This year the festival of Hanukkah runs from 16th December to 24th December, as a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees over the Greeks, and the retaking of the Jewish Temple. This festival of lights remembers the lighting of the Temple’s menorah which, although it only had oil enough to burn for one day, actually burned for eight.
At this time of celebration in the Jewish calendar why not include your pet. We’ve selected eight great Hanukkah themed gifts that are sure to make your furry friend very happy.
1. Singing Dreidel plush dog toy
This fun, six and a half inch long, toy plays “I Have a Little Dreidel” when it’s squeezed, so your pooch will have plenty of fun playing with it throughout Hanukkah and well beyond. This Multipet toy retails on Amazon for $14.94.
