A First Communion gift list the whole family can follow

Godparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all want to get it right, and most of them end up asking the parents the same question. Put the ideas on one list, send the link with the invitation, and everyone can see which gifts are still free.

Why parents set one up

One answer for every relative

Send the link once instead of answering the same question on the phone ten times.

No three identical watches

A reserved gift shows as taken straight away, so the classic communion duplicates stop happening.

Parents stay in charge

You make and manage the list for your child, and you decide what goes on it.

What to put on it

Communion gifts tend to split into keepsakes from the closest family and fun, useful things from everyone else. A list that covers both might look like this:

An engraved medallion, a cross on a chain, or a children's Bible with a dedication.
The traditional choice. Link the exact one so there is only ever one.
The big gift of the day. Put it on so several relatives can go in on it together.
The series they are already reading, plus something to read under at night.
LEGO, art supplies, a football kit. Specific enough that nobody gets it wrong.
An aquarium, a theme park, or a trip to the cinema with the family.

A communion gift list maker that takes about a minute

There is nothing to install and nothing to pay for. Start a list, paste links from any shop, and the photo, name and price fill in by themselves. Send the link with the invitation. Relatives open it in a browser, without an account, and claim what they want to bring.

A few things that make it work

Communion season is short, so the popular bikes and watches start running low in shops by late April. Add a few small items for distant relatives and family friends, who want something safe to bring. And let your child help choose. It makes the list theirs.

Common questions

Still unsure? See a live example

Who usually makes a First Communion list?

Usually the parents, on their child's behalf. It answers the question relatives are going to ask anyway, and it keeps the gifts suited to the child's age.

Is it okay to put a bike or another big gift on it?

Yes. Mark it as most wanted and several relatives can go in on it together. That is easier for everyone than five smaller gifts nobody planned.

What do godparents usually give?

Traditionally something lasting: a watch, a medallion, a keepsake Bible or a bike. Put the ideas on the list and the godparents can reserve theirs early.
