Communion Confirmation Gifts
- Celebrating a first Holy Communion confirmation is a monumental event in the life of a Catholic family. Commemorating a person's first Holy Communion confirmation is best with the perfect gift. A suitable communion confirmation gift is something that has a practical application, spiritual meaning and an individual touch. Giving a gift for a person's communion confirmation is one way to show your support and commitment to the family celebrating. Take time to think about the gift before giving in order to give something from the heart.
- Give the gift of jewelry which will help the child remember the event and their commitment to Christ. Some Christian jewelry ideas for girls are a gold or silver necklace with a crucifix charm, a locket or a sacramental charm bracelet. Boy's jewelry can also be a gold or silver crucifix or cross. Many boys will also wear a religious medal such as a four-way medal. You can have the piece of jewelry engraved with the child's name and the date of the communion confirmation. This will make the gift more personal and special for the recipient.
- A Bible or a Christian book that is geared for the person's age group would make a great gift. The Bible you choose can be engraved with the child's name on the cover. You can write a personal note or letter to the child on the inside cover of the Bible so the recipient always remembers who gave them the Bible and the significance of it. Give a Christian book that really spoke to you personally as a young person. Let the recipient know why you chose the book as a gift whether it be verbally communicated or written down in a card.
- Buy the recipient first communion rosaries to teach her from a young age how to pray in the Catholic tradition. Provide an explanation of what the rosaries are and how to use them. You can pray through the rosaries with the child to show him how to pray and how often to pray. Explain the importance of prayer and how God is always available to listen, comfort and to guide. You can buy rosaries made of plastic, wood or metal depending on the price range you're looking to spend.
