What's an appropriate First Communion present?

I don't want to give anything religious, but I want it to be respectful. What about money?

Thanks!

1. For a boy or a girl?

Personally I think that money would be a little bit crass.

If you don't want to give anything religious - then for a girl a small piece of jewellry might be an idea.

3. I know you said nothing

religious, but expanding on tjwmason's suggestion, how about some cross earings. I received a pair for my confirmation, and although I'm now an agnostic, I still wear them.
