Explore some of our all-time favorite baptism gift ideas for girls of all ages, from babies to women. Whether you want a present that can act as an heirloom or keepsake or something more practical, there’s a gift in this idea list for you.
The Best Baptism Gifts for Babies
You’ve received a baptism invitation and need to find the ideal gift for a little one. When it comes to baptism or christening gifts for babies, opting for something cute and playful or a memorable keepsake is the way to go. These are some of our favorite baptism gifts for baby girls (and baby boys, too.)
1. Baby Rosary
A rosary is a lovely gift idea for a baby girl, especially if it’s one their parents can look after now and present to them when they’re older. It can serve as a beautiful reminder of the precious moments from their baptism.
2. Noah’s Ark Gift Set
For a religious-themed and practical gift for a baby’s baptism, give a Noah’s ark playset. Babies and toddlers can play with the animals and ark, and it also gives a nod to one of the most popular Bible stories for children.
3. Board Books
Little ones love board books, and so do parents and caregivers, making this a great baptism gift for girls to enjoy with their families. Pick a board book you loved as a child (or one your child has enjoyed), choose one with sweet, bright illustrations, or look for a Bible-themed story.
4. Stuffed Animal
Like a board book, a stuffed animal is an excellent baptism gift for girls as young as babies. Choose a classic teddy bear, a stuffed animal from a franchise you adore, or a Jesus-themed stuffed doll. This baby gift also doubles as nursery decor.
5. Personalized Baby Blanket
Another baptism gift idea we love is a personalized baby blanket, swaddle blanket, bonnet, or bib. Have the design personalized with the baby’s name and the date of their baptism, or have it embroidered with a beautiful reference to a Bible passage.
Ideal Baptism Gifts for Girls
If your gift recipient is a little older, the options open up more. You can consider keepsake gifts, practical items, and special treasures for them to look after as they grow. Here are some excellent baptism gifts for girls of any age.
6. Children’s Bible
For a young girl that’s about to be baptized, their own special copy of the Bible is a thoughtful gift idea. Find an illustrated version in a style that you like, and write a note to them inside the front cover. Every time they read it they’ll be reminded of your meaningful gift.
7. Keepsake Jewelry
Surprise your gift recipient with a piece of jewelry to commemorate the occasion. A baptism bracelet, ring, or necklace in 14k gold or sterling silver is a wonderful choice. You could also give them a cross charm for an existing bracelet if they have one. Add in some cute gift wrap with a bow, and you have the perfect baptism gift for a girl!
8. Snow Globe
Not every gift needs to be practical, and a snow globe is a great example. Look for a globe that features the recipient’s favorite character or colors, or stick with a traditional winter-themed design. If you’re feeling creative, you could even make your own DIY snow globe — just be sure to use age-appropriate materials or let parents know it’s a decor piece only.
9. Jewelry Box
Every girl needs somewhere to store their treasures, so why not gift them a jewelry box or keepsake box? Choose a box that matches their personal taste and style, and you could even fill it with a few small gifts to get their collection started.
10. Cross Decoration
Give someone a special gift that they can look after forever in the form of a cross-shaped or cross-inspired decoration. This could be a photo or picture frame in the shape of a cross, a silver cross ornament, or a piece of wall art that features the emblem.
11. Collectible Stuffed Animal
You can experience the joy of a new stuffed animal at any age, and for this age group, a collectible is a popular choice. Whether it’s a current hit or a collectible that reminds you of your own childhood, this is a sweet gift idea for godparents or parents alike.
Thoughtful Baptism Gifts for Women
Getting baptized as an adult is a significant milestone in your recipient’s journey with God. Celebrate this moment with one of these heartfelt baptism gifts for women.
12. Heirloom Jewelry
One of our favorite ideas for baptism gifts for this age group is a piece of jewelry that can act as an heirloom to be passed down or gifted on in the future. Examples of this include a pearl bracelet, a gold cross necklace, or another jewelry gift that has a special meaning to you or the recipient.
13. Devotional Book
Many adults struggle to find time in their day to be with God, and a book or journal to guide their devotionals is a thoughtful idea. Choose a book that can act as a reading guide, or one with daily prompts to encourage them to reflect on their Bible studies.
14. Personalized Journal
For another great keepsake gift idea, how about a personalized journal? Look for a journal or notebook that you can have embossed with their initials, or that you can customize with charms or other accessories in their favorite designs or colors.
15. Hobby Gift
There’s no rule that says baptism gifts for girls and women need to be religious. If you’re not sure what to give, something related to the recipient’s hobby is always a welcome choice. This could be anything from a painting set, to golf clubs, to a voucher for their favorite loungewear store. What’s beautiful about this gift idea is that it always feels personal.
