Confirmation Gifts for Boys

Confirmation Gifts for Boys

Whenever a special occasion arises, be it the occasion or accomplishment, birthday or milestone, of a friend or a relative, sometimes even an acquaintance, it has become the custom to give them a gift.  So it is with the religious milestone of being confirmed.  In some religions Confirmation is coupled with being baptized and in some religions the gift giving and celebrating is expected to be kept at a minimal.  In the Roman Catholic Church Baptism, Communion and Confirmation are considered very high achievements.
           
In the Catholic Church the Sacraments of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation are considered to be the Sacraments of Ignition.  While Communion (or the Eucharist) is expected to be received repeatedly throughout life, Baptism and Confirmation can only be received once.   Baptism is conducted pretty much by the wishes of the parents.  Communion, though received when one has reached 'the age of reason' (seven or so when they have learned the difference between good and bad, right and wrong), is also a guided milestone within the Church.  Confirmation, on the other hand, takes place when one is a teenager; when one has had ample opportunity to experience both good and evil and has learned through that experience which is the right path to travel; when one has studied and learned and had time to consider the rewards of being confirmed.
           
In other religions where Baptism, Communion and Confirmation are received at the same time, that person has had time, also, to consider the significance of this step they are taking toward God.
           
Many choose to reward this milestone with a confirmation gift praising achievement or acknowledging goals or recognizing the recipient's personal wishes.   In most cases the gifts given are not necessarily gender driven.  Still, if this is a personal friend, a niece or nephew, it is wise to consider what might be appropriate for a girl or for a boy.
