Picking gifts for an eight-day holiday can be daunting. These guidelines will help.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A modest gift
A charitable donation
Something educational
Gelt
A religious book or toy
An eco-friendly item
A family outing
One extravagance

Step 1: Start out modestly

Start out by giving them something they've been asking for that's modestly priced.

Step 2: Be charitable

Underscore the spirituality of the season by making a donation in their name to charity.

Tip: A child might like a donation they can picture, like a farm animal for a family in a developing nation, while a teen might enjoy a donation made to their favorite celebrity's cause.

Step 3: Make it educational

Make the third gift something educational that is still fun -- a toy or game that provides a mental workout.

Step 4: Give them gelt

On the fourth night, give them gelt -- a Yiddish word for money -- in the form of cash, chocolate coins, or both.

Step 5: Reinforce your religion

Reinforce Hanukkah's religious nature by giving them a book, game, video, or toy related to Judaism.

Step 6: Be kind to the planet

Be kind to the planet by giving them something eco-friendly on the sixth night.

Step 7: Give an experience

Give the gift of a shared experience by presenting the entire family with tickets to the theater, a concert, or a sporting event. Or give everyone an IOU for a future outing.

Step 8: Save the best for last

End the holiday on a high note by giving the children one extravagance that they'll cherish.
