Anon just in case anyone knows my story...
I lived with a family a few years ago who reaaally helped me out. It was only for a few months, but they had a big hand in marrying me off, made my vort, etc. I am not really in touch with them now, but it's the type that we would reconnect quickly if I were to see them again. They live in Brooklyn and I am in Queens, which means I should be seeing them more than I do, but it's been a while. Well, tonight is the Bar Mitzva of their youngest son, who is a sweetheart but has a definite "personality". I really wanted to go to Brooklyn tonight for the seuda but between everything going on, it didn't happen. I would really like to send something to show I care and I'm thinking about them, especially him because we had a pretty special relationship. Does anyone have any good ideas for a not standard Bar Mitzva gift? Something you might give to your younger brother for his Bar Mitzva? Anything nice your sons have gotten? Also keep in mind, they are a very yeshivish family- the kids have limited to no computer access, definitely no TV, kids are on the creative side and very adventurous, and they love to read. Any suggestions would be welcome!
