Bas Mitzvah Gifts
Bas mitzvah gifts she’ll actually keep
A bas mitzvah is quieter than a bar mitzvah — usually a family seudah, a school celebration, or both. But the gifts matter just as much. She’s starting her adult mitzvah-life: lighting candles, keeping Shabbos on her own terms, davening with her own siddur. A thoughtful gift recognizes that moment.
If you’re the parents
Shabbos candlesticks are the classic parents’ gift. Many families give a girl her own pair at bas mitzvah — small enough for her room now, beautiful enough to carry into her own home someday. Sterling silver is the heirloom choice; silver-plate or brass is perfectly respectable for a first pair.

A siddur — a quality bound Artscroll or Koren women’s siddur, optionally name-stamped. She’ll use it every day.
If you’re a grandparent
Classic grandparent bas mitzvah gifts:
- Candlesticks — if the parents aren’t giving them, this is the grandparent’s gift to give. Sterling silver from Hadad Bros is an heirloom.
- Tehillim — a beautifully bound pocket Tehillim. Many girls start saying Tehillim regularly at this age.
- Shabbos jewelry — a Star of David pendant, a Shema ring, or a Hamsa necklace in gold or silver.
- Tzedakah box — a personal tzedakah box for her room, in silver or painted ceramic.
