One of those?
Can be displayed in the children's bedroom or anywhere in the house, I think.
What do you think?

Oh. and I mean, one of those as a gift, not all of them!

Yes, it seems fine to me. We're giving money as think the mother will give her a rosary.

Sorry, but how much? Just to have an idea...

I know that for this particular family, receiving money as a gift for B'days, Weddings, Christening etc is not part of the culture.

Someone gave the 1st Communion girl a tenner, they were happy but mystified and commented of the cultural differences..

We're only giving a tenner. She has quite a few family and friends attending tomorrow.

I remember getting money in cards, and that was 30 years ago.

Looks fine to me.

I am a bit worried because I met the family a few times after the day and they haven't mention anything about the gift.
Not sure if they liked it?
Should I ask if they opened the gift already?
Maybe they put it somewhere and forgot about it?

That's a shame after the effort you put in to choosing it, I thought they looked lovely.

The dc will probably write a Thank You note/letter after. That's what the dc today did. She wrote a list of people who brought what etc.

Barbiecan some people are just rude. I would ask outright if they liked it.

It's lovely. Smile

Thanks. It actually comes with a smaller matching bit like this:

I am worried it is too grown-up for a child, but I was thinking about the whole family.
