Boys Baptism Gift Brainstorming Basics
When choosing great gifts for a boys baptism, there are plenty of options to choose from. This can be a little overwhelming for some, especially if you don’t attend many of these events or aren’t religious. Picking the perfect gift doesn’t have to be daunting, and keeping these things in mind will help you get the creative juices flowing:
1) Consider sentimental gifts…
A Baptism is a perfect time to get a little sentimental with the gifting. Items like a personalized picture frame for the little bundle of joy, a special bible or rosary, or anything personalized with baby’s name make great choices
2) Consider something cuddly…
A special blanket, cuddly stuffed animal or plushie are great choices for gifts the baby is sure to treasure for years to come. There are many awesome choices out there with a religious theme, with lambs being the most common.
3) Consider something they can use to play and learn…
While traditional baptism gift ideas have a religious or sentimental theme to them, you can also go with something the baby can use to play and learn. Look for toys that will help them develop their coordination and other critical skills.
Our Time Tested Gifting Principles
Beyond the brainstorming basics, there are a few guiding principles you should keep in mind:
- Price isn’t everything - sometimes the best gifts are handmade, inexpensive, or free.
- Practical isn’t always best - treating her to something she may not buy for herself is always a good idea.
- Give from the heart - something that holds deeper meaning for her is sure to make a lasting impression.
- Be inventive - truly unique and creative gifts mean thinking outside the box.
How Much Money Should You Give For A Baptism?
If you decide to go with a monetary gift, you might be wondering how much to give. There’s no right answer, but be sure to give within your means and adjust for your closeness to the child. No one expects you to strain your budget, but typical amounts might be $100 or more for immediate family, and $20-$50 for distant relatives and family friends.
