57 Perfect Catholic Baptism Gifts
Noahs Ark Playset
The Noah’s Ark from Aurora World is a soft plush carrier that carries detachable stuffed animals with sound, such as a Zebra (squeaker), Giraffe (rattle sound), Elephant (trumpet), & Lion (roar sound).
Personalized Rosary
As a Catholic baptism present, you might give the infant his first rosary. Why not customize it to make it even more special? Amazon has a large range of beautiful rosaries that may be customized with the baby’s name in beads or etched on a disc.
catholic baptism gifts Angel Earrings
Exceptional craftsmanship and a lovely design. Both triangular and round cut CZs are used in these 14K earrings to create two unique tiny angels. Angel earrings featuring two Diamonlux CZs, beautifully designed and manufactured. These are some sweet baptism gift suggestions for a little girl.
Lamb Rocker
Our plush rocker is as soft as a lamb’s coat, with a huggable body and delicately embroidered face features. For a smooth, secure, and gentle rocking action, it has solid wood handles & precision-shaped runners. The runners are made of solid wood and are made of super-soft polyester.
Catholic Prayer Cube
Each of the six sides of this wooden cube does have a Catholic prayer written on it. The Hail Mary, the conservative Catholic meal blessing, as well as the Glory Be, will all be available to the infant as he develops. The cube may be used by parents to pray with their children and teach them traditional Catholic prayers.
Prayer Buddy
The Wee Believers are a group of young people who believe in God. Luke the Lamb, for example, is a plush animal that says three Catholic prayer services: Our Father, Hail Mary, & Glory Be. The sound may be turned on and off, or the soundbox can be removed altogether. A mother informed me that her kid began to like this device when he began to learn the phrases to the prayers on his own.
Interactive Rosary Mat
As the child grows older, he may begin to participate in family Rosaries. This interactive rosary mat allows the youngster to place a bright colors felt bead on a Velcro strip while the family prays each prayer, keeping her interested. Choose from a number of different backings.
catholic baptism gifts for young children – Mass Bag
Keeping babies and toddlers quiet during Mass is frequently a challenge. You may give the infant a Mass bag, which even the family can fill with fun activities each week to keep them occupied during Mass. (Many of the items on this list might be used in the Mass bag!) The “I Spy Around My Church” cards, saint cards, as well as a saint coloring book, are included in this Mass bag. They may also use the accompanying fabric markers to paint the bag.
Shining Light Dolls
Shining Light dolls are miniature saint figures that may be collected. Each one comes with an instructional card that tells the tale of the saint and provides more information. You might offer the accompanying Shining Light dolls as a Catholic baptism gift or start the baby’s collection if your baby was named after a saint or if there is a saint who is dear to you or the baby’s family.
Board Book Bible
The Our Father or Hail Mary are included in the Catholic Baby’s First Bible, as well as 10 biblical stories delivered in easy rhymes. The robust board book has colorful pictures and a handle, making it ideal for carrying to Mass. It also contains little action prompts that correspond to the story, ensuring that the book will keep the baby engaged as he develops.
Cute catholic baptism gifts Teething Rosary
A teething rosary is an excellent way to introduce young toddlers to the Rosary. It can be chewed on, so it’s ideal for young babies, but it also makes a terrific sturdy, silent rosary and Mass toy for kids once they’ve beyond the chewing stage. As a Catholic baptism gift, the Chew Life rosaries are highly recommended.
A Missal for Toddlers
Although a baby will have to grow into this board book missal, it is an excellent companion for children to gaze at during Mass. It is the narrative of a family attending Mass. Words from Mass are included, as well as little prayers for the youngster and vibrant graphics to keep their interest.
Personalized blanket
Several sellers provide lovely customized blankets that’d be ideal for a baby baptism present. The baby’s whole name & baptism date, as well as across, can be embroidered on these gorgeous blankets. Or the other version of the blanket, on the other hand, includes the baby’s monogram.
Mother Mary Plush
In the Catholic faith, the Virgin Mary has a particularly important place. With Hallmark’s soft plush doll, introduce Mother Mary to the baptized infant at a young age (sold on Amazon). Mary can begin to be invited into the baby’s existence. Maybe she will learn to talk to Mary at an early age, as a forerunner to praying for Mary’s intercession.
ABC Saints Poster lovely catholic baptism gifts
With this amazing ABC Saints poster, you can help the infant learn his saints! It is available in a variety of sizes to fit your preferences or requirements. Each letter is accompanied by a picture of a saint whose name matches the letter. It can be displayed in the baby’s room or playroom and being used as a conversation starter about the lives of the saints by the parents.
Keepsake box
A customized memento box would be a unique baby baptism present. The baby’s name & baptism date are customized on this basic box. Inside the wooden box, the kid can store precious images and souvenirs from the baptism day and beyond. You might send a modest gift or note every year to put in the box if you are the baby’s godparent or very close to the youngster.
Personalized cross
A baby baptism present that is both distinctive and important is a customized cross to display in the nursery. My third child’s godmother gave her a lovely painted wooden cross with her first initial in the center. This beautiful wooden cross is suitable for both boys and girls, and it is sophisticated enough just to grow with the child. Choose a Bible scripture to include, then customize it with the baby’s name and baptism date.
Personalized candle
For my oldest daughter’s baptism, her godmother gave her a lovely customized candle. “My granny has made it her custom to purchase one of them for each of my children,” her godmother explains. We leave them out all year and light them on the baptismal anniversary on Easter Sunday. It’s a lovely family tradition, and I adore them so much that it’s become my go-to Baptism present for others!”
Baptism Photo Frame
Baptism picture frames are one of our most treasured possessions! Each of our children has one, which has a photograph of them on their baptism day. The frame will be placed in their room, on either dresser or on a bookshelf, where they will be able to view it. I’m not sure how many discussions these photos have started!
Crucifix are common catholic baptism gifts
Crucifixes are always in style. A crucifix should be hung over every entryway in your home, at the very least above the bedrooms, according to Catholic custom. If the family already has one over the kid’s entryway, they can preserve the one you give them for when the youngster is older and has their own home. It’s best if you can give a youngster as many crucifixes as possible.
Prayer cards
If there is one thing that Catholics adore, it is prayer cards. There are a plethora of prayer cards to choose from as a present for a child’s baptism.
You can offer them a sacramental confession prayer card, such as the one below, or prayer cards honoring the saint after whom they were named, or prayer cards honoring guardian angels, or holy family prayer cards, and Mary+baby prayer cards, even Joseph+baby prayer cards… The options are limitless!
Personalised holy water bottle
The baby’s name & baptism date can be added to a holy water bottle. You or the baby’s parents can refill the bottle with water from the baby’s baptism’s holy water font. You might also give the baby’s household a holy water font as a matching gift.
Catholic Record Book
First visitors, genealogy, physicians, illnesses, favorite objects, sacrament details, and noteworthy “firsts” all the way through elementary school are all documented in the Catholic Record Book. There’s even a section devoted to the specifics of the first Mass for the infant! Every child has one of these record books, and let me tell you, as a nostalgic parent who can’t remember what she ate for breakfast, I adore them.
Baptism Card
While this isn’t technically a “present,” you can purchase these gorgeous baptism cards with a cross, a great Catholic baptism gift. It was so different from your typical “Christening” card, I thought.
Swaddle Blanket Made of Muslin
Large muslin blankets are light, airy, and ideal for swaddling. Because it is printed with a Bible passage (Psalm 139 about being “wonderfully formed”), a godparent pledge, or a blessing, this blanket is particularly suited for a baby baptism gift. Wrap the infant in Scripture or prayer, literally!

Did you know that you may seek a Blessing first from Pope by filling out an online form and sending it to the Vatican? I was interested when a friend told me her kid had received one for his baptism. You can seek a Papal Blessing for the baby’s baptism and deliver a document to the family on a momentous day if you organize ahead of time. What a wonderful Catholic baptism present – a Blessing from the Pope.
Noah Ark Candles
Some Bible tales are taught to youngsters over and over again. Noah’s story is one that every little girl will remember. Consider a present like personalized Noah’s Ark candles for baptism ideas. This is a one-of-a-kind method to commemorate the momentous day while also celebrating religion.
Cross Keepsake Box
A dedication gift can be passed down through the generations as a kid develops from a little girl to a woman. A crucifix keepsake box with a customized message is the kind of gift that a godchild would appreciate. Simply choose a message that expresses your feelings!
Cross Photo Album
A baby’s baptism is a major occasion for a godfather, and it necessitates a large gift. Consider a photo album with a gorgeous cross on top if you would like to hit all of the right emotional notes with your gift. Choose some images to include and present a meaningful, easy-to-appreciate gift.
Flower Cross for Baptism
Flowers are a great present for a variety of reasons. Choosing a bespoke flower arrangement is an easy way to express how important this day is to you. One of the more memorable baptism presents for girls is a baptism cross composed of pink flowers.
Baptism Gift Set
Consider a gift set if you’re stumped on what to get someone for baptism. As a gift from a parent, grandparent, or godparent, this popular alternative is ideal. Rather than winging it with a gift, choose a package that contains a great assortment.
