Communion gift ideas for a child’s first holy day

Oct. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- It isn’t as you may think finding a first communion gift is easy. In fact this holy celebration is not about gifts, but if you have been invited to a child’s first holy communion party then you may want to take a gift for the first communicant. Here are a few first holy communion gift ideas.

A children’s Bible: A lovingly illustrated children’s bible is a wonderful gift for a first communicant. One of my favorites is “Catholic Prayer Book for Children” by Julianne M. Will. With colorful, captivating illustrations, the Catholic Prayer Book for Children helps boys and girls ages 6 on up discover the beauty of prayer as it encourages them to form the lifelong habit of praying. Another book suggestion is “Catholic Child's Prayer Book” by Rev. Thomas J. Donaghy. The illustrations in these books are intriguing.

A rosary: Beaded rosaries are sold mostly in religious stores. And these are found for all age groups. You may find special rosaries for children. A first communion celebrating child may not know how to pray the rosary yet; this gift pick can be their first step in learning.

Holy themed snow globe or statue: How nice it is when something is available with a holy message on it. You many check for a snow globe or a glass angel and many others which are now sold at gift stores. It can be a good gift idea. You may also look for personalized plaques that fit the holy party.

Holy themed jewelry: Cross earrings or a crucifix or a cross pendant are good choices for first communion gifts for a girls celebrating her first communion. A crucifix may be boys can wear, although it is a personal performance.

Gift collection: Just Communion Dresses is a religious store that offers various communion gifts will make treasured and cherished reminders of such a special occasion in her or his life. It has got girls Communion gifts as well as Communion gifts for boys, so take a look and get the perfect Holy Communion gift for your child!

Money: A monetary gift has always been an acceptable for any religious celebration. If the monetary gift is for your niece, nephew or the child of a close friend, $30 to $35 is sufficient. If you are the child's Godparent, the monetary gift could be a little more or you could couple it with a religious themed gift. Since parents tend to want their children to put most of their monetary gifts in the bank, it may be a good idea to write a check to the child in lieu of giving cash.
