Here's my list of top Bar and Bat Mitzvah gifts, coming from a girl who's been through it all.

Boy's Hakotel Necklace with Chain by Neta Yehiely

"I had a BAR MITZVA and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." OK, the Rabbi might not love it, but for a Bar Mitzvah boy with a sense of humor, why not go for a smile? He'll receive plenty of checks and Judaica anyway.

Bible Heroines Bookends - Bat Mitzvah Gift
First to recommend
Description
For the Bat Mitzvah girl who loves to read, and who you want to see be a reader for life. These bookends are handcrafted rolled copper in the shape of an open Torah set with silk-screened marble. The metal is then powder-coated for a more durable finish. You may commemorate a Bat Mitzvah by further personalizing your gift with the name and date of the event. In place of the names of Bible Heroines, you can order the Haftorah portion that is read at the Bat Mitzvah.
This set features two bookends - one with an illustration of a Bat Mitzvah girl holding the Torah and your choice of one bookend with the names of Bible Heroines (in Hebrew and English). It makes a wonderful Bat Mitzvah or birthday gift. Commemorate further by personalizing your gift with the name and date of the event (added on a brass plaque under the illustration).
