Personalized Baptism Gifts

Why therefore not thank these folks for the pleasure of sharing this moment with a personalized baptism gift? Why not take the time to give that extra – the personal touch!

Don’t let your gift drift into nothingness, easily forgotten and piled with the presents from all the other guests. Make sure yours count. Personalized baptism gifts have the magical ability to transform an ordinary gift into something memorable.

Personalizing a baptism gift is easily done and come in the form of all shapes and sizes. The beauty is that you don’t need to spend hours shopping for unique, personalized gifts. The goal can be easily achieved by making a more traditional baptism gift personal.

The two foremost ways to go about this is:

Embroidery

We know that not everything is suited for this, but some items make a perfect gift if enhanced this way. The first great way is a personalized blanket with the child’s name embroidered. Such a simple and easy touch, but I bet you that blanket will remain in the family for years to come.

Synonymous with embroidered gifts are personalized cross-stitched plagues. Every baptism should have one, so be the first to offer this as a gift. Bear in mind that you will need to order it a few weeks ahead of time. Usually with this gift you will need to consult with the parents first, so make sure to get the child’s exact date of birth, full name, the date of baptism, and the name of the church where the baptism will take place.

Engraving

Engraving is just as popular a method to personalize a baptism gift – if not more so. Anything with a reasonably solid surface can be engraved.

The most popular of these are jewelry (such as baptism rings and bracelets), picture frames, as well as various crosses, e.g. wooden, silver, ceramic, etc.

So the question is now asked, ‘What do I engrave?’ Anything really…..the baby’s name and birthday, a personal message, a bible verse, etc. The list goes on, but the key is that it’s from the heart and something the child will cherish.

Other random ideas to personalize your baptism gift include:
 
A personalized bible with a special message! Hopefully this child will live by this important book, and what a great way to encourage him/her with a message of encouragement and hope straight from the heart.

Photo albums of the baptism day are also very popular and uniquely personal. Of course they can only be presented a few days after the big day, but will still be a gift remembered.

Finally a novel idea we came across is a hand crafted piggy bank with the baby’s name. Can’t think of a better way to get the kid on the road to financial freedom with a piggy bank to put his first coins in!

What makes personalized baptism gifts so great is just that – they are personal. It’s a big day for the child and the parents, and there’s no better way to show you care, by giving that little extra.
