So for that we just give money, a card and a religious book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-do-you-give-for-a-baptism#post-1146392 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:42:51 +0000 78h2o 1146392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was given a personalized pewter cup, money, and some books of children's prayers. I think a toy is plenty. If you don't want to get a baptism card, you could just get a blank one and write in "Congratulations on your babtism". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-do-you-give-for-a-baptism#post-1146391 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:42:14 +0000 shinymama 1146391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have given personalized baptism gifts from etsy along with cash. I do stick to baptism cards, but the subdued versions with simple messages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-do-you-give-for-a-baptism#post-1146374 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:16:01 +0000 Kimberlybee 1146374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams: A picture frame or cash is usually very appreciated. It doesn't have to be too religious. I think just showing your support in attendance is a kind gesture in itself. It's probably too late to order from this site, but I love it for making gifts special <a href="http://www.personalizationmall.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.personalizationmall.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-do-you-give-for-a-baptism#post-1146368 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:10:41 +0000 JerricaBenton 1146368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A religious item like a cross or cash. If you're not comfortable with religious gifts I'd go with a keepsake item like a silver frame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-do-you-give-for-a-baptism#post-1146361 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:03:57 +0000 deerylou 1146361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're not inclined to gift some sort of religious token (a children's bible, a cross, etc), the next most common gift is money. I've given a silver piggy bank, before, and it was well received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-gift-do-you-give-for-a-baptism#post-1146358 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:58:19 +0000 californiadreams 1146358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been to one before and I'm going this weekend for my friends LO. I bought him a toy. Should I give money also?</p> <p> I couldn't bring myself to buy a baptism card since they all say such religious things and I'm totally not religious so it would feel weird giving a card expressing sentiments that are not my own. </p>
