My 8 year old nephew is receiving his 1st Holy Communion on Sunday What do people usually give as gifts? I have never been to on before so any help would be appreciated.

There was recently a thread on this either here or on Community Board in case you'd like to look - I think it got decently long. Money seemed to be the main thought

Anyway, my children mostly received money, but were given a few non-monetary gifts from close friends/family (either instead or in addition to $)

Our niece's Communion is soon. She is our Goddaughter also. We will likely give her a small gift as a remembrance and money

DD just had her First Communion on Palm Sunday. She received cash, a savings bond and 2 crosses.

When DS had his FC, he received cash, savings bond and books.

Hoped this helps.

99.9% give check or money, maybe a savings bond. Usually only the parents, grandparents, or godparents give religious tokens (how many bibles and crosses does one need). ETA, I see you are in NJ - definitely money.

Thanks everyone. I will skip the religious tokens and go the money route or maybe a bond. Is $50 acceptable?

I think $50 is fine.

For my DS8's best friend we did a share of Disney Stock from oneshare. Th eboys have known each other since birth and it's something this particular child would really dig (being a stock holder).

My DD just made her Communion on Saturday. She got all $ and one beautiful picture frame.
Good luck, and 50.00 is a great amount

My DS made his First Communion last spring and also received quite a bit of money, but each person gave him $20-25; I think $50 might be too much to give, but that's just MHO. My son also received a kid's illustrated Bible with abridged stories from the Old & New Testaments & $30 in Disney Dollars that he'll take on our trip in a couple of weeks .
