A child's First Communion is one of many monumental moments in their lives that call for a special gift. Even if you are not highly religious, there are a number of gift basket ideas that are appropriate for a First Communion. From food items to religious trinkets, First Communion gift baskets have a variety of price points that will cater to any budget.
First Communion Food Basket
One idea for a First Communion gift basket would certainly be rounding up a bunch of tasty treats like cookies, candies or small pastries and putting them into one package. This gift can both be made as well as purchased. If you choose to make a First Communion gift basket of treats, include whatever food items you think the child would like best; you can even have the individual candies or cookies personalized with their monogram. Keep in mind, though, children who do their First Communion are usually between the ages of four and five, so pick treats that are age appropriate. If you choose to purchase a gift basket, they will typically cost you anywhere between $30 and $80. Some companies will allow customers to specify what types or how many treats they want to include in their gift basket, while others come ready made.
Religious Gift Basket
Another idea for a First Communion gift basket would certainly be a collection of child-friendly religious gifts. Given the religious tone of this sacrament, purchasing small prayer books, rosary beads or Christian statuettes would be appropriate. Another idea could be to include a small personalized crucifix in your gift bundle as well. Many companies have pre-made gift baskets that include many Christian items that are geared toward children. However, people also have the option of creating their own gift basket, by hand picking the items and arranging them. Either option will typically cost you between $30 and $70 depending on how elaborate the individual gifts inside the basket are.
Photo Gift Basket
One other option for people searching for the perfect First Communion gift arrangement would be to put together their own basket with personal mementos from the child's life. For instance, a person could gather photos and include those in a gift basket with traditional presents like a prayer book or religious medallion. There are a number of companies that will also take First Communion photos and incorporate them into the gift basket. Even a mini photo album or collage could be a great centerpiece to include in a gift basket for a First Communion.
