I went to Lifeway today and got her a little bag to carry her bible and stuff to church, a new Christian's interactive/fun devotional for kids (really great!), some scented pens for her devotional, and some cute lip balm (because she's a 10yo girl and loves it). </p> [attach=1879/14/nabiyh.449x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814581 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 16:47:07 +0000 Charm54 1814581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Kiva Points? I know it's not technically religious but it is a giving/charity/kindness theme . It's my go-to gift and always well received! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814557 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 16:33:53 +0000 Weagle 1814557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I really like this idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814499 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 15:55:42 +0000 Kimberlybee 1814499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like those journals where each page has a bible verse printed on it. I seem to find it often at TJMAXX or Homegoods. I like to use those as a gratitude journal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814440 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 15:25:54 +0000 gingerbebe 1814440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can order a PRINTABLE from Etsy as an instant download for way cheaper than the print and just have it printed on cardstock at Kinkos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814429 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 15:22:22 +0000 Smurfette 1814429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: A bracelet?

This is a bit over your preferred price point, but I'm sure other stores have similar items: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nadri-boxed-cross-station-bracelet-nordstrom-exclusive/3814952" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nadri-boxed-cross-station-bracelet-nordstrom-exclusive/3814952</a></p> <p>A cross for her wall would be nice, too. Christian bookstores will definitely have those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814343 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:47:14 +0000 simplyfelicity 1814343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I remember getting a couple books about being a Christian girl that I POURED over. Or maybe a devotional? These are all available on Amazon Prime, but seems a little dicey since its coming up so soon. I would get a book or two and a really pretty bookmark and call it a day. </p> [attach=4953/14/na9gaq.228x346.tweeny.png] [attach=4953/14/na9gas.160x160.51Mgilk98YL__AA160_.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814327 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:42:59 +0000 mediagirl 1814327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, if you go to a Christian book store, see if they have any nice wall hangings. You could get her a cross or something nice to hang in her room to commemorate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814325 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:42:10 +0000 snowjewelz 1814325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you can quickly make her a booklet or envelop system of encouraging Bible verses... Like "if you are discouraged...", "if you are doubting yourself..." Then put Bible versus and maybe some of your own encouraging words? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814315 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:39:36 +0000 mediagirl 1814315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: is she really excited about being a continuing member of the church? What religion is she? If she is Catholic, maybe a nice rosary? </p> <p>Edit - just saw you mentioned she is getting a bible so I changed my answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814314 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:39:21 +0000 swedishfish 1814314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about offering to donate $25 to a charity of her choice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1814304 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:36:52 +0000 photojane 1814304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> <p>I'm a terrible procrastinator and so now I don't have enough time to order anything cute from etsy. :sad: My first thought was jewelery, but my mom is getting her a diamond cross necklace. I think her parents are getting her a new Bible. I will head up to the Christian bookstore tomorrow though and see if I can find anything.</p> <p>If anyone has any suggestions, I'm totally open! Please share! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1813912 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:05:56 +0000 gingerbebe 1813912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get a Bible verse print from Etsy and put it in a frame for her wall. We have a ton from this vendor and just got a custom print done for our nursery:</p> <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/NotBySightDesign" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/NotBySightDesign</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1813693 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:52:30 +0000 simplyfelicity 1813693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Probably wouldn't be possible to order something in time but do you have a Christian bookstore/ gift store in town? They usually carry inexpensive jewlery, figurines etc to commemorate baptism. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christian-bees-baptism-gift#post-1813617 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:20:30 +0000 pui 1813617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, a piece of jewellery would be a really nice gift!</p> <p>Otherwise, perhaps an age appropriate bible study/devotional book?

All of us are going to my brother's church Sunday morning to cheer for her and make it a big deal. She's 10 (11 in December), and I want to get her a little something to show her how proud and excited I am. I'd prefer to stay around $25 or less. Any ideas? </p>
