Winter Holiday Magazine
For Your In-Laws
You always need to please them, right? Perhaps even more than your parents.

But before we get to the items that Kreider does recommend, we should be
clear about one that she doesn’t: the Weitzman’s Pain in the Tuchas mug. Do
not get your in-laws a Pain in the Tuchas mug.

OK, now for the good ideas. There are Jewish calendars, autographed cook-
books by Joan Nathan and Deb Perelman and more than 200 Ashkenazi herbal
items. For Your Children
Let’s assume they are still young and
will appreciate everything. For the really
young, Kreider suggests bibs, including
one that says, “Schmutz Happens.” For
the slightly older, she recommends books.

And for those old enough to both read and
build stuff , she off ers kids’ books, build-
your-own menorahs and baseball cards,
among other items.

For Your Siblings
The Jewish Exponent has a mature audience,
so by siblings here, we mean young adult or even adult siblings. What do your
brothers and sisters still need to, as the millennials say, adult?
Maybe they do not have a menorah, Kreider says. Or perhaps they still need
a mezuzah, she adds. Or maybe they just need candles to put in the menorah
and light it up, she concludes.

Point being, your siblings may not be great at adulting just yet. Help them
out in the Jewish sense.

“Something people always mean to get and don’t get themselves,” Kreider
said. For Your Extended Family Member
If your extended family is like mine, you do whatever the Jewish version
of a Secret Santa is each year. And this is a little harder than a normal gift
purchase. But the Weitzman has a few creative answers.

There’s a “Smitten Kitchen” cookbook with rec-
ipes “where you don’t have to be a chef
to follow them,” Kreider said. There are
“Freudian Slippers” through which your
toes can make the legendary
psychologist’s tongue wag
at the front, and there’s
a “banned books”
mug listing out titles
that will make your
gift recipient look
smart. JE
