Confirmation present

[Stowickthevast]

It's my Goddaughter's confirmation in a couple of weeks. She's 15. Any ideas for presents other than a necklace with a cross?

Money is the usual where I am (Ireland).

I got the complete works of Shakespeare - which is a nice thing to still have despite no longer being religious

I got a bible, and my grandmother have me an old copy of a book called 'The Fourth Wise Man'. I think she thought that because it was about a topic related to religion it was suitable. I don't remember her ever going to church - although she would have been brought up to go.

Money is the done thing where I am.

Money!

Rosary beads is what my friend bought her niece for confirmation

Some lovely bracelets on Etsy

Type in confirmation gift for girls

Money so she can buy exactly what she wants or jewellery. In my family the godparents usually give a piece of jewellery like a watch. DD got lovely bits for her communion that she wears all the time.

Jewellery, Bible, Christian devotional/prayer book, a print of her favourite Bible passage or one that will be read during the service.

My godparents clubbed together and got me a necklace that I still wear 20+ years ago. My godmother also took me shopping for accessories for my prom which was a really lovely experience. That might work if she is in year 11?

Cold hard cash

Interesting. I wasn't thinking of cash, but can see that would be nice! She's in Yr 10 and goes to an very traditional all girls school with 6th form so I don't think she'll have a prom. Maybe a leavers ball.

It's C of E rather than catholic so not rosary beads but will look on Etsy.
