First Holy Communion Gift

What is an appropriate gift to give for a First Holy Communion??

I have never been to one, so i have NO idea!! Help!

Its been a while since Ive been to one but Ive alywas though $50 was appropriate


I remember feeling rich when I recieved all my 1st communion money

so you give $$ and not a gift??

should i do a bond instead??

I tried to get a bond for my Goddaughter, it was a complete and total waste to bother. I just gave her a check instead. The maturity from what I understood, was pretty bad.......but then again I wasn't paying much attention!!!

To answer your question, I have to go to my boss's daughter's Communion, and I am giving $100, but only because they were VERY generous to us at the wedding....

I think $50 is appropriate, and I usually give a little gift like a frame or cross....Paula in my office has all Communion stuff like that so it's very convenient!

Whatdo you mean 'a Catholic thing'? Isn't the person Catholic? You could make rosary beads, but they would probably go to better 'use' for a girl.....

they are episcipalion... is that the same as catholic?? or the same as christian??... im a religious moron!!

Episcopalian(? sp) is very similar to Catholic & is Christian.

Boys can/do use rosary beads also.

We're going to a Communion next week & plan on giving $50

Episcopal is different than Catholic. Episcopalian's do not use rosary beads. Money would be a good gift.

If I were to give an actual gift, I think it shoudl be something useful like a videogame/ board game/ book etc

I know when I got religious gifts, I had more than one bible/rosary/cross/frame and all I wanted was $ or toys....As an adult I understand the meaning behind them but if you put yourself in kids' shoes, its a waste

$50 is a good gift for a communion - or get a gift - personally i dont get religious gifts because i am not christian - i would get a gift cerificate to a toy store or something useful like that
