Do we give niece 13th birthday gift AND bat mitzvah gift?

[Anonymous]

The birthday and the bat mitzvah are about 2 months apart, and we will see her in person for both occasions.

Yes

Yes

Yes. I am not Jewish but I don't understand why this is even a question. The bat mitzvah is a significant religious event. Of course she should receive a separate gift for it.

[Anonymous]

Yes; these are two very different celebrations.

If her birthday was in a different month, it wouldn’t cross your mind not to give her a gift.

Yes, cheap-o. Those are two separate, milestone events.

[Anonymous]

Of course you cheap a$$.

[Anonymous]

Yes

You could split your budget in half to do one “half-priced” gift per event.

[Anonymous]

I would just give a birthday gift.

[Anonymous]

Of course not! Go with one big gift for the more important one and just give a card or nothing for the other.

2 months apart AND you see her in person both times? Of course. The birthday gift can be a 20 dollar item but you'd really not give her a present , when attending her birthday celebration, because MONTHS later she is going to have her bat mitzvah?

[Anonymous]

Yes. Why wouldn't you?

They don’t need anything for the Bar Matzah, just a birthday gift would suffice.
