Not every family baptizes their children when they are still babies.
Some people do not believe in baptism for babies and they christen their
children when they are older. Therefore, it is best to ask the age of
the child if you are not sure. You should also be careful when choosing
the type of gift. Some of the best gifts are those that can be kept as
an heirloom, especially gifts made of sterling silver.
You can create your own gift by creating a decoration with the casting
of the baby's feet or hands. You can buy a kit to create this gift by
yourself. The kit contains everything you need to create a memorable
decorative item from the casting. You may also give the kit to the
parents and let them create the casting themselves.
Religious families will appreciate religious items. Bibles with leather
covers are classic baptism gifts that are always welcomed. You may also
give a rosary it the family is Catholic. Christian books, such as books
about Christian family values and how to raise a kid, are other
excellent choices. You may also give some books to the child.
Some people are practical and they appreciate practical christening
gifts. If that is the case, you can give baby quilts, clothing, or other
things the baby needs. You might also ask the parents what they need.
Some people even give monetary items to the parents or the child. You
should only give the parents this gift if you are sure they will not be
offended.
