Are you looking for first Communion gift ideas? It’s an important occasion, so finding the perfect present is key, and we’re here to lend a hand.

First Communion Gift Ideas

For Catholics, the sacrament of first Communion is an incredibly important event in a childโ€™s life. It is the first time they’ll partake in the Eucharist.

If you’re a non-Catholic who has been invited to a first Communion by a friend of family member, even though you may not be familiar with the practice, you still probably want to make sure that you’re following proper etiquette, especially when it comes to gifting.

So, let’s talk about some gift ideas for this special day!

Appropriate First Communion Gift Ideas

First Communion Gift Ideas

Here are nine appropriate first Communion gift ideas. There’s something here for every budget, and any of these gifts is sure to be appreciated.

1. Jewelry

A timeless tradition, gifting religious-themed jewelry for a child’s first Communion not only symbolizes faith, but also serves as a cherished keepsake marking an important milestone in their spiritual journey.

Earrings and necklaces are sure to be appreciated, and a gold cross on a chain is the perfect unisex gift.

2. Money

The gift of money is another good option, especially if you’re not particularly close to the child’s family and aren’t sure what they might like. The same holds true if you aren’t a part of the church yourself and don’t feel comfortable bringing a religious gift.

If you aren’t too close to the child and their parents, gifting anything between 20 to 50 dollars is appropriate, but this can change depending on whether or not there will be a celebratory dinner. In this case, you can take into consideration the cost of the meal (and possibly venue) when gifting money.

3. Picture Frame

A picture frame with an accompanying prayer or Bible verse would make a lovely keepsake for this childโ€™s special day. Itโ€™s an inexpensive option for someone who isnโ€™t too close to the family, but also a thoughtful one that can prove to be a lovely reminder of the event.

4. Childrenโ€™s Bible

The idea of buying a Bible can be a bit overwhelming–after all, there are so many to choose from. Luckily, a number of shops and bookstores sell Bibles for first communions, so you shouldnโ€™t have too much trouble finding one thatโ€™s suitable for either a boy or a girl.

5. Keepsake Box

A keepsake box adorned with religious motifs is next on our list of first Communion gift ideas. A small personalized box provides a special place to store mementos from a child’s first Communion day, such as prayer cards or a rosary.

6. Figurines

Figurines, like the ones from Precious Moments, are also a popular choice for children on this important day.

Typically, they depict a child who is dressed for the occasion (a girl in a white dress and a boy in a suit), or will sometimes be in the shape of an angel. Theyโ€™re meant to mark this special moment in the childโ€™s life and can be treasured forever.

7. Rosary

A rosary, particularly one designed for children with colorful beads and a child-friendly design, is a traditional and practical gift for a first Communion.

8. Wall Cross

A decorative wall cross personalized with the child’s name and first Communion date serves as a beautiful addition to the child’s room and a reminder of their faith journey.

9. Personalized Religious Art

Consider gifting a piece of personalized religious art, like a print or canvas featuring a meaningful Bible verse or religious image. You may want to have it customized with the child’s name and first Communion date.

No matter which of these first Communion gift ideas you choose, what matters most is that you’re there to share in the moment. The family will appreciate that you took the time to help celebrate such a significant milestone in their child’s life.
