Baptism/Godparent Gifts?

What's the etiquette for godparent gifts?  We're finally getting B baptized next weekend and I just don't know what to do for his gps.  Suggestions?

Re: Baptism/Godparent Gifts?

  • When I was my nephew's godmother I didn't get anything.  We didn't give Brendan's godparents anything either.

  • I don't think my sister and her husband gave us anything...I didn't expect it.  Is this the norm?

  • Neither Jason nor I have ever received a gift for being god parents.  I think the title "godparent" is gift enough honestly.

  • We didn't give them anything. 
  • I got a frame and DH got a few 'Godfather' (as in the movie) related items, and a frame.

  • For one Godchild I received flowers and I can't remember if I got anything for the other one. I would not be offended if I didn't get anything I really never expected it.

     We will however do something for ours, just not sure what yet. I am thinking for my sister a nice plant because she is pretty big into gardening.

  • I don't think you have to get them something. I didn't expect it and wasn't upset when we didn't.
    If i was to get something i think a frame would be great.

  • We haven't gotten gifts either.  I've honestly never heard of this, although I'm sure something small would be greatly appreciated if you'd like to anyway.

  • I didn't give the kids' godparents anything, I know they didn't expect anything either, I think just being their Godparent is enough for them.

    Later on I did give them a "Godparents" frame w/a picture of DD in it (didn't have DS at the time I gave it to them).  I was over to their home on Sat. & they still have the frame on their mantel.  I probably should update the picture w/both kids though.
