I'd get a silver bracelet. They have loads at James Avery. You could get a charm bracelet with a mildly religious charm, like "hope". Or just a regular silver bangle.

Re: Question on etiquette
As someone that isn't religious at all (nor is the wife), I think your original suggestion of booze is an excellent one! :thumbup:

Help? Anyone? |

Re: Question on etiquette
When I was a kid, I absolutely loved cash gifts.
Grownups always give you what they think you want, not actually what you do want. :thumbup: |

My wife recently attended a first communion for a friend (we're Jewish). If you are uncomfortable with a religious gift, money in the form of cash/check or gift card is quite appropriate. |

Re: Question on etiquette
OK, thank you very much for the ideas, suggestions (some better than others, looking at nobody in particular, but you know who you are:sneaky:) and the support for my original idea...
Against my better judgement, a visit was made to James Avery where I parted with about $70 for a silver (looking) chain with a pendant thingy on it that is apparently ideal for a 9 year old girls first communion. Or so the saleslady told me..... |
Re: Question on etiquette
Shame - shiner are doing a lovely prickly pear beer right now. A 12 pack of that would have been ideal.
