Every year, I tell myself I have enough menorahs. And every year, Hanukkah rolls around and I end up getting at least two or three new ones (and also making at least one DIY one). I can’t help it. I love a good menorah.
Some would argue that we need more light this year than ever, and the logical conclusion of that statement would be that you need to get more menorahs, all the menorahs. With that in mind, here are some of my favorite menorahs on the internet.

Budget-friendly options
There are two banorahs — as in, banana menorahs — on this list. One is in the budget section, and one is in the way more expensive range. I would argue that the ultimate banorah costs less than a dollar and is made out of an actual banana. Either way, I love this yellow delight.
This isn't the most aesthetic of menorahs, but it's both affordable and a great electric option for those who want some light without fire.
Another stately budget option, this engraved menorah has that "wow factor" as one reviewer wrote, while still being affordable. Overall, reviewers seem happy with this menorah, although one suggested lining the candle holders with foil to make cleaning easier.
Minimalist and lovely
This two-piece menorah comes in a clean geometric design with a lovely geometric texture.
Jonathan Adler has managed to design animal menorahs that are so minimalist and elegant that they already feel like a Hanukkah classic.
Maximalist and colorful
Yair Emmanuel's menorahs are unparalleled in their vibrancy — they really have all the colors, all the animals and all the fun.
The Barbra Streisand of menorahs, if you will (I can see it being featured in her basement mall), this one is really a splurge and all out there in its beauty.
As its name suggests, Susan Alexandra's newest menorah feels like riding a rollercoaster. It's just so fun and colorful, your kids won't be able to stop staring.
This wooden menorah holds tapered candles and will make you feel like you're celebrating Hanukkah in a Jane Austen novel.
Probably the most out of the park (see what I did there???) option on this list, this menorah is literally a baseball bat, and the shamash lies on an actual baseball.
This cake menorah can just hang out in your house and look gorgeous all year round. And on Hanukkah, you lift up the little pink frosting decorations to reveal a place for eight candles and a shamash. Pure genius.
This menorah has me hypnotized.
Sometimes you just need a giant pickle at the center of your holiday table.
Sometimes you just need a knob with lumps that has the juice to light candles on. Also this menorah bears the Susan Alexandra designer's real last name, Korn, which makes it extra fun.
For the kiddos
This caterpillar's cute eyes looked deep into my soul and now we are best friends. This is the most adorable kids' menorah you could buy and is pretty fairly priced, too.
I love this design that comes in many different colors and that feels a bit like making Hanukkah into a Lego game for kids.
You can customize these menorahs with your children's names, making them into family heirlooms for all times.
The dinosaur menorah is now a Hanukkah classic and for good reason: It's fierce, it's grand and it's beloved by kids like mine who will happily spew random facts about T-Rexes as they light it, like the fact that the carnivores probably honked, not roared.
DIY menorahs
Another nonflammable option, this menorah made out of wood will be fun to make for your young kids, and then delightful to "light" with its wooden candles on Hanukkah — as long as you keep it away from your actual menorah collection.
This ceramic menorah comes with paints and sparkles and a fun activity booklet. It's a way to get a new menorah and fill an afternoon.
Is your kid obsessed with Legos? Mine certainly is. This menorah is a fun, non-flammable option.
