Reader wants to find Hanukkah items
Dear Wendy,
My grandchildren are coming to visit for Hanukkah, and I would like to make our home festive for the holiday! Where can I find Hanukkah decorations, gifts and goodies?
Sue, West Greenwich
Dear Sue,
Thanks for writing – it is much easier and more fun to shop for Hanukkah goods than when I was growing up. Now, you can walk into CVS, Target, Crate and Barrel, and even the Christmas Tree Shops, and you can find Hanukkah decorations, candles, menorahs, books and more! Local markets including Eastside Marketplace, Stop and Shop, Davis Dairy as well as Books on the Square and Barrington Books carry many items, too. It is always nice to support our local agencies, synagogues, merchants and artists. Locally you can buy most anything from cards, to specialty Hanukkah chocolates to menorahs. Here are a few sales and shops that I am going to try and support this year!
