Couples setting up their registry often forget to add holiday-focused items. For those who celebrate Jewish holidays such as Hanukkah, unique menorahs should definitely be included on their registry list. However, these special candleholders often look, well, kind of the same, and couples with a distinctive design style may prefer more modern menorahs rather than the more old-school classic varieties. Fortunately, there are lots of options to choose from. We scoured our favorite retailers to find some of the most unique menorahs around, from botanical to colorful and more.
