Newborn Baby Boy Baptism Gift Ideas
When giving baptism gifts for a newborn baby boy, keep the newborn, not the parents, in mind. Gifts that the baby can use are key, such as a baby blanket, a silver rattle, hand-knitted booties or a personalized Bible. Even if the baby won't use an item, such as the Bible, until he is older, it will be a cherished memento of his baptism day. Personalized picture frames and gifts with spiritual meaning are always cherished.

Light Blue Personalized Bible
-
You can order personalized Bibles at Christian book stores and baby gift-item stores. Silver or blue personalized Bibles with the date of the baptism written inside, make memorable gifts. A Bible that the boy can use when he is older will become a cherished keepsake. Avoid purchasing a children's Bible, however, as children's Bibles tend to be purchased in duplicate for a newborn baby at an event such as a baptism. You don't want to chance purchasing a duplicated gift.
Pewter Baby Photo Frame
-
You can preserve the newborn baby's baptism by personalizing a pewter photo frame. An engraving store, most jewelry stores and some print shops can engrave the baby boy's name and date of baptism on the frame. Think ahead and ask for a photo of the newborn baby from the parents to place in the picture a week or two in advance of the baptism, in time to have the frame engraved. You can also give the empty frame as a gift and let the parents place their favorite photo of the baby boy in it.

Baby Blanket
-
A baby blanket is a welcome baby gift for any special event. For a baptism, consider cross-stitching or embroidering a cross in blue and stitching the baby boy's full name and the date of his baptism beneath it, on one of the corners. Parents can frame baby blankets later, or place it in a hope chest and save as a cherished memento. The blanket will get much use when the baby is newborn. Parents value baby gifts that they can use with the baby.
Baptismal Crosses
-
Baptismal wall crosses make special newborn baby boy gifts for the day of the baptism. You can buy them online or at Christian book stores or baby gift-item stores. You can find them in blue, or order one. You can get the crosses personalized with the newborn baby's name and his birth date or baptism date and an added scripture verse or special message.
