Hanukkah is a special time of year where you can connect and spend time with your family or friends. There’s no better way to reassert how much your loved ones mean to you than presenting them with a heartfelt Hanukkah gift. Life can get busy, though, and that can leave you looking for last-minute gifts for everyone on your list.
Rather than settle for the first thing you see, you can still get thoughtful Hanukkah gifts without having to spend a lot of money on overnight shipping. Retailers such as Amazon offer one-day free shipping for Prime members, which means you can save money on shipping while getting a creative and meaningful present that’ll earn you high praise.
That’s not the only retailer with one-day shipping benefits: Walmart+ members are also eligible for free shipping as well as one-day shipping on a plethora of gift-worthy products.
Don’t have a Prime or Walmart+ membership? Both retailers offer a 30-day free trial, which means you can take advantage of the benefits for no cost. After the free trial is over, you’ll be charged the regular membership fee: $14.99/month or $139/year for Prime and $12.95/month or $98/year for Walmart+.
Finding the perfect gift in a short amount of time can be challenging no matter where you decide to get your surprises from. Rather than stress over what to buy, we did the hunting for you and gathered a mix of the best Hanukkah gifts that’ll arrive fast and leave the recipient with a big smile.
