You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you could, I would try to include something that had some meaning for the two of you.
I have attached a link from a Judaism 101 blog about the bar/bat mitzvah in general, there is a bit about gift giving on the bottom.

http://www.thingsremembered.com/ > "find gifts by occasion" - I like the album because you could personalize it with the date of the party and his name - and then he can put photos of the party in it. I also liked the urban dog tags.
http://www.Gifts.com has great suggestions for bar mitzvahs and teens.
Another idea... since he's young and the market is down right now - it may be a good time to buy him a share of stock. CocaCola is only $49, Krispy Kreme is $42.

Gifts vary over time. The running joke is "Today I am a fountain pen" because the average Bar Mitzvah boy would get several pens. I received a bunch myself. Money or savings bonds are always popular. But, if you are less affluent than the kid's family it might not be the most comfortable choice. My advice to you is to find out what his interests are. If he takes drum lessons, get him a drum accessory he wants. If he likes music or always has his iPod in hand an iTunes giftcard would work. Planting trees in his name or carbon credits if he is a budding environmental activist.
The point is that there is no hard and fast rule here. The main idea is that you want to give him something that says you are proud of him for reaching this milestone in his life. But you also want to give him something that a 13yr old boy will notice or find meaningful. The opposite of "Oh, um, thanks for the socks aunt so and so."
