Bar Mitzvah Query

Avocado is going to the bar mitzvah of one of her best buddies at school on Saturday. She wants to know what she should give him (other than the traditional $$). Anyone have any thoughts? The only bar mitzvah (or bat mitzvah) gifts I have given have been as an adult to a younger person, not as peer to peer, so I am Dept. of Clueless. All suggestions cheerily entertained.

ETA I should add that the celebrant is male, so spa gift certificates are kind of out. And, while she considers him a good friend, the question "What is he into?" got a vacant, panicked shrug and the question, "Can't I give money? He can always use money!" So that's our fallback position, but I have to say it seems a little impersonal to me. Kids these days.

Well, Ain't that America?

Obama today (aside from taking the oath of office again to assuage the wingnuts) made firm commitments to transparency; froze his immediate staff's salaries, told lobbyists when and where they can work in his administration, and--oh, yeah, gave the order to close Guantanamo within 365 days (sooner rather than later, I hope...but I do understand why they can't just shoo everyone out, give them a plane ticket, and say "Seeya bye! Been fun!").

Still living in the land of hope and possibility.
