Mexican confirmation gift

Its a coworker, give em 20 bucks and call it a day. Its not your relative.

This really isn't as hard to do as you are making it out to be. Get the kid a gift just like any other special occasion. The gift could be anything, religious or not, money is always safe, the amount can be any amount you choose. How do you usually gift money? I usually give more to family and people I am close with. If this is just a coworker's kid and you aren't that close, I would thing $20 is safe.

I have never heard of giving the parent a gift in this situation, but if you are feeling generous, go with something you would normally take as a gift to say a party, bottle of wine perhaps?

Thanks, guys! Will give him money and a little something religious to commerate the day.

Taco Bell gift card.

Quote from SueM : So what is the correct amount--50.00 or more?? I mean, 50 won't even buy you a video game anymore!

No way, try $10. confirmation is just a scam anyhow like first communion, if it meant anything you would do it on your own accord instead being forced into it, like all the other good little lambs, when you reach a certain age. so what if you get to meet the archbishop for 2 seconds like the other 500 13-14 year olds there

Quote from SueM : If it was an American kid who was just doing it because he had to, I would just give money. But it is really a big deal for my co-worker so I'm stumped.

Ahhh, so that makes sense...

American Kid = Religion is forced on them...
Mexican kid = Loves Jesus for half the cost...

So they have in fact confirmed that the kid is Mexican?

You think he is sick of Mexican food?

9Oooooooooooooo this is racist.
Do mexicans like differnt things then white boys? Just ask yourself what would white boy want?

I would just give a card w/$$. Not sure why it's any different because you know the child is Mexican. Except of course you know that if he was American he was 'forced' into the sacrament. Good grief. Maybe don't attend? LOL

I would avoid giving religious gifts, since he probably already has the items or will get them from his family members.

The amt of money just depends on the person. There is no right or wrong amt.

As for a hostess gift...if you know they like wine, sure bring a bottle of wine. Otherwise, I'd just bring flowers.

I think this is your best option. Shows you're understanding about the day's meaning to the family and the kid, and a little bit of cash never hurts.

Invite these people to the party:

I think we need to see his birth certificate first OP. He might be Kenyan for all we know.
And that...would be embarrassing.
