Disagree. While it is indeed a (possibly overly) generous amount to spend I don’t think many 7-8 year olds are realistically going to appreciate a charitable donation in their name- even if it is to a cause they are interested in, unless there’s some kind of experiential element that they can connect to directly. I would say save those types of gifts for adults/teens who can better appreciate them and let kids be kids.

We are a fairly religious Catholic family and I definitely don’t think there’s any stigma against giving a toy or a small monetary gift for a first communion. In contrast I’d find it somewhat strange for a non family member/godparent to give a religious medallion/cross etc, especially if they themselves were not religious. Also definitely no need to spend $100 (unless you run in particularly wealthy circles) $20-25 is perfectly fine. Barring a close family connection I would spend along the lines of what you would for a birthday gift.[/quote]
