A gift card from his favorite store or restaurant.
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.
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.
Grammatically, You say B'nai Mitzvah just as you would Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah.
Thank you for your generous gift on the occasion of my Bar Mitvah.

You can't go wrong with money. The word life in Hebrew CHAI has the numerical value of 18, therefore people often give bar mitzvah money gifts in multiples of 18 ($18, $36 etc).If you were just friends with the boy who is even having the bar mitzvah, you could just give him something like an iTunes gift card or something like that. Same thing with a girl who is having a bat mitzvah.Important:If the synagogue is Conservative or Orthodox, never try to give a monetary gift (this include gift cards as they're the equivalent of cash) at a bar mitzvah. The reason is that Jews do not handle money on Shabbat (the sabbath). In fact, it's not a good idea to bring a gift of any kind to the synagogue. Either drop off the gift at the family's home in advance or wait until the party.
It is where the Bar Mitzvah ceremony takes place.
A boy has his Bar Mitzvah at age 13.
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'.
The most appropriate would be "Mazol Tov" which means congratulations in Hebrew. Also, I should point out that the term is Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah (Bar for a boy, bat for a girl).
The key player in the Bar Mitzvah boy is the 13 year old Jewish boy, his family and friends are invited to join in the celebration. For more info on Bar Mitzvah check out http://www.yourjewishspeech.com/bar-mitzvah
