Baptism Presents - Gift Ideas for the Occasion

Are you looking for baptism gift ideas?

Baptism presents can be really hard to choose because, depending on the exact religion, you might find that you're dealing with someone of any age; but knowing the age often doesn't make it any easier to choose a gift for this huge occasion, either - so what does one give for a baptism gift that is appropriate and will be loved?

The gift of money

Many parents of infants and children will choose to set up an account for their little one's baptism. This can help you as the gift giver because all you need to do is give money for the child's account. The problem then becomes how much you can afford to give and your relationship to the child. Sometimes, you just can't give that much and in these economic times, that's okay, just don't be too "cheap" if you can help it.

Other gifts to keep the memory

So, maybe you don't have a lot of extra money to give for a baptism present, but you can still give a wonderful gift to help commemorate the occasion without looking like you're being "cheap". So, sometimes, it's better to choose a gift, but what does one give for this occasion?

• Depending on the age of the child, a bible suited to their age range might be a wonderful gift idea. Personalize it for an added touch, and don't be afraid to write something fitting on the inside flap of this precious book. Just make sure that nobody else is planning to give this gift so you won't wind up giving a baptism present that's already been given.
  
  
• Catholics might appreciate the gift of a rosary. Fashions change, styles change and so today's rosaries have many different looks that everyone will feel great about having with them. Plus, this is an inexpensive gift to give that still stands with the momentous occasion. Some retailers even have little keepsake porcelain holders that are beautiful decorations and serve as a wonderful place to store the rosary.
  
  
• Personalized christening frames to keep photos from the special day might just be what you're looking for. These baptism presents can get as personal as you choose, from the date and the name, to a bible verse that means something to you. These gifts might run anywhere from $30 and up, so try to choose something tasteful, yet inexpensive if you're on a budget.

Gifts for the godparents

Usually, when your child is baptized, you will want to give something special to the godparents of your child. Whether you have lots of extra money or you don't have much, you might find something really special when you work to personalize the baptism present you're giving.

Personalized christening picture frames can help to memorialize the occasion and give the godparents some really special memories. A silver frame can be engraved and won't cost too much money. When you add a photo of your child and her new god mother or father, you'll be giving a special gift that will be treasured forever.

Prayer stones are another really wonderful way for you to celebrate your child's new god parents and their faith. The right one can sit in a garden for years and years and will weather well, so, for the gardener god parent, this might be just the baptism present or gift to give.

Baptism presents don't have to be expensive or extravagant, but they should be personal and celebrate the occasion, so when you're shopping for baptism gifts, make sure that you put thought into the gift, and make sure the meaning shows.
