My niece and nephew (10) are making their first communion next week. We have a strained relationship with my DH's sister and I'd like to try to buy really nice, meaningful gifts for them. Any suggestions on First Communion gifts?

I got a gold bracelet and I gave my Goddaughter a a gold cross on a chain. My sons got silver religious medals.
Since kids usually get things like a crucifix, a bible, etc, I think a nice piece of jewelry is a good way to go. Just a gold chain is something they can always have and enjoy.

I gave my son a gold chain and a gold religious medal. My parent's gave me the same thing when I was born-I got a St. Christopher's medal and I still have it. You can try to find out which Saint has special significance to each child or just choose one. I would choose a female Saint for the girl and a male Saint for the boy. Or you can go really safe and choose Mary (the blessed Mother of Jesus) for the girl, and Jesus for the boy.
I feel this is a special gift that the child can keep for his or her entire life. They can replace the chain with a chain that is longer as they grow.

PS. Do you need sites where to buy these? There are Catholic websites online that I know of.

Try mysaintmyhero.com, they have gorgeous blessing bracelets made in Medjugorie at reasonable prices among other things. I love it and use it for my religious gift giving events.
