I love the idea of getting her first communion veil and her wedding veil (since I won't ever have a girl!). I'll ask my sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2695725 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 14:39:32 +0000 SweetCaroline 2695725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Nativity set idea. That would be a timeless heriloom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2695280 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 23:36:42 +0000 DesertDreams88 2695280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted a veil so badly for my communion day but my parents didn't buy one / thought it unnecessary $$$. So I'm liking the veil suggestions above. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2695268 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 23:07:56 +0000 Grace 2695268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a picture? I got one from my godmother for my first communion of Jesus blessing the little children. Easily, my most memorable present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694695 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 14:14:26 +0000 looch 2694695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about pieces for a nativity set? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694637 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 13:33:41 +0000 matador84 2694637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a rosary. I love the veil idea! </p> <p>There are some really great Catholic artisans that I follow on insta if you're interested. mylittlefeltfriends is a favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694467 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 11:18:05 +0000 KayKay 2694467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Single pearl on a chain? I know you said you already did a necklace...maybe a bracelet? Or simple pearl earrings (if she has her ears pierced)?</p> <p>Some sort of crystal figurine or light-catcher?</p> <p>A white silk/lace keepsake bag or purse for her to keep her churchy things in (bible, rosary, jewelry, etc)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694455 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 11:04:54 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2694455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to is a James Avery first communion charm and maybe another charm with an initial or a bracelet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694347 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:36:20 +0000 erinbaderin 2694347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our oldest Goddaughter a charm bracelet and the younger one a Tiffany bead bracelet with a little enamel pink heart, but I just looked them up and they definitely did not cost that much when I bought it for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694346 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:36:10 +0000 honeybear 2694346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: That's awesome!

Could get earrings to go with the necklace. I remember getting jewelry, a rosary, a Bible for mine. Maybe a religious themed book? Cash would probably be well received too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694341 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:31:26 +0000 honeybear 2694341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's Catholic, I would ask her parents if she has a chapel veil. There are nice ones in a variety of styles you can find on sites like Etsy for around $20-50, and even if she only uses it for her First Communion (you can wear them to any Mass, too), it would be something special to commemorate the occasion. I might send her some options so she can pick one out that she likes. </p> <p>If she's Protestant, maybe a bracelet to go with the necklace? Or something she can use each year at home, like a nice Advent wreath candle holder? </p> <p>(I'm trying to think outside the box of Bibles and rosaries! ;) Not that there is anything wrong with Bibles and rosaries, of course!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694339 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:29:23 +0000 josina 2694339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my step-daughter a personalized rosary for her first communion from this Etsy shop:<br /> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/trendytraditionsbiz?ref=l2-shopheader-name" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/trendytraditionsbiz?ref=l2-shopheader-name</a></p> <p>I have 2 from my childhood and used 1 in my wedding, so I think they have great sentimental value. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694333 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:24:49 +0000 FaithFertility 2694333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: Ohhh i like the A&amp;A bracket ideas, or.maybe the start to a Pandora bracelet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2694317 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:08:21 +0000 PinkElephant 2694317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got my daughters something like this when they were baptized, but I think it's a more appropriate First Communion gift. I just did a quick Google search; they seem to be available in a variety of sizes, different prayers, and price points. I didn't realize they were available this cheap, so you may want to add something - maybe some kind of personalized religious charm bracelet or something? My SIL got my nieces kid-size bracelets like alex + ani with birthstones and their initials and a charm related to hobbies - I bet they'd have a cross.</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Catholic-Learning-Original-Father/dp/B00ANC3NI6/ref=pd_sim_21_5?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=29X7NXHY9RF10NZ85TBD" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Catholic-Learning-Original-Father/dp/B00ANC3NI6/ref=pd_sim_21_5?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=29X7NXHY9RF10NZ85TBD</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-communion-gift#post-2692464 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 09:00:00 +0000 winniebee 2692464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece and goddaughter makes her First Communion in a few months. What do you think would be a good gift for her? I don't want to get her a bible and I gave her a cross necklace for her Baptism. Should I just do a cash gift? Maybe something personalized? </p>
