Gift ideas from €50
A Communion gift does not have to be expensive, but it may also be something special. One special piece is the glass cross 27 × 12 cm, red and transparent (€59.90, blessed, only a few available). Hand-carved wooden statues from our woodcarving workshop in South Tyrol also make a good godparent's gift, for example the Renaissance Madonna with Child or a guardian angel statue. Every statue is one of a kind and arrives insured directly from the workshop: delivery time is approx. 3–4 weeks (Germany and Austria only, €6.90), so order in good time before the celebration. The 14-day statutory right of withdrawal applies to statues; they are not blessed in our warehouse, but you can have them blessed in your parish. If you prefer to combine: a cross for the room, a necklace to wear and a guardian angel picture. That makes a gift set that feels more personal than a single expensive item. A handwritten card goes well with it.
Rosary for Communion
The rosary is a classic Communion gift that can last a lifetime. Here you will find blessed rosaries in wood, glass and haematite for €29.90, each with a certificate card showing the date of the blessing.
For boys and girls
We do not make a strict distinction, because a cross is for everyone. As a guide: girls are often delighted by delicate necklaces such as the heart-and-cross necklace or the angel pendant. Boys often go for the tau cross (€11.90), the holding cross or the beech wood standing cross. In the end, what counts is what the child likes: ask the parents what they already have. More in the guide What do you give for Communion? 25 ideas.
From godparents and grandparents
Godmothers, godfathers and grandparents usually give something that lasts: a cross for the room, a blessed necklace or a guardian angel picture. A Bible verse or a few personal lines make it truly their own. Our tips for this: Communion gifts from godparents.
What does First Holy Communion mean?
At First Holy Communion, a Catholic child receives Communion, that is the Eucharist, for the first time. This usually happens at around the age of nine, mostly in the third year of primary school, after several months of preparation in the parish. Many parishes celebrate on White Sunday, the Sunday after Easter, or in the weeks after. Each parish sets the exact date itself. You will find an overview for parents here: First Holy Communion 2027: dates, order of service, checklist.
Group gifts and parish bulk orders
If the whole Communion group is to receive the same gift: for parishes, schools and groups there is a quantity discount on the total quantity of your order: 10% from 10 items, 15% from 25, 20% from 50 – quote on request on +49 30 2178 2502 (German and English) or at hallo@lunexus.world (More about the quantity discount). Parishes can also order on invoice with 15-day payment terms. Popular for groups are the cross pendants and necklaces from €9.90, combined with the velvet pouch set with cross (10 pieces, €12.90) as packaging. Plan quantities and date early and check stock levels before ordering. All the details, checklist and timetable: Communion group orders and For parishes & groups.
Blessing: what “blessed” means with us
Many items carry the note “blessed”. This means: a Catholic priest blesses many of these items in our warehouse, and a certificate showing the date is included. The blessing is a sign, not a promise of salvation. Of course you can also have a gift blessed in your parish. More on this under Blessed items.
Shipping and returns
Shipped via Amazon's logistics network – free within Germany, €5.90 to Austria and France; Italy €6.90, Spain €6.90. Items from our warehouse can be returned within 30 days. The exception is the wooden statues from the woodcarving workshop: they arrive insured directly from South Tyrol (€6.90, Germany and Austria only, delivery time approx. 3–4 weeks), and the 14-day statutory right of withdrawal applies.
