What’s a good present to get for a newly baptised baby boy?
I’ve never been to one, and I actually can’t go to this one either, but I’d love to send a present. Any good suggestions? I was hoping for something I can get online at babiesrus or Amazon. Thanx!

A Bible…

Baptised suggests a Christian denomination. Therefore, I would buy a babies first (very special) Christmas ornament….it’s a keepsake the family will have forever!

My son received a glass cross, it is beautiful, and it’s been sitting in the middle of his dresser since we got it almost 4 years ago. I think we can get it engraved also, I’m not sure, but we appreciate that gift very much!

I had my girl (10mos) baptised last Sunday and she got really nice things, like a gold tiny pendant with the Virgin Mary on it (we are Catholic), earrings for when she’s older, and she also got – this was what I liked the most- a book called “A baby’s First Bible”. It’s about 20 pages, a lot of drawings, very easily explained and very cute. I have already read it to her like 2 times.

These are typical baptism gifts:
– a nice silver (or gold) cross pendant on a chain
– savings bond (or some kind of investment like this in his name)
– a good set of rosary beads
The beads or jewelry you can get blessed by a priest, which is nice.

Anything really but usually a religious related item like a children’s bible (you could get it personalized for a special touch) a crucifix is a popular item, a rosary, a stuffed animal that says the lords prayer, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep…”, a photo frame That says baby’s baptism on it.
