I'm looking for a gift for my nephew. I'm trying to find different ideas. Since I just found out that he's receiving next Sat., I'm short on time to purchase and deliver.
My husband and I feel a need to send him something special since his family doesn't seem to find this event very special. Not trying to be disrespectful, it's just how it is. That's why we just found out about it. And that was with my husband calling and saying, "Hey, is'nt .... receiving FHC this year?"
Any help is appreciated!

I'm the book-giving aunt, so I recently sent Little Catechism on the Eucharist to a niece making her FHC.

Another good book would be Weight of a Mass. Or maybe a nice children's bible. My mom always gives each of my kids a frame from Things Remembered (don't know if you have a store like that around you...things that can be engraved). She has their full name on top and First Holy Communion and date at the bottom. Also, I don't know if you have a Catholic store around you, but have you seen those cute pillowcases with prayers on them like from here? Those are cute. Oh and I'm giving my ds this year for his FHC a rosary and a Cat Chat CD.

I love the Weight of a Mass. I gave all the First Communicants in my CGS class a copy. A Good Shepherd statue is also nice.

I think a Holy Bible with a nice cover and maybe their name in gold on it (for ex, I've seen one in the right hand lowest corner) is a really lovely idea. It's something he'll never outgrow.

We are giving our goddaughter a copy of Catholic Mosaic. She and her mom (her dad passed away 2 years ago) will enjoy it together for a long time. I think we will also send a book from the selections a few times a year.
I like the idea of an engraved frame, that would be very nice, too.

Thank you, everyone!!! After talking with my husband, he doesn't want to give a book. He's afraid the book will just sit on the shelf. We LOVE books and the idea of giving Catholic Mosaic is such a wonderful and generous idea! I'll have to keep that in mind for the future!  I love the Weight of the Mass, too!
KackyK, I love the Catholic Child Catalog site! I can't believe I've never seen that before! Cat Chat is something my kids might like.
We are now thinking of a sports medal. I'm not in love with the idea, but it may be an "acceptable" way to bring the faith into their family.
I'm going to have a Mass said for his intention. This will make me feel better.
