For Christians around the world, the First Communion is the first big sacrament in their lifelong journey of faith and devotion. After all, how many babies vividly remember their baptism? It’s safe to say that just about everyone remembers their First Communion, and sadly, some of the crumby gifts they got.
It’s tragic, but a lot of gifts for First Communion out there are almost an affront to a day that a kid should remember fondly. As someone who had a First Communion and has attended quite a few over the years, I feel confident that young Christians will actually enjoy unwrapping the gifts chosen for this list. Many of these religious gifts are also fairly inexpensive, so you can also splurge on a secular gift too, to truly make the day special. Here are the 15 best First Communion gifts for boys and girls.
1. “The Complete Illustrated Children’s Bible” by Janice Emmerson
