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 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 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.
