Hanukkah décor can be notoriously tricky to shop for. While there are great options out there, they’re often hard to find—and once you locate them, it’s easy to second-guess the investment. (After all, these are items that you’ll typically only use for a few weeks each year.) To save you the time, I’ve curated a collection of stunning décor that can be enjoyed well beyond 2024’s holiday season, whether displayed year-round or saved for future Hanukkah celebrations. And though not all of these items were specifically designed for the holiday, their colors and designs capture its themes perfectly.
Beautiful dreidel terrariums, hand-painted plates and festive garlands... Wonderful options for ... More Hanukkah décor abound in 2024.

A Gilded Garland To String From Mirrors And Bannisters
Terrain
Iron Leaves Garland
This golden garland is a versatile decorative accent, perfect for draping along stair banisters, embellishing mantels and framing mirrors—and it would look especially striking as part of a Hanukkah tablescape.
