Give a gift of spiritual commitment.

Adult Baptism Gifts

When gathering baptism gift ideas for family or friends, start by considering your role in the event. Parents sometimes wish to buy a personalized plaque or crib ornament for their son or daughter as a gesture of love and protection. An idea for an adult child is a collage of photographs from his youth; present it in a decorative frame.

Jewelry, such as a tiny bracelet for a baby girl or a cross pendant for an adult, is a meaningful gift idea. Godparents, aunts and uncles might begin a tradition with a simple piece to which additional pendants or beads can be added on future occasions. Adults may appreciate tokens of their conscious decision to enter the church. Bible bookmarks or crosses for their walls will renew their spiritual commitment every time they see your gift. They will treasure this sign of your support.

A witnesses or friend might choose a smaller jewelry pin to pair with a lovely card. If you are unable to attend the baptism, you can provide an item to be used that day. For instance, present the family with a special candle to be lit at home or at the church, symbolizing your presence at the ceremony.
