I was recently invited to a baptism. I was excited for the occasion, to be able to visit with my family, and to meet the new baby. But as the date grew nearer, I realized I had no idea what to get as a gift. My cousin married into a family who were religious and attended Catholic church regularly. My family on the other hand is not religious, so I found I had no idea what was an appropriate gift for the occasion. After some searching and asking around, I came up with six gifts to buy for a baptism.
1. Keepsake box
 |
| Keepsake box from PotteryBarn Kids |
First Tooth and Curl Keepsake Box
Baby Imprints Keepsake Box
Wolf Designs Puzzle Box
These are pretty cute and are something the baby can keep in their room as they get older. Its also a great gift for parents.
2. Children's Bible
 |
| The Jesus Storybook Bible from Amazon |
My big Book of Bible Stories
Read with me Bible
The Preschoolers Bible
This ones all for the child. They will enjoy the picture book and the parents will enjoy reading it to them. Although this gift only lasts so long, eventually the kid will pass this level of reading.
3. Baby Keepsake Bracelet
 |
| This beautiful Cross Bracelet from Etsy |
Kay Jewelers Color Stone Childrens' Bracelet
Sterling Silver Cross Pendant
Super cute! But the child can only wear it while they are little. Even then its is something nice to keep around.
4. Personalized Gifts
 |
| Baby Girl Frame from Things Remembered |
Personalized Baptism Block
Emerson Stroller Blanket
Ceramic Personalized Ornament
A nice photo frame can be displayed for year. This gift will last a long time.
6. Prayer Buddy
 |
| The Wee Believers Lil' Prayer Buddies |
There are other cute animals that these Prayer Buddies come in. Each one plays different songs or prayer. They have Christmas buddies, Easter buddies, and even a Grace before meals buddy. This is also really cute for a young child, but they will soon out grow it.
I hope these ideas helped. For my gift I got a keepsake penny bank, and baby's first picture Bible.
