Gift Guide 2021: Prepare for
Early Chanukah
SASHA ROGELBERG | JE STAFF
W ith Chanukah sneaking up on us early this year, starting Nov. 28, we’re just
lucky the holiday is eight days long, giving procrastinators a wide window to
order their gift s in time for at least that fi nal night.

Dillydallyers, this is your sign to put off Chanukah shopping no more. Here’s a list of
last-minute gift s that are sure to please.

Embark DNA Test for Dogs
CookNSolo Gift Card
If your gift recipient is still chasing
after restaurants with that James
Beard pedigree, snag a gift card
for a CookNSolo restaurant from
three-time James Beard Award-
winners Michael Solomonov and
Steve Cook. To boot, Laser Wolf was just named as one of The
Philadelphia Inquirer’s “Craig Laban’s Top 10” restaurants in
Philadelphia in 2021. And maybe be extra proactive and snag
a reservation as well, so your loved one isn’t sitting down
to their free dinner deep into 2022. Gift cards start at $15 at
cooknsolo-store.myshopify.com. 6

From two-Michelin star restau-
rant Momofuku Milk Bar in New
York City and two-time James
Beard Award winner Christina Tosi
comes the Milk Bar Sampler. The
sampler comes with three-packs
of birthday and chocolate birthday
truffl es, a slice of Milk Bar pie and
a six-pack of assorted cookies — a
break from Chanukah’s fried-food
tradition, but delicious nonetheless. The $54 box is available at
milkbarstore.com. Dreidel Roulette
If the Yud-Gimmel-Hey-Shin-schtick has gotten boring after years
of dreidel-playing, up the ante with Dreidel Roulette. By spinning
the dreidel in the center of the table, the dreidel will knock the
game’s wooden balls into numbered and colored cavities. And
you could make the argument that chocolate gelt looks an awful
lot like chips ... The game can accommodate infi nite players (in
theory) and is an economical $26 at shopnmajh.com/.

With the growing popularity of DNA kits like 23andMe to trace
Jewish ancestry, Embark wants to do the same for your furry
family members. By processing a small mouth swap, Embark
can identify the breed of your pooch and whether they have
relatives who have also used Embark. Whether your canine is
a Pekingese, German Shepherd or mutt, rest assured knowing
that no matter what, your dog is 100% Jewish. You can buy it for
$149 at chewy.com.
