It depends on how well you know the person. If they're not very close to you, you can give a check for $18. 18 is the number that stands for chai, or life, in Judaism. If you know them well, you can give money in increments of 18 (36 or 54), or try to find a gift that ties in with their interests.

They use a Yad to help read the Torah.
Yes, the boy is called 'a/the bar mitzvah' which translates as 'son of mitzvah'. For a girl, it would be 'a/the bat mitzvah' 'daughter of mitzvah'.
Obviously, it is a difficult thing to tell someone how much money they should give as an appropriate gift for a Bar Mitzvah, since everyone's financial situation is very different and every Bar Mitzvah participant expects different levels of gratitude from different people. However, $36 is perfectly appropriate as a gift to give your classmate for his Bar Mitzvah, even though it would probably be an inappropriate amount for a close, working relative.
Multiples of $18 is the tradition.
If youre a boy, your bar Mitzvah!! if youre a girl you do it at 12 and its called a bat Mitzvah! biggest celebration of every Jews life bigger than a wedding
Any gift that you would give to a boy or girl is a suitable bar mitzvah gift. Just because it is a bar mitzvah doesn't mean it should be treated specially. Another popular bar mitzvah gift is money in multiples of 18.
A Bar Mitzvah sponsor is someone who pays for the Bar Mitzvah ceremony for a boy whose family cannot afford it. At the ceremony itself, the sponsor doesn't have any specific responsibilities, but is likely to be given an honor such as an aliyah to the Torah-reading.
It is where the Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place.
A boy has his Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
