Precious gelt pail. Novak uses a silver-tone pail lined with petite pom-pom trim for gelt. "I like the sweet style of the pom-poms," she says. "They also add some movement and whimsy to a very simple setup. Fill the pail with gelt and sprinkle a handful around it, and you add so much sheen to the table."

prettyhappynut Thanks for featuring these great Chanuka decorating ideas! One year I decorated by filling clear vases with all the colorful dreidels we collected over the years. Also I wrapped various size shoe boxes in solid colors and set them out on the buffet table to add height for the various serving platters.
