First Communion gifts that are unique and memorable can be hard to find in ordinary stores. Those that specialize in religious or special occasions may have a very limited selection. General department stores may not carry items that are meaningful enough or evocative of the sacrament of First Holy Communion. Try visiting online gift services for unique ideas about what to give the special young boy or girl in your life. Such services also offer presents for adults who are finding their places in the church.

If you have been invited to share in a child's or adult's special day, give a keepsake to remind him of it or to build upon with future occasions, such as a confirmation, graduation or marriage. A charm or pendant for a bracelet or necklace is a lovely start to a gift tradition. Likewise, one can add to a personalized photo frame or album with each successive milestone.
