I know, I know...Halloween is not even here and already we're diving headfirst into holiday picks. But it's hard to resist when it's a Hanukkah goodie as cool as these dreidels. Made by artist Val Glaser, who does all kinds of cool custom things with LEGOs, her LEGO dreidel set shown above is so cool -- but sadly not available since this post was first published in 2012. You can contact her for custom projects, but in the meanwhile we found these options below for 2023: LEGO dreidel from Eagle Bricks on Etsy in your choice of colors As an alternative, we've found this LEGO dreidel on Etsy from Eagle Bricks, in your choice of colors. They're not super cheap, but each one donates $2 to a charity this year and helps support a small business.
