What Do You Need for Chanukah?

Most homes need four things for Chanukah: a menorah, oil or candles to light it, something for the children such as dreidels and gelt, and a few decorations and gifts to make the eight nights feel special. Use this checklist before the first night:

How Do You Choose the Right Menorah?

Start with how you light. An oil menorah suits families who light with olive oil, which many prefer because it recalls the miracle of the oil. A candle menorah is quick to set up every night. Whichever you choose, the eight lights should stand in a straight row at the same height, with the shamash set apart.


Most halachic authorities hold that an electric menorah does not fulfill the mitzvah, so use oil or candles for the nightly lighting. Read our guide to the Hanukkah menorah to learn more.


Should You Light With Olive Oil or Candles?

Both are used. Olive oil is the classic choice, and you can buy it in bottles with a pouring nozzle, as pre-filled oil cups, or as jelled olive oil lights that are clean and fast to set up. Candles are simple for children who light their own menorah.

Plan ahead for Friday nights. In 2026 the first night (Friday, December 4) and the eighth night (Friday, December 11) both fall on Erev Shabbos. The menorah is lit before the Shabbos candles and needs enough oil, or a large enough candle, to burn until at least half an hour after nightfall. See how to light Chanukah candles for the brachos and the order of lighting.


What Are the Best Chanukah Decorations for Your Home?

Hanukkah decorations set a festive mood from the first night to the last. Popular picks in our collection include:

Complete the display with a silver plated, leather or marble menorah tray or a tempered glass drip tray, and use a glass menorah box to light outside by the door, sheltered from the wind.


Which Dreidels Are Best for Kids, Classrooms and Display?

The dreidel is the classic Chanukah game. Its four letters, Nun, Gimmel, Hei and Shin, stand for "Nes Gadol Haya Sham", a great miracle happened there. Dreidels made for Eretz Yisrael use Pei for "Po", here.

What Is Chanukah Gelt?

Chanukah gelt is the custom of giving coins or money to children during Chanukah. Today most families give both real gelt and chocolate coins, which double as dreidel game tokens. Shop chocolate coins in bags and packs of 50, candy-filled dreidels, and Chanukah money cards for giving gelt in style. Learn the history behind it in What Is Hanukkah Gelt?

Chanukah Shopping FAQs


Is it spelled Chanukah or Hanukkah?

Both are correct. They are English spellings of the Hebrew word חנוכה. "Chanukah" reflects the Hebrew pronunciation, while "Hanukkah" is the most common spelling in general use. Hanukah and Chanukkah are also seen.


How many candles do you need for all eight nights?

You need 44 candles for one menorah: 36 for the eight nights plus one shamash each night. Most boxes of Chanukah candles hold 44 or 45, so one box covers one menorah. If each child lights a menorah, buy one box per menorah.


Can you use an electric menorah for Chanukah?

An electric or LED menorah is great as a decoration, but most halachic authorities hold it does not fulfill the mitzvah. Use olive oil or candles for the actual lighting.


What do the letters on a dreidel mean?

Nun, Gimmel, Hei and Shin stand for "Nes Gadol Haya Sham", a great miracle happened there. In Eretz Yisrael the last letter is Pei, for "Nes Gadol Haya Po".


What are good Chanukah gifts for kids?

Children love a menorah of their own, light-up and singing dreidels, Chanukah toys and games, craft kits, and Chanukah books. Chanukah gelt in a money card is a classic gift for any age. See more Chanukah gift ideas.


How long should Chanukah lights burn?

The lights should burn for at least half an hour after nightfall. On Friday the menorah is lit before Shabbos, so use more oil or longer candles. A 30-minute sand timer helps you keep track.


Do you sell Chanukah supplies in bulk?

Yes. Many dreidels, chocolate coins and party supplies come in bulk packs, and our bulk orders team can help with larger school, shul or corporate orders.
