    hi all

    determined to get this right

    i need advice on what to buy my god son for his first communion.
    but he has well to do parents and has pretty much anything he wants/needs-

    my parents are buying him a watch

    added complication is he is a twin and his sister is also making her communion.
    need to get her something too but make his a little more special.

    i'd like to get something that he has when older but appreciates when 7.

    any ideas ?


    any help appreciated.

    I would have said a watch but that's already covered. It's a tough one.

    Does he have a bike?

    Would he be a sports fan? Tickets for you, himself and his Dad to the next big match in his favourite sport/favourite team?

    he, famously can cycle when his older brother can't master it :-)

    not a bad idea. i'll pass it by my sister but, as i siad, they seem to have everything they need and more.

    My daughter go a complete set of coins from the year she was born in - you can get them from central bank in a gift display case - I thight this was a nice unusual present. (About€ 25

    We got my nephew a family membership to the zoo (€125) if you're feeling more generous -both your nephew and niece would be able to take advantage of it.

    Give him the gift of time - No, not a watch - Take him out with you for a day doing whatever gets him going - zoo or sports or sea trip or whatever.

    That's a good idea, nothing like a nice memory based on the event to make it more special, the beauty of this is that you can include the twin. And the godson will know the day was his, everyone will enjoy it and the lad will feel more special as he will have a nice memory.
    I couldn't offer any better advice than that. Material stuff is nice but memories are just as good if not better.

    if he is into books and reading there is a shop Top floor in Stephens Green centre Dublin ,that make personalised and unique books. You pick the stories and they add child's name ,child's address etc in the story or things like that. you decide want you want.
