My husband's co-worker is a non-religious man in his 60's. For the past three years him and his wife have been coming to us for yom tov meals. The past few times they have brought their married daughter and grandchild along. Unfortunately, the daughter is married to a non-jew. They are all coming to me for a supper on Chanukah (even the non-jewish son-in-law for the first time.)
I want to get the daughter & her husband a small Chanukah gift (think $20-25). I usually get the parents something with a Jewish twist, but I'm not sure it will be appropriate.
Wondering if you have any ideas what I can get her. I thought of a scarf or perfume but that is leaving the husband out and I don't want him to feel bad.

I would think dinner out in a kosher restaurant, but even milchigs 20-25 is too little.
Maybe a gift certificate for babysitting?

They come to you and your gifting them?
I dont get that...
But , I think if you are gifting them something, I would gift thier child a book about chanukah & chanka game
Or a child themed menorah ( they make menorahs devoratrd with bears, trains, basketballs, ballets shoes.. Ect) so that they can help the child light & get involved.
That child is jewish, and you can help him/her connect a little more.

And I think it is very appropriate, and expected, that a religious woman on her holiday is gifting a holiday related gift.
Just because the sil is a non jew, hes not going to be left out, hes married to a jew and so to him he probably associates himself with, or at the very least accepts, judaism. Getting them a gift they can toss as just another item is such a waste. Your their conmection to Hashem, to meaning. Get them something meaningful .

I agree on a regular yom tov you don't have to give them back a bottle of wine for their bottle of wine, but isn't chanukah a time to exchange gifts with your friends, especially if they live in the non-religious non jewish/world.
