In many Christian denominations, baptism is a momentous rite of passage. Children might not remember many details of an event that takes place so early in their lives; for parents and extended family, however, every detail counts. Some baptismal ceremonies are performed before an entire church congregation, which only adds to the event’s prestige.

Baptism gifts should be more than ephemeral items to be consumed and discarded. The most thoughtful presents can be enjoyed as keepsakes for years to come, and they should include a personal touch. That’s not to say that all baptism gifts should be handmade, but they should at least offer some suggestion of a close personal connection.
