Baptism Gifts for Girls From Godparents
The age at which a person is baptized varies depending on the tradition of the individual denomination. For some faiths, baptism takes place at birth. In others, the child must have reached the age of culpability and choose to be baptized. For godparents, the event is a special one no matter what the age of the child. They will often want to mark the occasion with gifts for their godchild.

Jewelry

Some little girls use the rosary their godparents gave them at baptism for their first communion. Religious jewelry is a traditional baptismal gift choice for girls. For girls being baptized into the Catholic faith, Godparents may choose to give crucifixes or delicate rosaries. Many Catholic stores offer baby bracelets that are one-decade rosaries designed for infants. Crib medals are also a popular choice for infants and some come in pink for little girls. For older girls, Godparents might give a cross on a necklace or a ring to remind her of her sacred day. Another choice is to get a bracelet made with her name spelled out in beads.
Picture Frames

Baptism is an event that is important in the life of a religious person or family. Godparents can give frames with pictures of the baptism or the girl so she can have a memory to hang on her wall or put up on her dresser. Godparents can choose from elegant silver or pearl frames or find ones that have religious themes as part of the design.

Christian Growth Candle
-
Godparents will be witnesses to many religious milestones in their goddaughter's life. One gift that Godparents can give their goddaughter is a Christian growth candle that can be lit on important sacramental occasions. It is given at baptism and lit during the ceremony. It is then lit again on such occasions as first communion, confirmation and marriage.
Music Box
-
A music box that plays sacred music can also make a special baptism gift for a little girl. She can enjoy the beautiful music and also use it to keep any baptism jewelry, sacred medals or a card from the day. Some companies will let a godparent personalize the music box with the girl's name and the date of her baptism.
