Hanukkah is coming and that means latkes, jelly donuts, chocolate coins, and, we can't forget, presents. Plus, this year, we are getting an extra gift to kick-start the holiday season: Season 3 of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" will premiere December 6 on Amazon Prime.

Do you know what that means? It means, "Simon says spin like a dreidel!"

There is no denying that the Amazon original is filled with jokes that all Jewish families can relate to. I'm the farthest thing from religious, my family barely celebrates the holidays, but being Jewish is in our blood and we can't run away from our cultural behaviors.

From the O Veys! to the dramatic moms, the show exposes what an Upper West Side Jewish family is really like.

Miriam (Midge) Maisel has all the hilarious qualities of an unorthodox, intelligent, strong Jewish divorcee and a gift suitable for her is ideal for any Jewish friend.

Here are 8 gifts for each day of Hanukkah that a Jewish American Princess, herself, would love:

A statement hat

Midge's impeccable style always includes a statement hat. Whether it's a floppy hat, a flat cap, or a French-style beret, her headdress is always on point.

While you're at it, grab a top handle bag, too.

Book of Jewish jokes

They, too, can become comedians.

Buy a book devoted to Jewish jokes here.

A gift card for a psychic reading

Everyone needs a go-to psychic.

A marvelous coffee mug


Susie Myerson had to make an appearance. What better way than with a cup of coffee and an inspirational quote?

Snag the coffee cup here.

A bagel and lox

Preferably a New York bagel.

50s-inspired bikini

Trip to the Catskills anyone?

Surprise your friend with this trendsetting bikini.

Mrs. Maisel pin

Have them pin it to their bag and witness Midge carry them throughout the day.

Purchase this one here.

A classic pastrami sandwich from your local Jewish deli

If you really want to go all out, make sure to grab a "hot pastrami Reuben on rye, chicken in a pot, potato knish, matzah ball soup, cheese Danish, a lime rickey, and a couple of black-and-whites for dessert."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
