First Holy Communion gift for godson

[stacysmom]

Hi there, I'm in need of some inspiration. My wonderful godson is taking his first communion next month and I'd like to mark it with a memorable gift. He has a twin brother so I am getting them each a fairly modern ID bracelet but also want to do something more individual for him. And all the trad gifts are off the table btw.

For his baptism I gave a compendium of poems by Spike Milligan which has proved really popular and it's been suggested I get another kind of keepsake/classic book. But what?!

Thanks for asking the question as we have the same dilemma for nephew. His sister got a silver necklace with a cross on it but not really appropriate for a boy - or is it?

I'm getting the boys one of these each www.etsy.com/listing/92411656/custom-stamped-adjustable-boys-bracelet but it's not terribly religious!

Well I'm not entirely sure that most boys appreciate religious in the same way that girls seem to..... Nephew is certainly a lot less into going to his First Communion classes etc...than his sister was.

Good idea though!

Same with my godson! He's trying to fight it a bit (and I love him even more for it!).

;-)

How old is he? A nice book is a lovely idea - Robinson Crusoe or something like that, maybe?

Ooh yes, stealth. A nice boys own adventure yarn - good idea. DD was given some lovely hardback editions of things like Beatrix Potter for her christening, I wonder if I can find a compendium of things like Huck Finn and Robinson Crusoe. Gone are the days of having the time to aimlessly browse in Waterstones...
