Gift giving this time of year can be difficult for some because it’s so hard to pin down the perfect present for those you care about. For some people, the gift giving and receiving goes on for 8 days, which makes it even harder to shop for gifts. One of those lucky schmucks is Drake. To celebrate his successful year and chart-topping sophomore album, we’ve decided to come up with gift ideas for your favorite Jewish rapper.
The problem is, what do you give a guy who has everything? Thankfully, this year Drake has given us an ample amount of ideas. If you haven't been paying attention to all things Drake, here’s a list of 8 Gifts To Give Drake For Hanukkah.
Gloves
Driving Gloves
Drake’s added a signature look to his style this year—sports gloves. We caught him premiering his first pair during the “Headlines” video, and now he's rocking them everywhere. His new favorite accessory is not going anywhere soon. But we have to say, sports gloves aren’t really a good look for everyday wear, so we suggest giving his gloves an upgrade with a pair of classic driving gloves. They look much better with everyday outfits.

Jimi Hendrix Photograph
Jimi Hendrix Photograph
“I'm Drizzy Drake to my old bitches, Voodoo Child to my new hoes.” Yes, Drake is a big fan. He’s visited the guitar legend's grave, uses Voodoo Child as his DJ moniker, and gets hyped up for shows by watching Jimi Hendrix’s Woodstock performance. Get him a photograph of his favorite Hendrix moment so he can hang it up in his home for all to see.

Tissue Box
Tissue Box
Pouring your heart out and writing all your built up emotions on paper could cause streams of tears to run down your face. With many observers saying the latest album Take Care contains more singing than rapping, and decidedly emotional songs like Marvin's Room, who knows how many tears were shed while writing that album? So it’s always good to keep some tissues around just in case.

Sweaters
Missoni Sweater
Other than Biggie with his Coogi sweaters, nobody’s ever entered the hip-hop stratosphere with a serious knit game. Drake’s sweater game has become a serious topic of discussion—mostly for laughs —but he’s proud of his adopted senior citizen style. And if there’s any sweater in his closet that he loves the most he would go for his Missoni collection. He loves them so much he’s even interested in doing a collabo, Drake x Missoni, how does that sound?

Stripper Pole
Stripper Pole and Platinum Grip
He writes about them, he frequents them, and he "knows them strippers by their real names." O.K., Drake loves strip clubs, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Who doesn’t? Since he already revealed that he wants to install an LED lit, multi-lavender spraying shower in his home, this glowing LED strip pole should fit right into his dream home. Why go to the strip club when you can bring the girls and the club to you? The platinum grip is an extra precaution, just to make sure the girls get a good hold of that pole. Last thing you want to happen is a stripper suing you.

Tennis Racket
Tennis Racquet
Drake’s been putting in some serious work on the clay courts this summer with none other than Serena Williams. Whatever happens off court is a different story. The two have been exchanging volleys and Drake even tweeted that he was going to “put it on [her] and make [her] sweat.” If Drizzy is to keep up with the multiple Grand Slam winner, he’s going to need a serious racket set-up.

Versace shirts
Versace Barrocco Print Shirts
Taking style cues from rappers before him like Jay-Z and Biggie who donned the Versace look in the '90s, Drake rang in his 25th with a blue Versace shirt. Help him add to his collection with this vintage gold number.

Candles
Scented Candles
It was a tie between scented candles and a 4-pack of chapstick that stood out on Drake’s dressing room demands. But since we already know Drake loves him some scents, we went with candles. Plus, it shows a little more effort than going to the local pharmacy to pick up some chapstick.
