If you have a new baby in the family and you will be attending a baptism, you know that the expenses can add up. There are clothes to buy, decorations to help with, and definitely a gift to bring. Baptism gifts tend to be slightly more expensive than some other baby gifts because they are more specialized and a smaller number of people are shopping for them. There are, however, several options you can buy that are every bit as meaningful and useful as more expensive gifts. Here are a few ideas for cheap baptism gifts that you may not have thought of.

1. Books. Baby books are not usually thought of as a baptism gift, but they can be extremely appropriate, and cheap. Books can be found for a few dollars at most baby retail locations or online. You can usually find them in clearance and sale sections. Since books for babies are not usually that expensive to begin with, if you can find a baptism related book on sale, you can really save yourself some money. Put several books together in a gift basket or set and you will have a very impressive, yet inexpensive baptism gift to give.

2. Stuffed Animals. Most people think that if they are going to bring a baby a stuffed animal for a gift that it needs to be large and expensive. This is definitely not the case. Since baby’s are small and baptism is about meaning instead of grandeur, you can get away with a smaller and less expensive stuffed animal. Find one with a baptism theme, cross, or that plays music and you will have a home run gift.

3. Accessories. Baby clothes always make a great gift, but once you start buying a whole outfit, especially a baptism ensemble, it can really add up. To still bring a nice gift, but save a little bit of money, you can opt to buy a couple of nice baptism or cross accessories. Think embroidered hats, socks, and bibs, or even think about decorative accessories like a candle, small picture frame, or decorative object or certificate.

These are three easy and cheap ideas for a baptism gift. Start here and branch off into other areas once you get a start. You don’t have to spend a lot to make a very meaningful impact on a baby’s baptism day.

Not all baptisms are for babies. Some children and families decide that it is better to wait until they are a little older and know the meaning behind the practice. Whatever the reason, if you are going to be attending a baptism for an older child, you will want to bring a gift that is appropriate. Stuffed animals and baby clothes will most likely not work. To help get you started, here are a few ideas for baptism gifts for older children.

Jewelry

Jewelry is a main-stay baptism gift because it works for boys and girls of all ages. If you are buying for an older child, think about getting jewelry pieces that are appropriate for the age they are at now and for when they are an adult. Rosaries are the classic example of a universal piece that can work as a timeless keepsake for many years to come. You can personalize a rosary with different colors and accents, but the main meaning behind it will always stay the same. Other classic jewelry gifts that would be appropriate for an older child are pearls, diamonds, birth stones, and simple silver or gold pieces. Steer clear of buying rings that would have to be sized and opt instead for bracelets, necklaces, or even cuff-links. Engrave or personalize it in some way to make it even more special.

Keepsake Items

Keepsake items can be anything that the child will cherish and that will remind them of their special day. You can find many plaques, crosses, wall art, and poems that will be easily hung in their rooms, or you could get items that can be displayed, worn, or used. Think about accessories like shawls or scarves, display objects like statues or candles, or crucifixes and biblical wall art. These items are easily personalized and will grow with the child.

Gift Certificates/Experiences

If you really want to think outside of the box for an older child’s baptism gift, you can get them a gift certificate to go out and learn more and get more involved in their faith. Think about religious retreats, seminars, or outings where they can get to know people and children who have the same religious background as they do.

These are just three easy ideas for baptism gifts for older children.

Baptism gifts can sometimes be a little tricky to buy, but a tried and true gift that always works is a bible. A baptism bible gift is in keeping in line with the meaning of the occasion, and it is also something that the baby can use as he or she gets older. This gift idea can also take on several different forms. Here are some ideas for baptism gifts that are related to baptism bibles.

Books

Books related to baptism come in many different forms. They can be children’s books that tell the story of what baptism really means, or they can simply be a rhyme or happy take on baptism related themes. In either case, books work extremely well in the place of baptism bibles for gifts if you want to get something not as serious or a little bit more fun. Books like this also provide a time for parents or Godparents to sit down and read with the child in order to get them more acclimated to their faith.

Bible Accessories

There are also many bible accessories that can go along with the main gift of the bible. If you are buying a child version bible, you can get different covers, bookmarks, or pens and pencils to go along with the bible. In this way, as the child gets older, they can mark pages, write in, and also protect their bible while also making it more personal to them.

High-Tech

As with many gifts, you can now find high-tech versions of old stand-bys. One such item is an electronic bible that will actually read verses out loud or show the different pages of the bible on a screen or tablet. You can find these electronic versions easily online and they may appeal to young children more than a traditional paper version bible.
Getting a baptism bible gift is easy and meaningful, but you can also use the ideas above to make your gift stand out even more and make it personal to the baby you are giving it to.

With all of the different baptism gift ideas out there now, it can sometimes be hard to decide on exactly what you are going to get. This is where baptism gift sets come in. They are easy to create yourself or find already done ones online. Here are a few things you should think about if you are going to get a baptism gift set.

Themed

You want to make sure that the set you choose is themed for baptism. If you would like to do something a little more modern or non-religious, you can get a set that has boy or girl themed presents in them instead. Make sure that the items in the set are specific to the baby you are buying for and try to make them as personal as possible.

Time

If you want to make a gift set yourself, think about how much time you have to make the set before you begin. You will need to get all of the pieces and gifts to go in it, create and overall theme and layout, and find an appropriate container to hold everything. If you would still like to give a gift set, but you want to save some time and possibly money, you can choose to buy a set already finished from online instead.

Ideas

If you are completely out of ideas or do not know what is appropriate to get, then baptism gift sets are the perfect option because all of the decision making has been done for you already. Just make sure to get a set that is within your price range and that you like and you are all set.

Keep these ideas in mind when you are shopping for baptism gift sets and you will be sure to have one of the best gifts at the ceremony.

A baby’s baptism is not usually thought of as a modern event. Baptisms have been around for centuries for babies and adults alike, and they have been bathed in tradition and sentiment. But, that does not mean that there are not more modern takes on traditional baptism gifts. With new times comes new ideas and most parents will appreciate getting something that may be a little bit more with the times and useful to them and their baby. Here are a few ideas for some of the best modern baptism gifts that you should consider getting.

Music – There is a lot of new religious music out there that now sounds just as modern as what you hear on pop or rock radio. You can also find baby religious music that can be equally fun for them to listen to as Barney and Friends, but maybe they can gleam a few insights into their faith as they grow older and can understand some of the words.

Jewelry – Jewelry has been suggested as a baptism gift on this site many times because it really is a traditional gift that can be given a modern twist very easily. You can still do a cross themed piece, but maybe you incorporate some modern elements like titanium, platinum, or exotic stones. You could even have a piece crafted by an artist. There are many online stores that offer unique pieces that are still very relevant for a baptism, but have been done in a new and interesting way.

Keepsakes and Decorator Items – This idea is also similar to jewelry in that you will usually find a lot of picture frames and keepsake items being given for baptism gifts, but that doesn’t mean they have to look like everyone else’s. If you are crafty, you can create a unique frame with your own personal message to the baby on it, or you can buy something that is one of a kind, or even have something commissioned. You can even take a very modern element like a toy or a book and have it personalized with the baby’s name and a baptismal message from you on it.

These are just three of the best ideas for a modern baptism gift that you might want to think about looking into. You can also explore a wide range of more readily available ideas by visiting our new store HERE.

A baptism or a christening is definitely a religious event, but sometimes family members and friends who are attending might not feel comfortable giving a religious themed gift, especially if they are not the same faith as the family. When this happens, it is still polite to give a gift to the baby and the family, but you can find gifts that don’t necessarily read as being religious, but still fit into the theme of the day. Here are a few ideas for non religious baptism gifts that you may want to consider.

Picture Frames

You can’t ever really go wrong with a picture frame gift. It is meaningful and it will remind the baby and their family about their special day for years to come. Get the frame engraved or have a personal message put on it to make it more special.

Jewelry

Jewelry can also be a great gift. A very popular option is to get birthstone jewelry. This makes the gift personal and specific to the baby, but it is also not something that is specifically religious.

Books

Books are also a gift that is appropriate to give at a baptism. You can find educational books or books that talk about kind things to make them fit in with the baptism.

College Fund

Another great option is to set up a college fund for the baby and contribute to it each holiday or on the anniversary of their baptism. You can also just make one lump donation to get them started.

Stock

You can now find stock in low denominations that is sent to you framed. This makes a perfect item to display on the baby’s nursery wall, but it is also valid. Think about companies like Disney, Gerber, or Plaskool, for example.

Keepsake Items

If all else fails, you can get the baby a keepsake item to have with them as they grow up. Get the item personalized, monogrammed, or engraved to make it a keepsake. Think about getting ornaments, silver boxes or booties, rattles, spoons, or any number of non-religious object.

You can find a lot of these items the easiest online through the link  HERE, or you can browse the many products that we have picked in our Store.

If you are a godparent and are looking for baptism gift ideas for girls, you know that there are some suggestions and ideas that are a little better than others. Most godparents want to get something that is a little unique, but also something that fits in with the theme and tradition of the day. Below are our ideas for baptism gifts for girls from godparents.

1. Jewelry. Jewelry is one of the most widely given baptism gifts for a baby girl. It is classic, meaningful, and useful. Although most baby girls will not be wearing the jewelry right away, they will keep the jewelry and most likely wear it on special occasions. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings are all popular. Try to make sure you stay with a religious or baptism theme by getting cross, birthstone, or engraved pieces. For a more modern touch, you could go with diamonds or birthstone jewelry. To make the piece extra special, you might want to take the extra step of having a special message, the baby’s name, or the baptism date engraved into it.

2. Clothing. Clothing is also another great option for godparents to give to a baby girl on her baptism day. A lot of parents like to dress up their baby girls a lot for their baptism, so as godparents, you could offer to buy the baptismal gown or dress. If you wanted to leave the dress to the parents, you could opt to get some of the accessories, or get a casual outfit that the baby can wear once she gets home from church so she doesn’t get her formal outfit dirty.

3. Keepsake Items. Keepsake items are timeless. You can find any number of objects and have them engraved or monogrammed to make them personalize baptism gifts for girls. You can get jewelry boxes, silver rattles or booties, crosses, wall hangings and plaques, or even ornaments if the season is appropriate.

Baptism outfits for toddler boys do not have to be hard to find or expensive to buy. Most people are looking for infant baptism clothes, but you can also find a good selection of baptismal clothing for toddlers.

One of the easiest things you can do to shorten your search time is to look online. When you look online, you can do a quick search to narrow down your results so you are only looking at baptism outfits and gowns for toddlers. Be sure to click on as many listings as you like since oftentimes the picture or description is not always reminiscent of the sizes that are available. You really do need to click on the listing and see what sizes are available before you decide if you are interested or not. Many people think that there is not a big selection of toddler baptism clothes simply because they did not take the time to see all of the sizes the outfit come in.

Baptism related clothing also makes a great baptism gift for the family. Many families are already spending a lot of money on the baptism decorations, favors, and gifts for the Godparents. It would be a huge relief for most parents to not have to spend money on the outfit that their baby is going to wear during the mass. If you do want to buy formal clothing for the baby to wear, make sure to check with the parents that they are OK with letting you do this and to find out what their preferences are. If you do not want to buy the formal outfit, there are a lot of baptism themed clothes for toddlers on the market that you can also choose from. As with any baptism gift, make sure that it has a cross or some sort of baptism theme on it so that your gift is appropriate for the occasion.

If you are looking for a gift that you can put baptism prayers for babies on, then you know that there a few different options you can choose from. There is everything from décor items to clothing to bedding ensembles. Here are a few of the more popular gifts with prayers on them that make perfect baptism gifts.

Decorations
Decorations for the baby’s nursery or bedroom are one of the easiest things that you can put a prayer on. They are also easy for the baby and the parents to reference when they are trying to think of nighttime or meal time prayers. Baptism related décor also keeps the memory of the special day present in the baby’s everyday life. You can find cross wall plaques, framed pictures, craft items, and even mirrors and shadow boxes. You could also choose to look for blankets or bedding items with prayers on them. These items are also decorative, but they are also functional and help the baby learn certain prayers easily.

Keepsake Items
Keepsake items are anything that you can buy that you can have personalized. You can get jewelry, picture frames, silver or pewter objects, or even ornaments if the time of year is right. If the item is blank or has a certain spot where you can add writing, research your favorite prayer that you would like the baby to know and remember and have that put on the object. You can usually find frames and other memory items with prayers already on them if you don’t have a specific one in mind.

Clothing and Toys
Clothing and toys are necessities that any baby needs, and both items are very popular gifts for a baptism. You can find both of these items with partial or full prayers for the baby on them. In this way, the baby can be wearing or having fun with their prayers, as well as using the piece of clothing or toy on a daily basis.
