15 Confirmation Gift Ideas for Boys and Girls

Estimated Read Time: 5 minutes

Confirmation is a profound milestone in a young person’s life. It marks the moment they step forward to affirm the promises made at their baptism, taking ownership of their faith as they transition into young adulthood.

It is a joyous occasion, but for godparents, grandparents, and friends, it can also bring a challenge: What do you buy a teenager that is both meaningful and "cool"? You want a confirmation gift that honours the spiritual weight of the day but is also something they will actually use and cherish.

To help you find the perfect present, we have curated a list of 15 confirmation gift ideas that strike the balance between faith, function, and style.

In short:

Confirmation is a significant rite of passage where young people affirm their Christian faith. Popular confirmation gifts include Youth Bibles, sterling silver jewellery, devotional journals, and personalised keepsakes, designed to serve as daily reminders of their spiritual commitment.

The Essentials

1. A Youth Bible

For a teenager taking ownership of their faith, their childhood Bible might feel a little young. A modern Youth Bible, like the NIV Youth Bible or the ESV Teen Study Bible, is designed with notes, guides, and layouts that speak directly to the issues teenagers face today.

2. A Dedicated Devotional

Life as a teenager is busy. A daily devotional written specifically for guys or girls can help them carve out just five minutes a day to connect with God. Look for titles that address identity, peer pressure, and purpose.

3. A Premium Journal

Encourage them to document their walk with God. A high-quality journal—perhaps with a leather cover or a beautiful design by Hosanna Revival—is a private space for them to write down prayers, questions, and sermon notes.
