the dreidel game. Chocolate has been part of the holiday's language ever since.

There is no single rule. Some families exchange one gift on the first night, others do a small something each of the eight nights, especially for kids. A multi-box chocolate set covers the nightly approach without eight separate shopping trips, and one bigger box handles the single-gift approach.

Something the table can share that night. Hanukkah spreads swing between dairy latke parties and meat dinners, and pareve chocolate is welcome at either without any checking. Bring a Fames Chocolates box and it can go straight out with dessert, whatever else is being served.

Very. December gift lists cross traditions, and a kosher, dairy-free chocolate box respects more of them at once than most default gifts. People who celebrate Hanukkah get something that genuinely fits, and everyone else just gets very good handmade chocolate from Brooklyn.

Check the calendar first, since Hanukkah lands anywhere from late November to late December. Order at least a week before the first night, and add margin for corporate or multi-address orders, because the holiday usually collides with the busiest shipping weeks of the year.
