Holy Communion gifts to keep

A First Holy Communion is a big day, and the gifts from it are often kept for years: a rosary, a cross, a bible with their name on the cover, or a box to keep it all in.

Most of the gifts here are personalised and made to order with the name, date, church or message you choose, and each product page sets out exactly what can be added. A few are ready-printed with First Holy Communion, for when you'd rather not choose any wording.

Choosing a First Holy Communion gift

Rosary beads and crosses

Rosary beads are a traditional gift for the day. Three sets come with a personalised keepsake box, in a heart, rectangular or round shape. For a cross, choose a silver-coloured cross necklace with its own box, or the white standing wooden cross with the child's name and four lines of blessing.

Jewellery and keepsake boxes

The white freshwater pearl bracelet has a heart charm with her name and the date. The pink watch has your message on the back. The shiny necklace, heart and round trinket boxes carry First Holy Communion on the lid with up to four lines of your own, and some come with a cross necklace. The golden chalice box takes a name in a large script, and the white wooden jewellery box has a mirror in the lid.

Bibles, frames and the day itself

The personalised bibles are the King James Version, with the name and your own lines on the cover, so please check that this is the translation your family would like. The frames take a 5x7 or 6x4 photo from the day, and all but the ready-printed one have room for the name and your own lines. The silver-plated certificate holder keeps the certificate from the church safe on its stand.

Something to grow with

The money boxes, from ABC blocks to white ceramic cubes, each carry a name or lines of your own, ready for gifts of money on the day. The pocket compass has a working needle under a lid with their name. The Me to You bear wears a T-shirt with three lines of your own and suits children aged 36 months and over. More ideas for little ones are on the christening gifts page.

First Communion Gifts: Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a personalised First Communion gift take to arrive?

Each personalised gift is made to order, then sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24, so please allow 2 to 5 business days in total. Orders placed after midday, or at the weekend, start from the next working day. The ready-printed gifts are dispatched within 1 to 3 working days and take the same 2 to 5 business days in total. Ordering at least a week before the First Holy Communion leaves time to check everything before the day.

What can I personalise?

It depends on the design. Some take just a name, and others have room for up to five lines, for the date, the church or who the gift is from. Most designs include fixed words, such as On your First Holy Communion. Each product page lists exactly what can be added, how many characters each line takes, and whether it prints in capitals or exactly as you type it.

Are the necklaces and rosary beads real silver?

No. They are silver-coloured, and none of them is sold as solid or hallmarked silver. The certificate holder is silver-plated, some of the boxes are nickel-plated, and the heart charm on the pearl bracelet is rhodium-plated. Each product page says what is included: some boxes come with a cross necklace or rosary beads, and others come empty, ready for a piece of jewellery you have chosen yourself.

What ages are these gifts for?

They are chosen for children making their First Holy Communion, who are usually seven or eight. The bibles, frames, crosses and boxes are keepsakes rather than toys, to keep on a shelf for years to come. The Me to You bear is suitable from 36 months. The necklaces, bracelet, watch, compass and rosary beads have chains, beads or small parts, so please keep them out of reach of babies and toddlers.

What happens if the personalisation is wrong or the gift arrives damaged?

Because a personalised gift is made to order, it can't be returned for a change of mind. If it arrives faulty or damaged, or the personalisation isn't what you ordered, please get in touch and we'll put it right. The ready-printed gifts can be returned unused within 14 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
