Here's a closer look at each.

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #1: Custom Stationery

Let your favorite people express themselves in style with custom stationery. Choose from dozens of great designs in a whole rainbow of colors, add a great photo, or pick real foil for an additional splash of glitz and glam. Pick 5-inch-by-7-inch notecards with creatively styled edges (like flat ticket or flat vintage crest) or simple, straightforward square edges - either way, they come with premium envelopes (and you can even upgrade to printed envelopes if you'd like).

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #2: A "Year of Recipes" Calendar

Who says that recipes belong in cookbooks? You can share your family favorites with the people you care about using a Year of Recipes calendar - and if you're not much of a culinary expert, that's okay. The calendar comes pre-populated with great recipes, including some for homemade beef stew, easy mac & cheese and spring risotto. Check the recipes and see if they're right for the recipients; you can make adjustments or swap out recipes you don't want to include.

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #3: Acrylic Block Prints

Turn your favorite pictures into an unforgettable gift for someone you care about by choosing acrylic block photo prints. Photos come out with vivid color on these gallery-quality pieces. Each wall print comes with pre-installed mounting hardware, and each free-standing photo block is made from solid 0.75-inch plexiglass for extra durability. These contemporary picture gifts are great for family members and friends you don't see often, as well as for those you're closest to - and the best part is that all you need to do is upload your favorite picture.

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #4: "10 Reasons We Love You" Photo Books

Though there are uncountable reasons you love the people closest to you, "10 Reasons We Love You" photo books are an exceptional way to show your favorite family members and friends just how much you care. Choose from specialized templates designed for specific people or create your own, and gather inspiration from pre-set suggestions in each template if you need a nudge in the right direction (such as "I love you for the compassion and kindness you show others" and "I love that you never stop growing").

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #5: Curved Metal Prints

Personalize a metal print (or two, or three) for someone you love to give a truly unique gift. Ideal for tabletops and other surfaces, curved metal photo prints are durable, easy to clean, and always well-loved. Pick a family photo, one of you and your best friend together, or something else; simply upload your picture and we'll create this unique Hanukkah gift for you.

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #6: Instagram Photo Books

Whether it's your feed or someone else's, an Instagram photo book is a great way to commemorate all the adventures you've shared. Choose the right size, pick a finish (such as pearlescent or matte) and cover material, and upload your photos. You can easily re-order and group photos, use collages, and choose single-page layouts for extra-special pictures.

Unique Hanukkah Gift Idea #7: Family History Photo Books

Put your family lineage, stories, photos, census records and so much more in one easy-to-read book you can share with future generations. Family history photo books are a great way to celebrate the past and present side-by-side. You can show your family tree and include personalized stories, as well as share your ethnicity estimates from DNA testing, and create customized timelines that give future readers a glimpse into your family's journey.

You can make collages, include favorite sayings and quotes, and use special backgrounds and stickers to make your gift a spectacular display. You can even create several photo magnets and include them with Hanukkah cards to spread the love.
