Best Bat Mitzvah Gifts

Can you believe the little girl is celebrating her Bat Mitzvah?

Time sure flies, doesn’t it?

Tell me about it…

I remember my Bat Mitzvah as if it were yesterday (we’re talking almost 17 years ago… yikes!).

… The party (especially my awkward dance)

… The trip I took to Israel that summer

… The gifts I got for my Bat Mitzvah (the special ones, anyway)

Noticed how I highlighted the “gifts” part? That’s because today’s topic is… Bat Mitzvah gifts!

More specifically…

  • “What’s an appropriate gift for a Bat Mitzvah?”
  • “What are the absolute best Bat Mitzvah gift ideas that SHE will remember 17 years from now?”
  • “How do you avoid choosing yet-another-average present she’ll never actually use?”

Forget about those cliche presents most guests will bring (c’mon, you know it’s true).

I want you to feel proud when you hand over your present.

I want you to witness her big, authentic smile when she opens her Bat Mitzvah present (or at least get an exciting phone call the next day).

THAT’S exactly the type of gifts I’m about to show you in this Bat Mitzvah gift guide…

Sukkah Decorations

Sukkot is (almost) here…

We get to sit in a Sukkah for 7 days – just like our Jewish forefathers did in the desert after they left Egypt.

How exciting!

Or is it…?

Well, that depends:

  1. … Is your Sukkah so boring and dull that you can’t stand to spend 7 minutes inside, let alone 7 days?
  2. … Or is it so fun, beautiful and appealing that it makes you want to stay there all day, every day (and forget all about your cozy little bed)?

If you like how #2 sounds – then my friend, get ready to decorate your Sukkah… big time!

By the time you finish going through these Sukkah decorations – you’ll be able to make your Sukkah so appealing that your friends & family will flock to your Sukkah (and not run off to your neighbor’s Sukkah).

P.S Don’t worry, I’ll show you how you can let the kids do most of the work while you’re chilling on the beach drinking Mojitos 😈 (just kidding…).
