Unique Gifts for a Baptism
Baptism is a ritual act in Christianity where one is traditionally admitted to the Christian church by the use of holy water. Since these ceremonies are usually performed in childhood, a gift given to a child at this tender age should be meaningful and personable so that the child will cherish the keepsake forever.

Bible
-
A Bible is the most suitable gift that can be given on a baptism. Bible books can be personalized for the receiver by adding the name of the child being christened as well as the year of baptism on its cover.
Holy Chalice
-
The holy chalice can also be used as a gift. The chalice, a symbol of divinity, is considered a biblical artifact. Some chalices can be used practically in regular kitchenware; however, most are too fancy and precious and should be preserved as a show piece.

Canvas Art
-
A personalized canvas art can also be a unique gift to be given on a baptism. On this canvas, the name of the baby, year and date of baptism or christening can be printed on a chosen background. Make sure the canvas is properly treated to be resistant from UV and environmental damage.
Baptismal Font
-
The baptismal font is a decorated stone basin which receives the water that is poured over the head of the person being baptized. It is usually supported on columns or pedestals. This gift can be further personalized by adding the name and other details of the baby entering Christianity.
