What to give for a Confirmation: meaningful medals

Confirmation is the sacrament in which the gift of the Holy Spirit is received and the faith received at baptism is confirmed. It usually takes place in adolescence, when personal taste is already well-established. That is why the gift must be meaningful… and also something they like.

Why a medal

A medal is the perfect keepsake of such a day: it can be worn every day, accompany them through a time of great change, and be kept for a lifetime. Giving a medal is an act of love: it is entrusting someone you love to God.

Ideas that work

• A simple cross, the most universal symbol, easy to match.
• The medal of Saint Benedict, for protection, which is very popular at this age.
• Saint Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of difficult causes, for that stage in life when everything seems like a challenge.
• The family’s devotional Virgin: Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Pillar, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal…
• A Saint Benedict bracelet, if they prefer something more discreet.

If you like Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, here are all our Miraculous Medals, handcrafted in Spain.

And if you are thinking of Saint Jude Thaddeus, here are our Saint Jude Thaddeus medals, the patron saint of difficult causes.

Tips for choosing the right one

Think about their style: colored enamels and natural stones are usually a hit at this age. If they prefer something more discreet, Saint Benedict or Saint Jude Thaddeus bracelets and medals are excellent choices. And if the godparent wants something special, a medal with a natural pearl is a keepsake for a lifetime.
