A Hanukkah gift for a business client in Israel should look considered, travel well and be easy to accept: a kosher box in the ₪78–₪150 range (VAT-inclusive for private buyers) with candles for the eight nights, something to taste and a card in your own name. Below are four boxes, cheapest first, delivered anywhere in Israel in about 3–8 days. If you are ordering from abroad, our guide to sending gifts to Israel explains how the whole process works before you choose.

Hibuk Otef — The Story Behind Every Gift

Hibuk Otef (“Enveloping Embrace”) is a unique boutique gift initiative that brings together products from the communities of the Gaza Envelope and Israel’s southern and northern frontier, alongside works of art that commemorate the beauty of the region. The project was founded to support local producers, farmers and entrepreneurs who were affected. 60% of revenues go directly to producers from the affected communities.

What makes a good Hanukkah gift for a business client?

Thoughtful, kosher and impossible to misread. Hanukkah 2026 begins on the evening of 04.12.26, and Israeli offices slow down for the week, so a box that arrives in the first days of December is opened by the client and shared with the team. Choose something that needs no preparation, carries a story and is kosher under local rabbinate supervision, most of it Badatz, so no one has to ask whether they can eat it. Avoid logos bigger than a card, alcohol for clients you do not know well, and anything that has to be refrigerated. A single sentence in your own words, such as “thank you for a year of working together,” does more than any branded item. Delivery is ₪45 before VAT (₪53.10 with VAT) per address, and you may order any quantity.

How to choose by budget

Match the box to the weight of the relationship. Every box below includes the 44 “By the Light of Ofir” Hanukkah candles, and prices are VAT-inclusive, as private buyers see them on the site. Companies see the ex-VAT price plus 18% VAT at checkout and receive a tax invoice.

Rom Hanukkah Box — ₪78

A graceful thank-you for a contact you see a few times a year. In a designed box (18×35×10 cm) you get the 44 candles and two 170 g fruit preserves with no preservatives, in flavors such as strawberry, forest fruit, blueberry or orange. The Rom Hanukkah Box is the practical pick when you are sending to many clients at once.

Itamar Hanukkah Box — ₪88

Candles plus something sweet. It adds a 170 g fruit preserve and either a 100 g pack of dark-chocolate-coated snack puffs or a 100 g hand-made chocolate bar from the north. The Itamar Hanukkah Box suits a client contact who will put it on the office table for everyone.

Roi Hanukkah Box — ₪145

The one that feels like a proper gift. Inside: the 44 candles, a 200 g roasted nut mix with pistachios, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts and pecans, 250 ml of cold-pressed olive oil from Gaza Envelope groves, a 170 g fruit preserve and chocolate-coated nuts (or a hand-made chocolate bar). The Roi Hanukkah Box works for key accounts and long-standing suppliers.

Ofir Light Hanukkah Box — ₪150

The most complete option, with a candle for the desk. You get the 44 candles, an aromatic candle poured in a glass jar from the “Boys of Light” project, a 120 g hand-made chocolate bar with nuts and Galilee honey, and a fruit preserve with no preservatives. The Ofir Light Hanukkah Box is the one to choose for senior contacts and partners.

The makers behind the box

Every item has a named origin, and about 60% of what you pay reaches producers directly. On a ₪150 box that is roughly ₪90 going to Envelope and northern communities instead of to a middleman.

Ofir fund — the “By the Light of Ofir” candles remember Ofir Libstein, a community leader who fell in October 2023 defending Kibbutz Kfar Aza; each candle box includes a donation to the fund that continues his work in Gaza-border communities.
Boys of Light (Naarei HaOr), Reshafim — the aromatic jar candle comes from a project that supports the Reshefon healing farm for trauma survivors.
Gaza Envelope olive growers — the 250 ml of extra-virgin, cold-pressed oil in the Roi box comes from groves in the Envelope, a region that still needs customers more than sympathy.
Northern chocolate makers — the hand-made bars use Galilee honey and nuts, so the order supports the north as well as the south.

Tips for sending client gifts in Israel

Order early, send to the office and keep the card personal. Hanukkah is busy for couriers, so ordering at least a week before the 04.12.26 start is safe, ideally by the end of November. Confirm each recipient’s office address and a phone number for the courier, and write a separate card text per address if you wish. For gifts to a team or an employer, see our guides to a Hanukkah gift for a boss, bulk Hanukkah gifts for companies and the full Hanukkah gifts to Israel guide.
