It's tradition to give money in incriments of $18, because 18 means chai, which is the Hebrew word for life.

At least a $20 or even two!
And don't forget to dance with the guys. Just grab one and make him dance.
And when they pass out the wine, ask for seconds!
Man, Jews know how to throw a party!
How Rich is this person!
If they are very rich and you are very rich, maybe a gift from the heart would be better!
Or $100
Or a gift certificate at Victoria Secrets or Dots and Fashion Bug.
Or one of those MAster Card gift cards.
Remember, you're only 13 once in your life!

That depends entirely on how much money you want to give her as a Bat Mitzvah gift. There is no set amount.

If you want to give money, just think whatever you would normally spend on a birthday gift for her, and do that. It depends on what you can afford.
Gifts are perfectly appropriate also.
Party on!

It's not a Jewish tradition (only the Bar Mitzvah is), so you don't have to give anything.
