I have a friends sons Baptisim on Sunday.
Any suggestions as to what? I'd obviously like to get something sentimental. If your child had a baptisim/christening what kind of gifts were they given? TIA  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Michaela was given a silver covered photo album and a silver money box. Some bunnykins cutlery. A lama wool blanket. A bible.
There's lots of adorable keepsake type stuff in farmers. -------------

The things I appreciated the most when my baby was dedicated was good Christian kid's books. There's a lot of choice too. ------------- Robyn www.scarecrowfarm.co.nz |

I bought Maya a children's bible, my parents bought her Royal Doulton Bunnikins stuff (family tradition) and other people bought her little ornaments and keepsakes.
Mum and Dad bought the gremlins a gorgeous china cross each with a child kneeling to pray on it. They were hanging above their cots but I suspect they have both been pulled down and are now behind the cots 
Oh and they all got rosary beads which is a Catholic tradition. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Cool, thanks for the ideas.
I had thought of the moneybox, frame kinda things from Farmers, but don't want him to get double ups and those things are pretty common I guess. I like the idea of a blanket so may go and check out craftworld this afternoon. Thanks again. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I bought Ana's Lily a tiny Baby Rosary, I bought my BFF daughter a gold crucifix, would buy a Kids Bible or Bible story book, maybe, as to me, a Baptism or Christening is about the whole God Aspect, not random gifts, I think its nice to give a religous gift, maybe the only one they get! ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Depending on where you live, you might want to check out some of the catholic shops in Akld, as they have lots of lovely gift ideas for baptisms. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
