A Baby Magazine Frame with the baby’s baptism photo, decorated with a colorful green background and a list of whimsical article titles emblazoned on the front can be a wonderful addition to the child’s room.

A Birthday Countdown Candle can also be a great baptismal gift. This keepsake candle can be used in counting up the years of their life from the first year till they reach 18.

Finding a unique baptism or christening gift can be quite the overwhelming task, especially if you are not a member of the baptism candidate’s particular church or denomination.  There are so many choices, many of them personalized, that would make wonderful keepsake gifts that would be cherished for years to come.

The proud parents of the child will certainly be eager to show off a photo of their child in his or her baptism gown, so a personalized picture frame would be a welcome gift. These may be either engraved silver, hand painted wood or ceramic frames.  Many times, the family priest and godparents will accompany the child in the photo. You can’t go wrong with this gifts; the more the better!

Sterling silver baptism crosses are another unique idea for the baptism candidate.  These can be of either simple or ornate design; many times the christening date or child’s initials will be engraved.  When tied with satin ribbon, they make unique bible markers; they can also be framed for a lasting memento of the special occasion.

Many choose a fine leather or cloth covered Bible to present the child.  Again, personalization can make this a gift to remember.  Adding the child’s name embossed in gold, along with a special hand written note inside, will make your gift cherished.

A truly unique gift for a baptism is a personalized record of the event.  Famed wall art, such as the ones found at ivyrosegifts.com, or a ceramic plate with the child’s name, baptism date, church name or location and the presiding minister or priest’s name can be hung in the baby’s room for years as reminder to parents, godparents and relatives and of this milestone in their child’s life.

Baptism happens to be one of the most important commandments given by Jesus Christ as a common practice preached by the disciples as a ritual act. Similarly, ‘Baptism’ is a word derived from a Greek word ‘Batizo’, which means immersing or performing ablution.

However, some differences could be witnessed in the act of Baptism ranging from various ethnicities and some Christians such as the Salvation Army and Quakers do not deem it as necessary as part of their Christian belief.

As rituals and beliefs are practiced by people, gift giving becomes part of the culture as an act of friendliness and love and the arrival of a new baby is marked by great joy and enthusiasm. Therefore, there is a huge range available for gift selection and thereby making the christening ceremony one of the most memorable occasions celebrated. Looking back in time would a child realize how worthwhile and cherished his or her birth was. Hence, one best way to do that is selecting the right gift for this moment in life.

Buying a relevant gift online requires through search and the knowledge in terms of baptism gift. One of the most gifted and traditional gift is the picture of the Guardian Angel which is shown to be guiding children to cross a bridge or bestowing a hand of blessing on a baby while it sleeps.

Another or rather the second most admired gift is the Christening blanket which usually has sayings painted or embroidered on it.

Other gifts include Baptism baby jewellery, lullaby lambs (stuffed toys), customized crosses, baby bracelets, christening gowns and even customized Bibles to develop an interest in the religious script from the early ages as the child grows to reading level.

Likewise, there are not only gifts for Godchildren but for Godparents as well to cherish the precious moment to celebrate a baby’s arrival and welcome him or her to this world.

The era of progress in terms of style and art allows having different gift ideas and packages in accordance with gender. Thus, when talking about customization, there is an availability of pink Bibles for baby girls with their names written on it or blue Bibles for boys. Similarly, while buying crosses online, there is an option of availability of colour and name engravings to be done; also this option could be utilized for bracelets and keepsake boxes and cups.

Holy rosaries are made available for gifting to both Godparents and Godchildren and also a wide range for plaques and customized plates are available as gift giving where the customer gives a name to be printed on them for the very special occasion.

Gift ideas are numerous and sought easily but it’s up to you about how to make this special occasion memorable and as resplendent as possible through selection with respect to customization and picking the right gift at the right time. All religions are blessed with occasions to celebrate and make the occasion more meaningful and therefore, you can make it more resplendent with the choice of the right gift to present to the God child or the God parent.

Think outside the box. Sometimes it’s a good idea to buy the young baby boy something that he will be able to use and has handy applications. I can hear some folks screaming at me, saying these gifts are more appropriate for other occasions. Think again! Most guests think about the same stuff others think about, why not get the baby boy something that can actually benefit him.

Gift baskets

These baskets are very popular gifts and include a range of very practical accessories such as bibs, boots and balls! For boys, the standard colour is blue and that still remains the popular choice. The great thing about these gift baskets is that it has a range of different gifts. You therefore won’t be limiting yourself to a certain gift type.

Growth Charts

Can you recall your growth chart on your wall when you were a kid? Sometimes I used to measure myself once a week!! Let’s face it, kids love it and it’s an impressive gift that the parents can put up in the baby’s room for use as he grows older. Consider personalising the growth chart with the boy’s name and perhaps a nice message.

Clothing

By now you may be thinking that these gifts are more suitable for birthdays and baby showers as opposed baptisms. The fact is that most people buy the keepsakes, and although they are great, most parents appreciate the things they can use and save a little money also in turn. Baby boys always need new clothes. They grow bigger and they grow quick. The parents will appreciate clothes and view it as a thoughtful gift on your part.   

Toys

Boys love their toys! It starts when they are little babies and it really never stops. The only difference it gets bigger as they grow older. Baby’s love all sort fo toys and parents sometimes just can’t keep up. Hop into your local Toys ‘R’ Us (or any suitable retailer for that matter) and you will have loads to choose from.  

Books

No, I don’t mean particularly buying Christian or spiritual books. Chances are the parents already bought their little boy a bible, so perhaps you can buy him some great children story books. Every child loves a good bedtime story,. So help the parents out by giving them some good ones to read.

Baptisms are happy occasions that deserve to be celebrated. Try to think a little different than the other folks and get something that will really have meaning and use for the young boy.

Baptisms are tremendously special and celebrated occasions. They signify a step of faith and a lifelong commitment to God and goodness. Baptisms can take place from as early as infancy, others may occur at adolescence or even adulthood, and when an infant, child or person is deemed as ‘ready for baptism’ will depend on the Faith or Religion the individual is being baptized into. This is important to note since giving a baptism gift should be appropriate for the newly baptized person or for the newly baptized infant and his or her parents. But at any rate, baptisms are truly special occasions and should always be remembered not only by the baptized person, but also by those who witnessed the step of faith. So here are five baptism gifts that the baptized person will never forget and you will be remembered for a long time.

One of the most popular baptism gifts since time immemorial has been jewelry, and today jewels are no less popular. In fact its popularity has increased to such an extent that baptism gifts of jewelry are specially made and personalized for the person who is getting baptized. This customizing approach to the age old giving of jewelry makes the baptism even more special and memorable, and it is something that the newly baptized person can carry with him or her throughout their lifetime. For newly baptized infants and babies Baptism Bracelets make great gifts, and if you want it to be unforgettable you might consider getting an exquisitely handcrafted silver or gold bracelet with Chinese freshwater pearls or the infant’s birthstone, or Holy Rosary Gems.

Another unforgettable baptism gift is an engraved antique plaque or a handcrafted wooden keepsake box personalized with name and date or some other token that will touch the heart and emotively remind the baptized person of that most cherished time. Pewter Baby Crosses are particularly remarkable baptism gifts as they are usually made out of rare stone such as the Austrian Crystal blue stone and etched in the stone cross are numerous messages to choose from so that your gift is sentimental and personal. The wording on one such cross might read “In One Spirit all of us are baptized into the one body of Christ”.

A third way to really be remembered just from the baptism gift you gave is to put together a time capsule. There is no better way to capture a moment in time, especially moments and people that should never be forgotten. Baptism time capsules are usually a treasure chest or trunk like storage unit that are made from a variety of materials such as wood, glass or stone. And the time capsule usually contains a woven or embroidered baptism blanket or towel, a cross or crucifix, a baptism rosary, prayer book and bible, all of which were used at the actual baptism. And to add an extra personal touch, photos and pictures taken at the baptism can be placed in silver or engraved wooden picture frames.

A fourth way to make you and your baptism gift unforgettable is simply by keeping it simple. Many people may opt for religious memorabilia which a great for the occasion, but your gift may not necessarily stand out amid all the other similar gifts. So use some simplicity, creativity and thoughtfulness and you can make a lasting impression. You can turn an ordinary, hard-cover journal book into a lifetime motivator for the baptized person by simply upholstering the front and back covers with any type of plain or patterned cloth or soft material that’s easy to work and will give the book a divine appearance. The best part of this gift is what is on the inside! Before the baptism present the Baptism Journal to family members, friends, fellow church members, Holy Fathers, Priests and others who know the person to be baptized, or those who simply want to give their well wishes, and have every person write something inspirational or encouraging in the journal until you have filled all the pages. Your final baptism gift will be an entire book written especially for the baptized person. Now that’s unforgettable!

And finally, give something Biblical. Things like a personalized solid silver Noah’s ark, or personalized stone Tablets of the Ten Commandments, or paintings and religious art work depicting scenes from the Bible such as The Last Supper, Mary the Mother of God and Jesus on the Mount. Whether in print, paint, metal, stone or sculpture, religious art work, just like the act of Baptism, can speak to the spirit and touch the heart.
