Upshernish Gift Idea

Posted: Fri, Aug 20 2004, 4:04 pm Post subject: Upshernish Gift Idea

My nephew is getting upshernished this coming week and I need a gift idea. I want to give him something Jewish themed, I think it's appropriate for this milestone birthday, but if you have an idea that isn't particularly Jewish, I'm still opened to hear. I do not want to give him a kippa or tzizzus, it seems to be too commonly given, he'll end up with 6. Thanks for your advice in advance.

or what about a negel vasser kwart ( spelling?) and shisel with name painted on. Maybe Dovid could help paint it- so its apersonla guft.

I bought a personalized neggel vasser set for my other nephew a few months ago and I wasn't the only person to buy one. My sister-in-law was good natured about it and said her daughter will just use the other one.

I dont know if your nephew and his family are into computers, but if they are, computer software for a jewish game like aleph bais or something would be unique. and if it's expensive try splitting it with other family members.

You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they are going

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. In the end I got him one of those siddurim for small children, gold stamped with his name on it, and an aleph bais board game.
