[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than cash gifts in multiples of 18, what is an appropriate gift?[/quote]

Gift Cards for a store that they may want to buy a big present. My son wanted golf clubs so a couple of his friends gave him a gift card to a golf store.

Time to celebrate materialism
But if that really was your goal, then why have a party like that when the kid is not old enough to handle larger sums.
I would guess any gift that you thought was appropriate 2 years ago would be fine.
Kills me to think the family is trying to give a show for money. Like that family from wife-swap tv-show, who planned a $50K bar mitzvar for their son that they could not afford, and then the host man from the swap got to descide how they spend the money[/quote]

The fact you don't know me or my family and can be so critical and nasty is beyond me. Our goal was for my son who had been ill, to celebrate a pretty important occasion in our lives and his. we have lots of older relatives and our celebration was a wonderful occasion for all of us to celebrate something happy and together. If his friends wanted to do something nice for him and that gift would mean something to him, why does that make you jump to show for materialism. You can think all you want it is a show for money. for us it was to celebrate life and happiness. Since you weren't there you don't have any idea what we did.[/quote]
