First Holy Communion and Confirmation Gifts: A Catholic Gift Guide
First Holy Communion and Confirmation are two of the most important milestones in a young Catholic's life. Whether you're a parent, grandparent or sponsor, here are meaningful gifts to mark the day.
First Holy Communion gifts
First Holy Communion is when a child first receives the Eucharist, usually around age 7 or 8. Gifts are often keepsakes that help them grow in faith.
- A Catholic Bible. Our white NRSV Catholic Bible gift set includes the deuterocanonical books, comes with a rosary, and is personalised with the child's name.
- A Bible and rosary set. See the Bible with rosary beads, complete in a gift box.
- A keepsake box for their rosary and certificate. See the trinket box.
- A music box for girls. See the ballerina box.
Confirmation gifts
Confirmation completes Christian initiation, and many young people are confirmed in their teens. A Confirmation gift should be something they'll keep into adulthood.
- A personalised Bible with their Confirmation name and date.
- A gift from their sponsor. Sponsors often give a Bible or a cross as a sign of their ongoing support.
