Most people at one point or another have been invited to a special Christian event such as a First Communion.   As the recipient of the invitation, you may be left in a quandary as to what to get the child that is truly special, a gift that leaves a lasting memory of the significance of receiving the “The Bread of Life.” 

With a little research, you can find many things that are available on the market, but to find a gift that is truly special, takes some time. To make life a little easier, I have included a couple of my favorites.

1.       A Personalized First Communion Cross is a lasting reminder for any communicant. This cross features the sacramental passage from John 6:35 “Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life, he who comes to me shall not hunger and he who believes in me shall never thirst.” and the chalice and Host. It can be personalized with the communicant’s name and date of the First Communion. 

2.       A Personalized Communion Wood Picture Frame that holds a 3½”x5″ or 4″x6″ photo. The frame can be personalized with the communicant’s name and date.   These wood frames can also be ordered in either horizontal or vertical design formats.

3.       If the recipient is a girl you may consider the © 2007 Precious Moments Inc . “This Day has been made in Heaven” figurine. This 5½ ” figurine features a little girl all dressed up in white complete with a veil and holding a rosary and a bible. 

4.       A Tomaso First Communion Cross makes for a perfect keepsake memento. This beautiful cross comes in an elegant presentation box complete with a custom-fit bed lined in cream satin. The cross also comes with a gold foil First Communion Certificate that can be signed by the gift giver.

These gifts stand out the most because they are all collectibles that can be displayed. The personalized gifts, because they are unique to the individual, stand out even more.

There are many other gift items out there including jewelry and boxed rosary sets, but why not pick up something that is unique and truly special. Consider something that will serve as a constant reminder of the communicant’s First Holy Communion and the significant of receiving the gift Jesus has given us, the “Bread of Life.”
