What type of gift should you get someone to celebrate their Catholic Confirmation?
A question from a reader: My friend is going to have her Catholic Confirmation in a few months, and has invited me to be there. I asked if a gift would be appropriate, and she said yes, but I’m not exactly sure what to get her. I’m not Catholic, so I have no idea what would be expected. Any suggestions?
lol… an upside-down cross.
Not to sound crass, but CASH is always good. Or if not, many Catholic churches has a small bookshop. Stop by and see what they have available.
.Stick with something you know she would like that is not something she will out grow (clothes) or consume (food, starbucks). it does not have to be spiritual, but positive in message (if music consider the words). jewelry, a jewelry box is always good

Some of those kiosks at the mall have those decorations 3-d etched inside a glass cube. My dad got me one for my conformation with a cross in it.
Here is the perfect gift.

a gun to blow her brains out. jk. or am i?
For a Catholic child?
Anal lube.
A Rosary would be a nice gift to give someone. Or buy her a Catholic Prayer Book, most of them are inexpensive and make excellent Confirmation gifts.
While I’m not a religious person myself, I have total respect for other peoples religion and I’m disgusted by some of the answers you have got.
Peoples faith is very important to them and if you don’t share it, don’t knock it.
There are plenty of gift ideas on the web, this is just one with some lovely ideas for you.
A Bible, Rosary, statue or medal of her chosen saint, a book about her chosen saint, or any saint, a crucifix necklace, etc. Things of a religious nature.
Money is really not a good gift, in that it does not address the religious aspect of the day.
Some gift ideas…
1) Holy Spirit Pendant
2) Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC)
3) New Bible (New American Bible)
4) Bible tabs
5) Nice rosary
6) Books from early Church Fathers
7) etc…
