It is their second step towards full initiation into the Church and their first time receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

It's traditional for family and friends to get together for a celebration following Mass, where special gifts and keepsakes are given to First Communicants. Choosing the right gift for First Holy Communion can help make the memory of this special day last forever. 

If you're wondering about what kinds of gifts are appropriate to celebrate this special occasion, here's a list of First Communion gift ideas for your godson, goddaughter, grandson, granddaughter, brother, sister, niece, nephew, cousin or friend.
