[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We give $36 to a classmate and $54 to a best friend. My kids (3) were each invited to a dozen plus and didn't have have $1k a year available for Bar/bat Mitzvah gifts.[/quote] +1 This is completely consistent with what DD received from friends when she became a Bat Mitzvah last year. For her close friends, DD also picked out something small/inexpensive but personal to go with the check. Some close friends reciprocated the personal gesture, some did not, and it was all fine! I seriously want to emphasize that no one’s judging or keeping tabs on the amount of people’s gifts, at least not in our circles. Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are incredibly meaningful to the families. Having our kids’ friends there to support them and celebrate with them is EVERYTHING!! The gift they bring is symbolic more than anything else. ($36 is perfect in our crowd and very much appreciated!!)[/quote]
