Present Suggestions For Baptism, Christening And Communion
Baby Baptism, Christening and Communion – Treats to Give
Gifts for Baptism and Christening
The gifts you give for the child’s Baptism and Christening will not be too different. Usually Baptism and Christening fall within a few years, sometimes a few days of each other so that the type of gifts you give for both occasions will differ only with regards to the size for clothing.
Infants of a few weeks
Young infants might be given cute apparel, whether dresses for girls or playsuits for boys. Likewise, things like baby quilts and blankets are always appreciated. If you are sponsoring the Baptism or the Christening, you could gift the child with the gown or the suit he/she will be wearing to the event. Usually, for the Baptism of little infants, fashion gender does not exist and they can all wear gowns for their Baptism. Otherwise, gowns are appropriate for girls while suits will be for boys.
A picture frame especially designed with Baptism motifs or any other baby motifs are also useful gifts to give.
Many believe that rattles and jingles frighten away bad infuences and attract good ones. That is why people should never forget about baby rattles, noise makers and bells when shopping for Baptismal or Christening gifts.
There are beautiful baby’s clothes which feature button bells or caps with tiny bells attached to their top.
Gifting older children
You can give jewelry to older children. Such things as beaded or metal bracelets can be given to older children who know enough not to put those in their mouths. Smaller children should not be given bracelets or things that they could swallow with disastrous results.
In choosing jewelry, you have a wide assortment of bracelets and necklaces strung with bright and colorful crystals. There are, of course, those pieces of silver jewelry that you can hang pendants or bangles on.
Pendants can serve more than just decorative purposes. You could have the child’s name, home address and the cell phone number of its guardians engraved behind it. In the event the kid gets lost, as in a huge crowd, people will know how to contact the parents or guardians of the child or how to bring the child home.
Such pendants are functional even after the child has grown into an adult. In fact, all the way to old age, those identification pendants are great things to have.
Kids who can already make out images and read words could be given children’s illustrated Bibles or storybooks about the lives of the saints or telling about episodes during Christ’s life.
Gifts for older children on Baptism, Christening and Communion
For the First Holy Communion of the child, rosaries are appropriate gifts. There are many types of rosaries you can buy from religious store whether live or on the internet. Some are made of plastic. Others are made of plain or fragrant wood. You can also find rosaries which are made of crystals. There are affordable but beautiful crystal rosaries.
A prayer book is also excellent for giving as a communion gift. A concise version of the Holy Bible might also be appropriate.
Of course you can also gift the child with clothing.
It is important to celebrate Baptism, Christening and Communion
The landmark nature of Baptism, Christening and Communion for the child should be made apparent to him/her by celebrating those three occasions. They are very important events in the spiritual life of the child. However, you don’t have to have something even slightly extravagant. A table with snacks surrounding a modest sized cake will bring the point home.
