Baptism gifts can represent the spiritual theme of this momentous occasion.  One of the most notable religious symbols is the cross.  So what better way to symbolize a baptism than by giving a gift that displays the holy cross.  

Here are some cross themed baptism gift ideas that will create the perfect remembrance.

• Cross Wall Plaque – A day-to-day reminder as they grow of their being a member of God’s family.  You may even choose a design that has a special children’s prayer engraved on it.  
• Embroidered Afghan or Blanket – A lasting memento that can be stitched with a cross along with the baby’s name and their baptismal date. 
• Child Bible – This baptism gift is the perfect way to introduce Bible stories to a child with special illustrations that appeal uniquely to children.  Some designs may allow for personalizing.
• Engraved Photo Album – A wonderful keepsake with an engravable front cover to hold all the cherished photos of their special day for years to come.
• Customized Picture Frame – A custom-made way to display a cherished photo from their baptism.
• Cross Necklace or Bracelet – Infant-sized baptism jewelry will complement any baptismal outfit and will also be a great heirloom piece to pass down to future generations.
• First Rosary and Keepsake Case – Both are baptism gifts that will be inspiring souvenirs of the child’s baptism day. 
• Plush Bear or Lamb – Can commemorate this special occasion for years to come by having special words or a cross embroidered on it.  If it happens to be musical it may play a favorite children’s tune for the child to sing along with, such as ‘Jesus Loves Me’.

As you can see, there are many baptism gifts that will symbolize this once-in-a-lifetime Christian celebration for years to come.  Since they are only a baby, they will appreciate the keepsake gifts as they grow both physically and spiritually.
