Do NOT bring a birthday gift. A check in multiples of 18 is appropriate. (18 is a very lucky number in Judaism.)

Money or gift card. Do not give some toy or gadget. Save that for the birthday party.

Typical is a check for $36 or gift card. The check generally goes into the college fund while the child can spend the gift card. Few bring actual wrapped gifts, though there will be a few. Anything is appreciated but a gift is definitely appropriate as this is a HUGE milestone in the child’s life.

Give a multiple of 18 if you give cash.

A check or gift card in a card is pretty standard.

Do kids typically bring presents? My son has never been to one before but will be attending a bat mitzvah soon. What is the expected gift protocol?
