Unusual Baptism Gifts
Presenting a gift is a customary gesture when one is invited to a baptism. There are a number of traditional baptismal gifts to choose from--but you do not want to show up with the same silver cross as another guest. You may want to set yourself apart from the crowd in the gift you give. Consider a unique baptism gift for the blessed event.

Religious Collectibles
-
Purchase a religious collectible. This includes items such as Madonna dolls that were made by nuns--and representative of the order of which the nuns belong. The dolls are dressed by the particular order and stand apart from other orders. These are collectible and very unique, because they are not made any longer. This will give the child being baptized something to show off and remember you by for a long time to come.
Security
-
Providing stock in a solid company is a non-traditional baptism gift. You can also purchase stock options or savings bonds for the baptism. This will give the child some financial security in the future, because the bonds will mature and be available to the child at an appropriate age. The stock may continue to grow and provide some financial security for the child.

Personalize
-
Rather than buying a picture frame with the baby's name on it, have a picture taken at the baptism made into a cartoon. This is a great gift for a family with a healthy sense of humor and will make a great addition to the baby room. Make the new baby a star. Personalize a magazine cover with the child's photo on the cover. You can customize the headlines and create a sensational keepsake.
