Confirmation Gifts for a Catholic Boy
Confirmation is one of seven sacraments within the Roman Catholic Church. Boys and girls normally attend religion classes in preparation to be confirmed as a mature adult of the Catholic faith, usually between age 12 and 14. Confirmation is concluded with a party in child's honor. Traditionally people give money as a gift for confirmation, but other gifts are acceptable as well.

Rosary beads are a traditional confirmation gift. Rosaries come in a variety of gift sets that include prayers of the patron saint and fancy gift boxes for storing the beads.

Personalize It

Personalized items marking the celebration are good gifts. A plaque bearing the recipient's name and the date of the confirmation can be displayed for years. Personalized rosary beads, Bibles and decorative crosses are available at Catholic shops. Crosses and plaques come in a wide range of designs, colors and materials.
Concert Tickets

If the recipient is a fan of contemporary Christian music, tickets to hear his favorite band perform are a gift he will never forget. Many faith-based groups and musical acts appeal to younger audiences. Check local venues and ticketing agents to see whether his favorite band is coming to town soon. Tickets to a faith-based play or theater production are also appreciated.
