Baptism gifts can represent the spiritual theme of this momentous occasion.  The cross is one of the most familiar religious symbols.  So what better way to symbolize a baptism than by giving a gift that displays the holy cross.  

Here are some cross themed baptism gift ideas that will create the perfect remembrance.

  • Cross Wall Plaque – A day-to-day reminder as they grow of their being a member of God’s family.  Some designs even have a special prayer printed on them for the child to recite.  
  • Embroidered Afghan or Blanket – A lasting memento that can be stitched with a cross along with the baby’s name and their baptismal date. 
  • Child Bible – This baptism gift is the perfect way to introduce Bible stories to a child with special illustrations that appeal uniquely to children.  Some designs may allow for personalizing.
  • Engraved Photo Album – A wonderful keepsake with an engravable front cover to hold all the cherished photos of their special day for years to come.
  • Customized Picture Frame – A custom-made way to display a cherished photo from their baptism.
  • Cross Necklace or Bracelet – Infant-sized baptism jewelry will complement any baptismal outfit and will also be a great heirloom piece to pass down to future generations.
  • First Rosary and Keepsake Case - Given together as baptism gifts, they will be inspiring souvenirs of the child’s baptism day. 
  • Plush Bear or Lamb – Can commemorate this special occasion for years to come by having special words or a cross embroidered on it.  In some cases, it may even be musical and play a favorite children’s song such as ‘Jesus Loves Me’ which can teach the child to sing along with the words.

As you can see, there are many baptism gifts that not only symbolize but also create lasting memories of this once-in-a-lifetime Christian celebration.  Since they are only a baby, they will appreciate the keepsake gifts as they grow both physically and spiritually.
