There are so many gifts that a girl of 13 or in some synagogues, 12 would love to get for her Bat Mitzvah. Of course, all children in that age group love getting cash . . . and lots of it. This is one of those occasions that children take note of how much money they will get and they will spend hours planning on what they will do with it. Many kids are responsible and will put the money into a savings account and others will want to go right out and spend it on whatever item is currently “in”. |
Besides money, and there are many other gift ideas for your granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah. There are companies that specialize in gifts that celebrate religious occasions. Jewelry is one area that is very popular. Here you will find hundreds of different types of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, just to name a few. Many of the designs are Stars of David, hearts, Hamsa, and other religious designs. These pieces range from inexpensive costume jewelry to fine jewelry made of precious stones and metals.
Because she, undoubtedly, will be receiving many pieces of jewelry you may want to give her something beautiful to put them all in. Many religious supply stores, online stores, and even some jewelry stores will carry a selection of small, artfully decorated jewelry boxes. Many of these boxes are inlaid with contrasting materials or painted scenes of Bible stories.

| Another wonderful gift idea is to get her a set of Shabbat candlesticks. Shabbat candlesticks come in a wide variety of styles and sizes. Many of them are quite beautiful and are works of art in themselves. There are artisans who specialize in handmade pieces that are truly one of a kind. This would be a beautiful gift for her to be able to use as she grows older and some day begins her own family. |

Other gifts perfect for your granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah include beautifully designed yarmulkes, Torah pointers, prayer books, and women’s Tallit or Tallis bags and prayer shawls. These last items, the Tallis bags and prayer shawls come in such a wide variety of styles and colors that even if your granddaughter received more than one, odds are they would not be exactly the same.
Some other gift ideas for young teenage girls may be a bit more unorthodox, but are so unique that they may end up becoming the most appreciated. There are many companies online where you can purchase one single share of stock in many companies such as Tiffany’s or her favorite web based companies such as Google or Yahoo, or even her favorite restaurant or food companies like McDonald’s or Hershey. The company will purchase the stock for you and print it on a framed certificate. She will receive annual reports and dividends, if any and find pride in being one of the owners. Don’t be surprised if this doesn’t spur an interest in business. She may be asking for a subscription to the Wall Street Journal next.
