20 Best Bat Mitzvah Gifts to Honor Her Major Milestone
Both religious and non-religious, these picks are destined for heirloom status.
By 
Becoming a bat mitzvah is one of the most significant milestones in Jewish life cycle events. According to Jewish law, it's when a girl becomes a woman. And it represents a lot of hard work following years of committed study. It's standing up in front of congregants and loved ones and boldly reading and chanting from the Torah, and sharing a hand-penned speech — all at 13 years old. It's all of this, plus she's a teenager now. So yes, it's a very big deal!
Naturally, you want to honor the huge achievement with the perfect present. These best bat mitzvah gifts strike just the right note, whether you're seeking a religious object (like a kiddush cup, Torah pointer, or Shabbat candlesticks), a decorative piece of Judaica (like jewelry with a star of David, chai, or hamsa motif) — or even a special present unrelated to Judaism. Most gifts on our list ring in under $50 (with some options even under $10), and none are over $100, so you won't have to break the bank to make her feel special on this most important day.
