I would find a good Judaica store - I'm sure there are plenty on LI - they will have lots of appropriate gifts for baby.

I like the idea of getting a "kids" menorah especially for baby - there are a lot of cute ones out there for kids, and a family can never have too many menorahs!

Another non-parent crashing.

I think its a great idea to send something in celebration of both holidays. We are inter-faith, and I know how much I would appreciate that gesture when the time comes for us to have a little one.

My suggestion would be a child's menorah, that they can light every year at Chanukah time. I made one as a little girl in preschool that my parents still have.

Here are a few ideas:

These are adorable! I would definitely get something like this for Chanukah. This is something a child can appreciate and use each year.

A mezuzah is a good idea too. I'm Jewish, but DH isn't. I'm not overly religious, but I've always had a mezuzah wherever I've lived.

I have one of those menorahs with a train on it, and the quality is terrible. Its adorable, but the pain came off when I cleaned the wax off with hot water.

Make sure you get one thats good quality!!

I don't know where you live but if you're looking for mezuzahs or menorahs for kids there's a store in Merrick called Yussell's Place. They also have a website. I'm not sure if it's spelled with 1 or 2 l's.
