We have been watching Christmas shows since July.  There are zero shows or anything for Hanukkah.  I am sure that there are a lot of a Jewish people who spend lots of money at QVC.  They sell Christmas wrapping for Hanukkah but what about those nice gift bags for Hannukah? It is insulting

@PA Girl 58  I just searched Hanukkah on QVC and found a page of items. But, I didn't see the blanket David Venable was showing last week. They must be sold out. I thought it was great! It was a deep blue with a large dreidel. I thought it was very pretty. I think QVC tries to bridge the whole holiday theme. They have come up with many decorative items that can be used for Christmas or Hanukkah, like VPH spheres, etc. I have also seen other Hanukkah sepcific items offered here and there mixed with Christmas items. I hope you find some things you can enjoy.

At the very least why can't some of the vendors offer just winter packages, as opposed to Christmas? I guess they feel it would not sell enough.

I agree it is not right.

 

I'm not Jewish but have friends who are and they shop at QVC too.

 

I remember they used to put a menorah out, so maybe they will at least do that as the season get closer,

Hanukkah is NOT the Jewish version of Christmas

I’m sorry but we don’t give gifts during Hanukkah? Dont be ignorant. It is just as important holiday to Jewish people as Christmas is to you.

Years ago there were a lot more products presented on-air for various religions' holidays, especially Hanukkah.

 

I always enjoyed them and have been disappointed that they seem to have dwindled over the years.

I enjoyed those shows as well and wish they would bring them back.

I don't believe she was being ignorant or demeaning to the importance of Hanukkah at all.  I am sure she knows about the gift giving of both Holidays.

 

 I also don't feel you needed to call derogatory names to another poster.

 

The story of Christmas and the story of Hanukkah are not the same, that could have been what she was referring to.

 

QVC has plenty of items on their webpage for all, including Buddha if you wish.

If they don't have what you want, I am sure other Internet sites do.

 

They devote air time to what they feel will produce the most sales, so possibly they don't see the profit margins.

 

They are trying to get the most sales possible and I'm sure not intending to insult anyone.  Their sets have usually been decorated for both.
