How old is the person being baptized? Boy or girl?

Re: Laura - re: baptistm gift

  • Boy, he's about 6 months.
  • If it's a Christian baptism, perhaps a children's Bible, with his name engraved? I've also seen some stuffed animals (bunnies) in a "kneeling" position, and when you squeeze their belly, they say a prayer.

    You could probably go into a Christian bookstore or something and find lots of things.

    And for what it's worth, it may be ok for you not to give a gift at all, depending on your relationship with the parents. Perhaps your presence at the baptism would be enough?

  • I missed the original thread for this, but if it's a Catholic Baptism (I'm guessing it is since it's a baby) then I love to give a baby St. Christopher's medal. He was/is the patron Saint of travelers and is known as the 'Christ-Bearer' for carrying the infant Jesus across a river. His medal's usually show him carrying the baby Jesus and say "Saint Christopher Protect Us"

    I also like to give tiny baby cross necklaces or Angel statues to put in their room, like a Guardian Angel.

  • These were good ideas ladies, but since we had the wedding on Saturday, we didn't have a whole lot of time to do any running around. So I just put cash in an envelope. Everyone can use cash! haha  We are good friends with the parents (DH actually went to HS with both of them) and we hang out with the regularly, so we felt like we had to do something.
  • You can never go wrong with cash!! Good idea!
