The Mensch on the Bench
The Mensch on a Bench is a NEW Hanukkah Tradition meant to bring families together. Moshe the Mensch was created by a Jewish father who wanted to teach his sons about the Jewish holiday while adding new traditions to the family. Move him each of the 8 nights of Chanukah and have him watch over the family menorah. Don’t forget to squeeze his hand to learn Yiddish expressions and more. $19.99+up
GoGo SqueeZ
Put the FUN in enjoying latkes this year and let everyone from toddlers to adults GoGo SqueeZ their applesauce onto their plates, on top of their latkes, or directly into their mouth. Mix things up a bit with some of their fun flavor combinations that give those potato pancakes a new spin on flavor. Whether your traditional and prefer AppleApple, or live on the edge with AppleStrawberry, or need a BIG BLAST of flavor from a BigSqueeZ, you’ll love using GoGo Squeez this Chanukah season. My fave? It’s definitely the Apple Cinnamon. Prices vary
Fairytale Brownies
My mother said, never visit empty-handed. The holiday season means visiting friends and family, and you can never arrive without a gift in hand. I assume that my host/hostess will be cooking up a storm, so I always show up with desserts from Fairytale Brownies. Whether it be a Holiday Morsel Sampler (like the one shown) or a 3-box Tower, everyone will love the variety of individually wrapped cookies and brownies. Prices vary
HAPPY CHANUKAH!!!
