Baptism gifts – our 5 ideas

• Photoshoot: This should be given to the parents and the child, so you can then capture the wonderful moments of childhood. Especially in this day and age, when pictures quickly disappear on mobile phones or hard drives, a photo shoot is highly recommended. Especially as the pictures can then be hung up in the home of the gift-giving family.
• A gift tree: This is especially suitable for families who particularly appreciate nature and have a sufficiently large plot of land. A gift tree is a beautiful symbol of new life and growth. If you give the tree as a christening gift, the parents can watch it and the child grow over the years. In addition, the child can marvel at “his” tree himself a few years later. Well-suited trees are, for example, fruit trees or, depending on the size of the plot, an oak or fir tree.
• A decorated baptismal candle: At the beginning of the baptism, the candle is lit and symbolises Jesus. From now on, he lights the way for the person being baptised. Traditionally, the baptismal candle can be lit every year on the day of baptism. However, you should always check with the parents beforehand to see if someone else has already given a baptismal candle.
• Individual money box: To ensure that the baptised child is also well off in the future, the financial basis should be created. Depending on your craftsmanship and the tools and materials you have available, you can also make a beautiful money box yourself. Wood, for example, is a good material for this.
• Nice and useful gifts: For example, you are always right with a nice cuddly toy, a romper suit or a small jumper is always a nice gift, especially if you have it individually designed. Beautiful keepsakes to display are also good gifts, for example photos with you, the parents and the child.
