8 Nights of Food Gifts: Olive Oil Offerings
For a slick Hanukkah gift, think oil. Sprayer and cruet images courtesy of Williams-Sonoma
Gift No. 2
What would Hanukkah be without oil? A very sad celebration of dry doughnuts, tasteless latkes and darkness, I’m sure.
This season, celebrate one of the eight days of light with the gift of oil — in three forms.
First, the oil sprayer ($24.95). This non-aerosol, stainless steel beauty, from Williams-Sonoma, is both eco- and waistline-friendly. It’s ideal for lightly lubricating latke pans and baking sheets.
You might also consider an oil cruet like this French porcelain one, also from Williams-Sonoma ($32.95). Since we have to keep the oil handy this time of year, why not encourage a loved one to replace that hopelessly greasy bottle with an attractive stovetop staple? It’s dishwasher safe, and the stainless steel nozzle helps control the pour.
Last, a high-quality oil can’t be underrated. Whole Foods offers an Israeli olive oil from Nazareth, sourced from olive trees grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Fabulous.
Any of these would make a great gift, but together they’re the perfect Hanukkah package.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
