You can give you God son for his first holy communion a special crucifix, a painting of Jesus, a statue of Jesus, a painting of Jesus giving communion to a boy, a treasure box with holy and sacred things in it like rosary beads, bible, crucifix necklace etc. The most important thing is your gift must be relevent to the occasion and something that comes from you, maybe you could make him some thing. I know I was very touched when my God mother gave me a treasure box that she made with little scrolls inside with bible sayings and prayers, because I knew that she had put in a lot of time and effort just for me. Good luck!! :)
The safest and most appreciated bet if one is not a close relative is always money, but one can run the risk, in certain circles, of appearing careless. 20 to 50$ is generally acceptable. A book with a spiritual inclination could be a good idea and would demonstrate that one has tailored the gift for the occasion. Depending on one's familiarity with the child and the family, religious gifts such as a bible, a rosary, a statuette or an inspirational plaque show a good presence of mind, but are the obvious choice. A cross pendant is a very tasteful and safe alternative as well.
