[quote=Anonymous]No idea what forum to post this in but thought this was the best place to start.

DD attends a DC private (made possible from generous financial aid).

She's been invited to the bat mitzvah of one of her classmates.  This particular family is very wealthy and have obviously planned a masive and beautiful party.

The parents themselves our wonderful - DD and the classmate are good friends and the parents of DD's friends are very nice people.

Which is to say this question is not one that comes from a place of negativity/hostility/class warefare or anything like that.

I'm just asking, in a totally genuine way, what would be a good gift that we could provide.

I'm aware there are some parents who are tight in their own friend groups and i guess it's the norm to contribute for expensive pieces of jewellery.  My husband and I aren't part of those groups and haven't been asked to contribute (a relief!).

We're not a "poor" family - so we can send DD with a gift - we're just a family who wouldn't be able to afford the private DD is at without aid, if that makes any sense.

Can anyone who has been through the "big party" bat mitzvah's offer any advice.  [/quote]
