Baby Baptism Gift Ideas

Baby baptism gift ideas seem to focus on the religious gift, the engraved gift or the gift that increases in value over time. Most of the baby baptism gifts are not gifts for a baby; rather they are given to the parents to hold in trust until the baby reaches an age to appreciate the gift.

Of the religious-themed baby baptism gift ideas submitted by our online friends, the cross came in as the number one gift with the Bible as number two:

  • A Crucifix or cross (necklace, bracelet, etc.) is always a good gift for a baby baptism -- it won't mean much to the child until many years later, but the parents will appreciate it.
  • I think a great baby baptism gift is a children's Bible with the child's name imprinted on the front. It's a beautiful gift that they will cherish forever!

  • A child's book relating to God and faith is a good thing for parents and child to share. A children's bible with the name imprinted on the front.

Other baby baptism gift ideas are all about memorializing the event and giving a gift that will be passed on to the child once he or she reaches adulthood.

  • A sterling silver cup, fork and spoon set with name and birth date engraved on cup.
  • A gold ring, a gold bracelet with date on the back side and name on front.
  • Photo frames designed to display both a photo of the baby and the certificate of baptism.

Some people feel that after the baby shower, birth presents, etc, the parents are overwhelmed with clothes and other gifts. It is therefore best to give something to put toward the child’s future. At that age, cash or savings bonds are best.

  • a savings bond
  • Contribution to college savings accounts
  • Stock in Disney or Viacom

Finally, if you choose a keepsake gift that the child can't enjoy now, try wrapping it with a small toy (teething ring, rattle, depending on baby's age) on top of the package as trim instead of or in addition to a bow.

The next time you receive an invitation for a christening or baby baptism, we hope these baby baptism gift ideas will help you decide on the best gift to give.
