Gift Ideas for the Sacraments


It can be hard to know what kind of gift to get for someone celebrating their First Communion or Baptism. After spending the last 5 years working with religious merchandise at St. Patrick's Guild, I've come to learn what some of the best gifts are for each of the sacraments. Here are a couple of gift ideas for the next time you are celebrating a sacrament.


Baptism: Crib Medals are a beautiful baptismal gift. With an image of a guardian angel on them, these medals serve as protection for the new baby and are a gentle reminder of God throughout the day.


Penance: With a sacrament that is focused around reflection and prayer, rosaries are a perfect gift.


First Communion: There are so many options for First Communion. Personalized items with the child's name and First Communion date are a wonderful way to help them remember their very special day.


Confirmation: The most popular idea for Confirmation gifts are patron saint items. Find out what the confirmant's chosen Confirmation name is, and a saint medal or statue of their chosen saint is a great gift.


I hope these ideas help. There is so much more at the St. Patrick's Guild website if you want more options.
