Do you find it challenging to find a meaningful present for a bar or bat mitzvah honoree? We’ve got you covered. Rather than a check or gift card in multiples of chai ($18), here are a few other options:

Bar and Bat Mitzvah Art
A laser-cut steel bar or bat mitzvah sculpture makes a beautiful special-occasion memento. The image sits atop a steel base and features a fused-glass accent bead. Personalize this keepsake to add an extra-special touch. ($30)

 

Aviva Torah Pointer
This beautiful Torah pointer from Nadav Art features a silver Jerusalem motif, which twists around the cylindrical shape. The top of the pointer has a cut-out decoration and the bottom features a textured design, representing the walls of Jerusalem, connected to a graceful silver hand. ($340)

Note: A variety of Torah pointers are available in multiple formats, from wood to pewter. Just do a search to find one to fit the recipient’s personality and your budget.

Shofar
Give your bar or bat mitzvah honoree a classic ram’s shofar. Its natural texture is intact through the base and it’s smoothly polished at the mouthpiece. A clear acrylic shofar stand is available for an additional charge. ($40)

Drone
What new adult wouldn’t want a drone? The Holy Stone F181 RC Quadcopter Drone with HD camera is not just a fun gadget. Space permitting, the bar or bat mitzvah honoree can use it to capture the celebration. Can you imagine the horah recorded from above? ($119.95)
