FIRST COMMUNION GIFT CLASSICS

At this time of year we are often asked what are the best gifts for children making their First Holy Communion. We have found that there are as many "best gifts" as there are first Communicants but over the years we have noticed that certain gifts bring a special bright smile to young children receiving their First Holy Communion. These items have become the First Communion Gift Classics.
In most parts of the United States special clothing is worn during the ceremony: a white dress and veil for the girls and a blue or white suit with a white tie for the boys. Sometimes a navy blue blazer is worn with white pants. Whatever your preference or parish requirements, we have one of the largest selections of First Communion apparel in the country. Please consult our web site or call us at 800-523-7604 and ask to speak to our experienced consultants. We have a wide range of styles and sizes to fit any budget.
When families are shopping for First Communion Gifts we often hear "Oh I remember I received that when I received my First Communion" and those gifts top the list of first Communion Classics. The First Communion gift set that features a prayer book, rosary, scapular and Eucharistic pin is available in several styles and price ranges from the Mother of Pearl deluxe set to the vinyl cover wallet. Religious Children's books such as the Golden Children's Bible and the Lives of the Saints are a reminder to both parents and their children of their First Communion Day.
Many parents remember the special piece of religious jewelry that commemorated their First Holy Communion Day. Miraculous Medals, medals that have the image of the child's patron saint, or a plain cross are timeless First Communion Gifts. A new popular gift is the sports medal with an image of St Christopher on one side and your child's favorite sport on the other. All medals are available in 14k gold, sterling silver or pewter. Chains, appropriate to your child's age are provided, and free engraving is also available
Rosaries have become more popular as a gift for First Holy Communion. Many rosaries are especially made for smaller hands and feature a chalice medal First Communion commemorative. Rosary bracelets also made for younger children contain the 10 beads, a small cross and miraculous medal. Free engraving is also available for these items.
In the last 20 years we have seen the rise in popularity of Precious Moments items for First Communion. From the Precious Moments First Holy Communion Gift Set that includes the Precious Moments prayer book, rosary, case, and bookmark to a variety of porcelain Precious Moments boxes and figurines suitable to be used as cake decorations, these items reflect the innocence, purity and serenity of children receiving their First Holy Communion. We also offer a variety of ceramic special keepsakes from Lladro and the Joseph studio as well as a large selection of statuary of Jesus, Mary and the saints.
First Communion Dolls in delicate lace trimmed dresses and veils are treasured keepsakes. With the popularity of the American Girl Doll series your child can dress their 18" doll in special First Communion clothes. This includes a lace and satin dress and veil, pearl and cross necklace, lace socks and Mary Jane shoes, Other First Communion gifts include personalized wall crosses, picture frames, or prayer cards with your child's name, name of the church, date for First Holy Communion and a short prayer. These items are great gifts for all your special guests.
