Best First Communion Gifts From Godparents
Traditional First Communion Gifts for Boys and Girls
1. Children's Bible
Get your godchild a children’s bible. Yes, you heard that right – a CHILDREN’S BIBLE.
Your godchild will have way more fun learning from this children’s bible than an adult one because it is so engaging. Remember, your godchild is a child!
My aunts and uncles gave me a Precious Moments bible for my First Communion and the print was so small that it was hard to read and there were no pictures either.
Do you want to know where it is? It is still sitting on a shelf collecting dust because even I am more drawn to pick up this children's bible.
2. Rosary
Rosaries are so helpful to remind your godchild to pray.
I know there are so many to choose from but just go with a neutral one so your godchild can still use it as he grows up.
3. Wooden Cross
I am talking about a wooden cross because it is classic and timeless which your godchild can have at 8, 38, and even 88.
4. Prayer Book
This prayer book is filled with prayers that are just for kids, and it is fantastic.
My sweet neighbor gifted it to my kids and even I find myself wanting to read from it often.
5. Sacraments Book
My daughter was gifted this book for her First Communion and since then we have gone through it many times. To be honest, my boys love it more than my daughter does.
6. First Communion Picture Frame
Your godchild will love this engraved First Communion picture frame.
She can put it on her dresser as a wonderful reminder of this special occasion.
7. Pocket Token
Ah, pocket tokens. Friend, these are not my favorite gifts to give but they are popular so I thought I should include them.
The reason why I am not a fan is because kids are not sure what to do with them so they either end up in a piggy bank because they are about the size of other coins or lost in a drawer somewhere.
8. Card with Money
If you make it to the bottom of this list of ideas and nothing jumps out at you say, that is the perfect gift for my godchild, give a First Communion card with money in it.
It is not the most exciting thing to open but money is always a solid option.
Traditional First Communion Gifts For Girls
9. Jewelry
I know she is young but you could help your goddaughter get a little fancy with a new necklace or bracelet.
Let her open your gift before mass so she can wear it to mass.
10. Precious Moments Figure
Check out this beautiful angel for your goddaughter.
The wings are full, and I mean full, of sparkles and it has the saying “God Bless You on your First Communion”.
My daughter was over the moon when she opened this and it has been on her self in her bedroom ever since.
11. Coloring Book
This Bible Verse coloring book is so good and she is going to love coloring in it. The pages are thicker so she can use markers on them and they look amazing hung up.
My daughter loves to color in this book using fine-tip markers and gel pens.
12. Keepsake Box
This gorgeous keepsake box can be engraved for your goddaughter.
It is on the smaller side but it is perfect for holding that new bracelet or necklace you just got her.
Traditional First Communion Gifts For Boys
13. Personalized Tie Clip
Since your godson is going to be looking fancy and probably wear a tie for First Communion mass, get him a personalized tie clip.
If you decide to go with this gift, try to have him open it before mass so he can wear it.
14. Compass
It is a real working compass that you can get engraved.
We chose this compass for our oldest son with the saying “May your faith always guide you” and it turned out beautiful.
Non-Traditional First Communion Gifts
15. Stuffed Animal
They are so soft and the perfect size to snuggle. And to top it off, they are completely machine washable.
We gave this little cutie to our 3rd kiddo for his First Communion and he sleeps with it all the time.
16. Fishing Pole
Is your godchild into fishing? Get a fishing pole.
And friend, this is not just a gift for the boys. My daughter loves fishing and has her own pole and tackle box too.
Spend some relaxing time together and go fishing.
17. Tackle Box
If you know your godchild has a fishing pole, get a tackle box.
And if that is covered, you can never have enough fishing lures!
Whichever one you go with, add a snack or two because you can't go fishing without snacks.
18. Legos
Girls and boys can spend hours and hours getting creative with Legos. I know there are so many kits out there but kids build them and then they sit.
Go with a tub of the classic Legos and they will be used way more.
19. Board Games
Board games are a great way to spend time with your godchild that doesn’t involve a screen.
We have a bunch of games – we are north of 50 now, no joke but these are the games my kids love to take out the most.
20. Books
Help build your godchild’s library with a new book or 2. After all, we both know reading is so important.
Reading is huge at our house and here are some fan favorites for 7 – 9 year olds.
21. Slime
I hear you, “Slime, you want me to give slime as a First Communion present?” and yep, I sure do.
Your godchild will have a blast playing with it.
Check out this standard slime kit and there is this fluffy slime kit too.
22. Barbie
If your goddaughter is a Barbie fan, get her a Barbie doll.
I did look for you and there is no First Communion Barbie, bummer. Good thing there are so many other ones to choose from.
23. Fashion Plates
Your goddaughter does not have to be into fashion to love playing with these fashion plates. She is going to spend hours with these.
My daughter loves to bring them to life with Colored Pencils and Gel Pens.
24. Laser Tag
Laser Tag is not just for boys, oh no! Your goddaughter will love running around with this game too.
My kids love to go outside to play laser tag when it is dark, so fun!
I love laser tag since it is something that people can play even as they get older (and I am talking about grown adults here).
25. Walkie Talkies
Your godson will love these walkie-talkies.
Go with these adult ones if you go with walkie-talkies as a gift. I didn't the first time and it was a huge waste of our money.
