We used to make gifts for people. Book marks and bead bracelets, that kind of thing. We'd give chocolates for Hanukkah. My Mum used to buy a big tub of chocolates and we'd make small packages of them with cellophane, ribbon and paper doilies, kind of like little wedding favours. Then we'd give them to relatives and friends on the eight nights.
