When is the eight days of Hanukkah begin?

There are no rules about Hanukkah presents.

Some families exchange presents, and some do not. Gift giving is most common among American and Canadian Jews, but it's a custom that only started a few decades ago due to influence from Christmas.

If gifts are exchanged, they are usually given each night during the 8 nights of the holiday. There is no rule about how many presents are given each night, but it is often 1 per night.

Answer:The only traditional gift during Hanukkah is the gelt (coins) given to children.
