[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$50 is really too little, IMO. I grew up in a wealthy area in NY, and got bat miztvah'd in 1989. I think ONE friend gave me $72, two sisters gave me a gold bracelet, and everyone else gave $90 or $108. So to give $50 NOW, seems way too low. FYI, if your kid isn't close with the kid who invited them, they don't have to go (and thus, don't have to give a gift). [/quote] I could have written this. I was shocked to read $50 based on the same experience. Grew up on the upper east side and went to over 90 bar and bat mitzvahs in the mid-1990s. Our “go to” gift was a Tiffany’s bracelet - the chain link one with the tag you can get a name on. Can’t remember how much it was but it was around $100, I think. Just looked it up and it’s now $400. I’d say at least half of people would get something from Tiffany’s for girls. [/quote] But doesn’t that mean girls usually ended up with multiple of the same Tiffany pieces? How many Tiffany bracelets does a girl need?[/quote]
