Baptism Gift

I've seen this asked before but didn't read them... I'm going to be a godmom for the first time this weekend - what do godparents buy as a baptism gift? I generally get a savings bond but am I supposed to do something more since it's my godson?

Re: Baptism Gift

  • For my godson I just gave a savings bond.  Normally I think something sentimental is also in order -- embroidered blanket, wall cross, silver cup, etc.  However my brother (the dad) and his wife aren't religious, so I just asked them first if they wanted anything like that.  Turns out that my mom and others were already getting some of that stuff, so I just stuck with the money.  :o)
  • I say do whatever you want to do, I've had 2 kids baptized & I appreciated anything we received (I didn't expcet anything, I'm not doing it for gifts).  Money for their accounts or a savings bond would be just fine. 

    I don't even remember if my kids' godparents even gave them anything, that's how much I was paying attention.
