Gift suggestions for godparents
DS2 is being baptized next weekend, and I need to get a little something for his godparents. They are very young, 21 and 20. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Re: Gift suggestions for godparents
LOL Nicole!! I think you need to have a talk with your sister!
We just got Benjamin's godparents a cross to hang in their house. It is made of all different size and color tiles with different sayings or words on them - Faith. Hope. Love. etc. I got it at the Hallmark store in Garden City.
I didn't give any gifts.... oops! My brother & SIL gave me a Bath & Bodyworks gift card. I thought it was very thoughtful, and I was not expecting anything.
My brother & BF are godparents to both my kids. I gave them each a gift both times. I think for Christian I gave my brother a Cross Pen that was engraved and for my BF I gave her a necklace with his birthstone in it. It actually inadvertently matched other jewelry she had.
For Gianna I got my BF a pate from a pottery type gift store in Newport. It says their last name and had the whole family's first name on it. Sort of like an "established"
For my brother I got him a return address label embosser thing. I was running out of ideas for him but I thought it was cool! He has everything anyway!
Hmm. I never got anything from my two godchildren. And I wasn't planning on getting anything for little boy's godparents (when we choose them)
Hrmph. lol
I didn't buy my kids' godparents a gift for their baptisms, either. That just isn't really done in my family.
However, every year at Easter and Christmas, they get special "godparent" gifts from the kids. Last year it was a magazine subscription.
We don't do it in my family either. I was joking around a bit. Being Godparent is gift enough.
We also do the same thing as you Alicia. At Christmas, I get a gift from the kids and not from my sister. Same for her with Ella.
I have given framed photos of the boys with little godmother/father specific poems in a side frame. Something along the lines of this but not exact http://www.amazon.com/My-Godmother-Poem-and-Frame/dp/B000RETN4S
I think it is simple but nice.
DH and I didn't get any gifts either - we didn't expect any though, being asked to be godparents was enough of a gift, I guess.
I think a thoughtful note about why you chose them, on lovely notepaper, would be a great gift.
