Three Menorahs by Letizia Rossi

Even goyim can appreciate the charm of lighting menorahs during dark winter months. These three—whether tongue-in-cheek, made from inventive materials or an unobtrusive modular set— lend just the right amount of irreverence for surviving the season.

Acrylic Menorah
This acrylic menorah (pictured above left) by Italian design team Sawaya & Moroni combines a classic shape with modern materials. Reminiscent of the Mahua Huni acrylic candelabras by Ingrid Goessner (also produced by Sawaya & Morni), the mango- colored menorah adds high design to Hanukkah celebrations. Available online from Barneys for $400.

Minimalist Menorah
This minimalist menorah (pictured above center) from Urban Outfitters offers a sleek design with an equally minimalist price tag. The kit includes nine glass cubes that can be configured and six different shades of candles. Available online for $20.

Last Match Menorah
The clever Last Match Menorah (pictured above right) by Kathleen Walsh adds some humor to the "festival of lights." The base is made from clear white pine wood and the oil candles can burn for up to eight hours before being refilled. Available in black or red from Unica Home for $240.

Fun Night Lights
Okay, it's a generic title but there's something to be said for these bizarre night lights that are liable to scare a small child worse than whatever's lurking in the closet. The purplish plasma bulb takes on a Frankenstein-esque quality while the fiber-optic blue looks like the head from a sci-fi Muppet character or Mystery Science Theater 3000. For only $12 for the pair,...
Artist Beach Towels
A huge hit at the Deitch/Paper store that took place last week in Miami during Art Basel, these artist-designed beach towels ($50) are for those who want to wrap themselves in art. Featuring works by Alex Katz, Marilyn Minter, Richard Phillips and Rob Pruitt (pictured above from L-R), the towels are gigantic (measuring 60"x70"), soft and the colors look great in terry cloth. Though...
Bark Blankets
Minus the mania of other traffic-heavy NYC hoods, Atlantic Ave is Refinery29's current front-runner for civilized gift-getting.
