Baptism gift?

Hi, my friend is having her baby baptized this Sunday and I want to get her (the baby) a little gift. Any ideas?

Re: Baptism gift?

  • Catholic? You could get a child/infant Bible, one of those giant wooden Rosaries (DD loves hers), or a small fancy Rosary.

    Other options are a savings bond or a nice picture frame to put either the baptism certificate or a picture from the big day in.

  • My First Bible?

    DS received a very small and very nice pewter wall cross and pewter crib medal.They hang over his light switch in his nursery. I love them.

    He has this one

    My sister got him a stuffed lamb from personalizationmall.com and it is monogrammed "God Bless (his name)" on it. It made me cry because I was still all hormonal and seeing his name monogrammed was one of those things that reduced me to a sobbing mess. 

     

     

     

  • Dr. L. and Punky's suggestions are good.  I got a lot of savings bonds when I was baptized - they came in handy when I was broke and just out of college.  :)

    I also have an engraved pewter cup that I got, and I still use it. I toss ponytail holders, barrettes, whatever in there.  Another nice gift might be a small cross necklace she could wear when she was older.

  • We got our friend's this kid's book of bible stories I wish I remembered the title of it, but our friends really liked it and read their baby a story from it every day. Then when their son gets older and starts to read, he can read them himself.

  • We always give bonds.
  • DS received mostly checks and bonds. My cousin got him THIS that says DS's Baptism and the date.
  • Now I'm just browsing Things Remembered's baptism gifts, and I really like this.

    And Punky, we have the same God Bless bear.
