How much would you give a child for their Communion?

It’s that time of year again.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION season is in full swing as children across the country of Catholic and other Christian faiths prepare to take the Eucharist.

This time of year also brings the debate over how much money is appropriate to give a child on the big day. 

A new survey by Laya Life found that parents have reduced how much they are spending on a child’s communion, but what about gifts for children that aren’t your own?

So today we’re asking: How much would you give a child for their Communion?


Poll Results:

€50 (3592)
Depends on my relationship with the child (3094)
€20 (2752)
I don't give money for Communions (637)
€100 (533)
€10 or less (504)
More than €100 (160)
