Hanukkah is full of joyous traditions, from latke-making to dreidel-playing, but there’s no ritual more important to the holiday than lighting the menorah —so you should buy one that suits your style. Sure, the heirloom your grandparents thoughtfully handed down to you is special, but it’s probably not your aesthetic. And you may not have the time or energy to devote to a DIY menorah project. Luckily, there are so many cool, contemporary menorahs available to purchase online.
Whether your home leans maximalist or minimalist, midcentury modern or boho, there is a modern menorah to match your vibe. You can get whimsical with Susan Alexandra’s pastel ice cream cone menorah, make a statement with Hannah Polskin’s wavy menorah sculpture, or keep it simple with West Elm’s geometric glass menorah. These options won’t only punch up the festival of lights — they’ll also double as home decor year-round. This year, Hanukkah starts on Wednesday, December 25, so make sure to invest in a design-forward menorah before the fun begins.

If you’re willing to splurge on a menorah, consider this marble and resin composite sculpture by Los Angeles–based multidisciplinary artist Hannah Polskin. It features brass candle holders for use during the holiday, but its squiggly shape is begging to be exhibited 365 days a year. We also think it’d make a particularly thoughtful wedding gift.

Though it’s an even bigger splurge than her classic menorah sculpture, Hannah Polskin’s collaboration with Amy Morgenstern of Kamp Studios is a worthwhile investment. The artists applied a custom mixture of molten bronze to achieve an antique effect that makes the wavy menorah look like it was recovered from the Second Temple.
