Symbolic Baptism Gift Ideas
Plant A Tree For Baby
This gift symbolizes growth, food, sustainability and life itself. Give baby a tree as a baptism gift. Suitable is a fruit tree such as an apple tree to plant in "baby's" garden. Give the tree in a pot and plant with baby's parents or once the baby is a toddler and can help, too. The little child can see its tree grow and some years later the kid will love to watch the apples grow, harvest them and eat them.
Another suitable tree is a ginkgo tree, also called "tree of life". The ginkgo is native to China and since ancient times has been planted in Japanese and Chinese gardens. It is now valued in many parts of the world. Because of its healing properties, the tree is associated with strength, hope and life.
A really personal gift idea! Give together with a card explaining what the gift symbolizes and that it is meant to accompany baby's life.
Name A Star
Name a star for baby, symbolizing love, eternity, light and closeness. Buy and name a star for baby's baptism. However, you should be aware that the star name you are purchasing is not scientifically recognized - nevertheless this is a nice personalized gift. You can order it online and you will get a star certificate with the precise coordinates to present at baby's special day. There are several online sellers, all offering several gift packs at various prices. Packages come for example with a framed or unframed certificate, as a kids package, as a deluxe package, with a charm, etc. The certificates also come in several languages such as English, French, Spanish, German, and others.

Baby Nightlight
Bring happiness and brightness into baby's life by giving a baby nightlight for baby's baptism. Add a card and explain what your gift should symbolize!
There are many cute nightlights with various features available. You can get some in the form of a sheep or lamb which I think is great for a baptism gift since the lamb is a common symbol in religion. The Berest 'Rechargeable Dreamy Sheep" with sounds and lights is really cute. If you prefer another animal, there's a large choice of designs.
The plug-in stained angel nightlight is in Tiffany style and also a great idea to give for a baby's baptism! It comes in a variety of colors so you can even choose a pink one of a girl and a blue one for a boy.
Noah's Ark Piggy Bank
The Precious Moments Noah's Ark piggy bank is very cute and suitable for baby's of every gender - and it even has a biblical theme! A unique and very thoughtful symbolic gift for a baptism to make sure baby always has a few extra pennies in his life.
This is also a great extra for a money gift. Add a quote such as "This piggy bank is for hopes, projects and schemes to help you save for all your dreams."
