Last Minute Baptism Gift Ideas

Our world can appear dismal at times. There are times when I feel helpless as I watch our world descend into chaos. Babies, on the other hand, offer me hope. The hope for a future generation to stand up and follow God, returning us to the cross. A generation dedicated to serving God.

Weddings, baby dedications, and baptisms are all occasions when I feel hopeful about the future.

Maybe you've been invited to a baptism or dedication of a baby. When parents pledge to raise their children to love and honour God, you are invited to be present.

Perhaps you've been invited to someone's baptism who is old enough to make the decision to follow Jesus. Someone who has repented of their sins and asked Jesus to forgive them.

Either way this is an opportunity to show your loved one how much you love them.

 

1. Baptism Keepsake Box by BlushinGifts

I kept a special box to commemorate my first born's first year. I never got around to getting the other kids that package. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way. In that box are memories from her baby dedication.

As a parent, this is the most crucial day of your child's life. You're promising God that you'll look after the treasure He's given you. Make certain you have an excellent memory box. 

Your loved one will want to have a way to remember this day forever. If you give this box as a gift, I would add a letter to the child for them to read when they are older.

2. Bracelet by Madewithbeads90

For their baby dedication, each of my girls received a ring. They were supposed to have the ring when they were older. We gave them the ring to wear when they were ten years old, to signify that they had grown up and were able to understand the pledge we had made before God.

This lovely pearl bracelet is one of a kind. It'll be a hit with your little girl. This is a fantastic tradition that should be carried on. It communicates to your daughter that she is cherished and appreciated. If you don't have to time to buy a present, something like this could be a great gift. 

3. Personalized Baptismal Keepsake Gift Box by BexsBoutiqueShop

We want to keep so much from our child's baptism or newborn dedication. They frequently end up in a Tupperware box, with the aim of upgrading to better packaging in the future. Give this as a present to ensure that your loved one has a safe place to keep cherished memories.

It's wonderful that this can be altered! Memory boxes are gifts that we don't often think to give, yet they're essential for every memorable occasion. This is a great last minute Baptism gift because it'll have alot of little things inside. 

Some of our finest recollections are of days spent with family. You are welcome to celebrate with your family when your child gets baptised. Celebrate with your family when your child is confirmed. Keep the date of your child's first holy communion in mind.

4. Necklace by Route22Designs

My kid was baptised in a pond when she was baptised. At the time, my youngest child was just five years old. We believed we'd explained baptism to my five-year-old, but we quickly realised she didn't get it. She was overjoyed to see her older sister's baptism.

However, when we returned to the same pond for a family outing a few weeks later, she refused to swim. She stated that she did not wish to swim in the pond containing her older sister's sins.

While that incident is an amusing family storey, it has a unique value for us. We do leave everything behind when we are baptised. It's a new beginning! "I left it in the water" is written on this necklace.

This is a great way to remind your loved one who was baptised that they are starting all new.

The date is a great way to customize this necklace. Not really a last minute Baptism gift but something personalized can make this present extra special to whoever you are giving it to.

5. I Decided Keychain by Route22Designs

I chose to be baptized thirty years ago at the age of thirteen. I don’t remember the exact date. I wish I had something like this to remember it by. 

Choosing to follow Jesus and be baptized is one of the greatest things our children will ever do. The choice to be baptized is the biggest decision we will make. It changes our lives and the lives of those around us.

It signals that we have chosen a different path, one of faith and obedience. It is a commitment that requires us to let go of our old way of thinking and begin a new journey.

I am so thankful I made this choice when I was young. For those you know who have made this choice, give them this gift to remember. 

6. 100 USD Digital Gift by Studio11Eighteen

Gift cards are always a great idea for last minute gift ideas. This is a wonderful one because it is for an etsy shop. There are so many reasons to give gift cards.

They’re a convenient way to put a little bit of money in someone’s pocket without having to wrap or hassle with delivery. Gift cards are also a great way to say, “I love you” without being so personal.

It’s a wonderful way to show your appreciation for a job well done without saying it in so many words.

I think this is a pretty common last minute Baptism gift and something you can give easily if you don't have time to go shopping. 

7. Baptismal Guestbook Alternative by WoodSignsByMajopage

I love when I attend weddings and they have something special for guests to sign. This idea is being used for other gatherings as well.

This is a wonderful idea. A cross for people to sign. The cross can then be used as a decoration and a reminder of all the people who came to love and support the person being baptized.

9. Personalized Baptism Gift by MamaSaysSigns

People will remember the time they were baptized for the rest of their lives. Following Jesus Christ is the first thing we do after becoming Christians. Water is a symbol for Jesus' blood. The blood of Jesus cleanses our hearts. Water baptism establishes our status as members of God's family. 

Give them this reminder so they will always know they are part of God’s family. This is a unique way to keep the information of the baptism forever. The card can be customized with the name and date of the baptism.

This is a great gift for parents to give their children who were baptized. It is a wonderful way to keep the information of the baptism forever.

10. Personalized Christian Cross by PolishedProductions

This gift might be offered at a baptism or at a baby dedication.

To a Christian, the cross is significant. The cross has always appealed to me. Probably because I've spent my entire life immersed in the Christian faith. I am reminded to stop and ponder about God's gift to me whenever I see the cross.

This present idea appeals to me for two reasons. To begin with, the personalized name serves as a reminder to your loved one that Jesus died for them. Two, there is a proverb that says, "May Guardian angels watch over you."

God promised that angels will be sent to look over us.

When my daughter was baptized, she was given a bookmark by one of my friends. I love this idea. You can put a bookmark in the Bible of your loved one so they can remember the date of their baptism. It is always wonderful to remember the occasion of your baptism. 

This is a great way to preserve the information of the baptism. The date you gave your life to Christ. The bookmark is left in the Bible, so it is always a visual reminder of the baptism. I think this is a simple but powerful last minute Baptism gift :)
