I compared Target's and Walmart's Hanukkah sections, and Walmart's quirky items are perfect for Hanukkah parties

My first stop for Hanukkah shopping was Target in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

The Target had a giant holiday section with aisles of seasonal items, but I didn't see any Hanukkah supplies there.

Another Target employee suggested trying a different holiday display near the household essentials, but there was no sign of Hanukkah there, either.

Finally, a third Target employee looked up where to find the Hanukkah shelves and located them tucked away at the end of an aisle.

They had a plethora of gold menorahs retailing for $15, as well as candles.

The Hanukkah section featured a dreidel game set for $5.

Target also had chocolate coins known as Hanukkah gelt.

They even had a "Mitzvah Moose," a blue stuffed animal with light-up candles on its antlers.

While Target had all of the Hanukkah essentials, I found the Hanukkah shelves to be pretty sparse.

Next, I drove a little further down the road to Walmart.

There were a few Hanukkah-themed items scattered around the store, but a Walmart employee promptly directed me to the Hanukkah shelves amid the seasonal products.

Walmart's Hanukkah section was also small, but it appeared to be better stocked than the one at the Target I had visited.

Walmart's silver menorahs appeared to be inspired by tree trunks.

Walmart also had a portable electric menorah for those who might be traveling during the holiday.

Hanukkah-themed stemless glasses, which were actually plastic, retailed for $1.97.

Walmart's Hanukkah section had tons of holiday decor, which I didn't find at the Target I visited.

This 6-foot Hanukkah banner cost $4.97.

Some of the Hanukkah decorations veered into Christmas territory, like ceramic light-up Hanukkah trees and Hanukkah gnomes reminiscent of Santa Claus.

Walmart didn't stock dreidels or gelt, but I appreciated its vibrant Hanukkah aisle.

After comparing the experiences at the stores I visited, I preferred Walmart's quirky, easy-to-locate Hanukkah collection.
