A First Communion gift they can enjoy beyond the day

A BMX, scooter or pair of skates can be a First Communion present your child keeps coming back to. Start with what they enjoy: learning tricks, skating with friends or playing in the garden. Then choose the size and budget.

The ideas below come from our Polish gift guide, with available options checked for the English store. Choose by the child's interests and fit. Any of these activities can appeal to boys or girls.

Prices and availability were checked on 10 November 2026. The budget groups use the English store's current prices in pounds sterling (GBP). Prices include the tax shown on the product page. Delivery charges, if any, and optional services are shown separately. Check the selected size and final price before ordering.

First Communion gift ideas under £100

Heelys for a child who wants to try rolling

Heelys Pro Minecraft — £55.28. One removable wheel in each heel lets the child practise rolling, then take the wheels out for regular walking. The Minecraft design gives a fan a familiar theme without choosing the gift by graphics alone.

Available sizes when checked: EU 32, 33, 34, 35, 36.5, 38, 39 and 40.5. Compare the insole lengths on the product page with a pair that already fits comfortably.

Heelys Ezzentials Minions — £49.34. Another single-wheel option, with a padded tongue and collar and an EVA insole. Choose the character design they like, then check the fit.

Available sizes when checked: EU 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38 and 40.5. Both Heelys models need time to learn balance and control; start on a suitable flat, smooth surface with a helmet and pads.

A stunt scooter for park sessions

Madd Gear MG3 Zen — £92.93. Its 495 × 114 mm deck and overall height of 81 cm give you clear measurements to compare before buying. The product page suggests riders around 138–160 cm tall.

A scooter is not a fit for every child of First Communion age. Check the actual height, reach and stance before choosing.

Roller skates or a pogo stick

Rio Roller Artist roller skates — £57.26. A high-top boot, cushioned heel and illustrated design make these an option for recreational skating. The available sizes were EU 37, 38, 39.5 and 40.5, so this particular selection will not suit a child who needs a smaller size.

Madd Gear Pogo Stick — £48.75. A different way to practise balance and bouncing outdoors. This model is listed for ages eight and over and a rider weight of 40–80 kg. Check both requirements; age alone does not establish suitability.

Gift ideas from £100 to £250

More deck width for their feet

Madd Gear MG4 Titan — £102.84. The 495 × 127 mm deck gives more width for the rider's feet than the MG3. Overall height is 83 cm, with a suggested rider height of approximately 140 cm and above.

A shorter deck for park practice

MGP MGX 450 stunt scooter — £207.85. A 445 × 114 mm deck and listed weight of 3.18 kg make this a setup to compare with the larger-deck scooters above. Overall height is 81 cm; the product page suggests riders around 145–165 cm tall. It may be too tall for a smaller child, regardless of the occasion.

A garden gift

IXFun garden trampoline with enclosure — £131.58 for the 305 cm version when checked. It gives the child a place for active play at home, provided the garden has enough room for the trampoline and the clearances required by its instructions.

Check the chosen diameter and price: different sizes can cost different amounts. Follow the assembly and supervision instructions, and allow only one person to jump at a time. An enclosure does not remove the risk of injury.

A BMX gift over £250

Radio Saiko 18-inch BMX — £455.54. This model combines 18-inch wheels with an 18-inch top tube and 152 mm three-piece chromoly cranks. Its suggested rider height is approximately 135–149 cm.

It is a size to compare for a child interested in freestyle BMX who finds a full-size 20-inch bike too large. Wheel size and top tube length are separate measurements; check reach, frame clearance and brake-lever access as well.

If you are choosing between sizes, read our children's BMX size guide. A more expensive or larger bike is not automatically a better present.

What makes a gift worth choosing?

Pick equipment for the activity the child actually wants to try. A scooter for skatepark tricks is a different purchase from a folding scooter for everyday journeys. A BMX is worth considering when the child is interested in that kind of riding.

• Check the fit: rider height and reach for a bike or scooter; the relevant size chart for footwear.
• Check the limits: age, rider weight and intended use for the exact model.
• Leave room in the budget: include a suitable helmet, pads and any assembly or setup needed.
• Plan the first session: choose a suitable place, follow the instructions and help the child learn the equipment.

Browse our helmets and protective pads. For the relevant equipment, read our BMX assembly and safety information or stunt scooter preparation and safety information.
