Playful Gifts for Baby’s Baptism
5. Noah’s Ark Stuffed Animal Play Set
I love the idea of a God centered toy. This Noah’s Ark play set is great for a young baby’s baptism! This is one of those fun gifts that help illustrate the promises God made to His children.
The elephant, lion, zebra, and giraffe are all plush and can be carried around in the ark. It’s a toy that they can grow into and enjoy for time to come.
6. Noah’s Ark Shape Sorter
For little ones who are being baptized around 24 months, this Wood Noah’s Ark set is perfect! Classic gifts made of wood gifts will last for generations. As they play with the animal shapes, they are developing small motor skills, not to mention the tangible reminder of Gods love for them and the earth!
7. The Busy Bible
This rag book is a great first Bible Story Book. With 12 Bible Stories, a story sheet and a carrying case, this is a great gift to keep little hands busy while in their car seat, sitting on mom’s lap on an outing or anytime. What a great way to introduce an infant to the heavenly truths of the greatest story on earth.
Personalized Baptism Gifts
8. Personalized Baptism Wood Cross
I’m selective about trinkets and knickknacks, but wow, this cross is so special. Who can resist the beauty of this customized gift, handmade by the folks at Seaside Sass. A gift as unique as the benefactor of the gift.
9. Baptism Wood Memory Box with Cross
I couldn’t help but add a keepsake box to the list! I love that it can be customized with their name, a cross, and the date of their Baptism. Boxes are great to give with a sweet letter of all your hopes for the baby. I often include a little photo book as well, so parents can print images as a memory of this milestone in their faith.
Baby will be receiving so many cards and little mementos, so this will be perfect to keep those special gifts in!
10. Bible Verse Swaddle Blanket
Last but not least, our Bible Verse Swaddle Blanket! This makes the perfect baptism gift, not only because is it unique but it’s useful. It can be used for a stroller shade, play mat, nursing cover, and so much more! When baby has outgrown it, the blanket can be hung as wall decor as a special reminder of the day they were baptized!
Each of these items will make the perfect gift for a Baby’s Baptism! When choosing a present, keep in mind that baby isn’t going to remember it. It’s important to find something that they can keep and display as a reminder of you.

Is Money a Unique Baptism Gift?
Giving money can be a sensitive topic. While cash gifts are always welcome, it can be tricky to determine how much is appropriate. If you are close to the family, a gift of $25-$50 is appropriate. Although if the family is aware of a loved ones difficult finances, a gift of whatever amount is appreciated.
Baptism Gifts from Godparents
Godparents have an important role in the life of a child. It would be appropriate to give something that is lasting, representing the lifelong bond between a child and their godparents. Here is just one example of one such gift.

This handcrafted bracelet comes in several sizes, and is gold filled and sterling silver. Made to last and be cherished for years to come.

Totally customizable, with soft pastels and a warm hearted note from the godparents to the child. As the child grows, this will continue to endear him to these very special people in his life.
