Hi all, this may sound like a weird question but my goddaughter is making her confirmation next year and I'm just wondering what does a godmother get for her?? Like is it my duty to get her a special chain/watch or whatever,, don't want to do the wrong thing, an want to get her something really nice.
Thanks all

no there is no specific duty to get her something particular but a present is much nicer then cash.
Maybe you could ask her or bring her shopping with you? or ask her paents is there something that she would really like?
I love the idea of a nice watch or chain though.

Why not ask her parents. My Godson made his last year and I bought him a watch. It sort of a "thing" I do with Godchildren. I buy them something instead of giving cash.

I had asked his mam, and she thought it was a great idea.. and he loved it. He had told her he'd need to get a watch for secondary school.

And for an added bonus, I would have put €50 in an envelope, but instead I bought a watch for €26

Kids will get so much money that it really doesn't matter if they don't get 50 quid from their Godparent. But they will appreciate something they can keep and show off, and say "I got this off my Godfather". You could even bring them out for the day to pick it out.

Defo buy her something, a jewellery box, charm braclet and you can add a charm for her 16, 18th 21st etc would be a lovely idea I think. She can add her own charm's aswell and keep it going when she get's married, has kids.

usually in my family godmother buys the confirmation medal or a watch and godfather gets the other.
