what to send to OOT bat mitzvah?

[Anonymous]

Our dear niece is having her bat next weekend in the Bay Area and I’ve no idea what to send. My sister of course is no help and says she doesn’t need a thing. Of course, that isn’t the point, is it. Would like to send something nice but also what a teen would want. Flowers and $324 (or more?)?
What sort of flowers if so?
Or some other delivery?
What’s an out-of-touch aunt to do?

Thank you!

Adding that we are not traveling for it due to my husband’s surgery. Wish we could.

You aren’t going so you don’t need to do anything. Just a nice bouquet of spring flowers if you must.

Really?

Just send a check in a card. No flowers.

Thank you. What’s the going rate or range these days from an aunt and uncle?

I think $324 from an Aunt and Uncle is perfect.

And I think the flowers make it more personal, but send after all the festivities so she can really enjoy them. Watch the service virtually (if you can) and then send the flowers on Monday saying she did a great job!

You could order her a personalized dainty piece of jewelry like a stamped necklace with her name in English or Hebrew—I also received a menorah for my bat mitzvah I used for many years to come. Or maybe a gift certificate to an online judaica store.

Such lovely ideas, thank you!

Some people send $2,000 and some send $20. Who do you want to be?

Where did the oddly precise $324 figure come from?

Multiples of 18 are common, and that is 18x18.
