Usually, it's customary to give money (cash). Maybe you can get her something else with the money for her bat mitzvah.

Yes always bring a gift! That is the correct way.\n\nI always brought a food item to leave behind and a small gift.\n\nI often purchased several pretty "larger" fancy chrismas ornaments and put them in  "prewrapped in boxes" so if I needed a spare gift for the holidays there it is.  Put a note inside, wishing them happy holidays from the "blank" family.\n\nIf they are Jewish or do not celebrate Christmas, its a holiday party, then just bring food and a bottle of white wine,  That's safe!\n\nAlways be the "giver" and be prepared to have a wonderful time.!\n\nWe always had "canned food drives" at my Christmas Parties, so that we can give to others besides outselves.  I encourages them to bring their favorite food to share with us.

Get them a simple giftcard from a local store. Let them choose whatever they want.

You could give him a hand written card to thank him, being as specific as you can.  He might keep it and treasure it forever.

A great book would be a wonderful gift! Even magazines and other reading material, I think he'd enjoy. Stuff that they can really use. Even stuff like batteries are great because there are limited places they can buy that stuff for their personal use.\nPs. If you have any further questions, you can email me, if you'd like.\n*Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention... also phone cards! That's always a great gift! Or a portable DVD player (if you want to spend that much money).

Give what you can.  If it's only a card or small gift, so be it.  It's not about giving gifts, it's about giving of yourself.

A nice watch, or if he is a tool buff like me find out what tool he wants/needs. Maybe a Carhartt Jackett or some work clothes for when he's building, or a new pair of workboots. I'm the same way I like pratcial gifts that I can use.

I would say something related to religion. As someone suggested, maybe a nice cross necklace or a prayer book. Maybe a set of small angel statues (something like that), a nice rosary bracelet, something to do with angels (frames with inspiring messages, keychains, etc.). Hallmark might have something, if you prefer giving traditional gifts like that. I hope this helps.

Well, being a creative/visual kinda guy I would recommend a membership to a local museum!  Or depending on his medium, (computer graphics vs. paints and clays etc) get him a gift card to a software store or art supply store.  Movies and games are great, but you can never be sure what they have, and what they will be receiving from others.  This way he can go and choose it himself.\n\nHope This Helps,\nAmy

a gift card maybe like a 25 dollar one,you don't know him too well so you don't want to spend too much but you don't know where this is going so you don't want to get him a 5 dollar gift either.you can put it inside a card that says you're glad to have meet him or something like that.or you can put it inside a nice picture frame that way you can box it and it looks bigger.

It's not supposed to be about bringing the right gift, originally they brought live turkeys for goodness sake! If you can make a desert or something traditionally english take that! If not stick with the wine and tell them about asking what to bring on the internet, it's the thought that counts after all and you'll have a conversation starter!
