Wonderful Choices For Baptism Gifts For Boys

Did you know that the popular expression “born with a silver spoon” has its origins in traditions related to baptism or christening? During such events, in some countries, babies born to wealthy families were given silver spoons engraved with the child’s name as their very special presents.

Nowadays, this tradition doesn’t have to be strictly followed anymore, even if a child comes from a wealthy family. But the practice of giving gifts to children who will be christened is still very much observed.

And if you are invited to your nephew or young cousin’s christening event, what can you give him? Certainly, there are no strict guidelines for acceptable baptism gifts for boys but if you are at loss on what to give him, you can consider these two options.

Option 1: A family heirloom
Since this is your nephew’s, young male cousin or even a grandchild’s baptism, why not give him something appropriate and treasured that has been handed down for generations in your family? This may be a crocheted bonnet, a finely quilted baby blanket, or an antique crib or rocking horse that has been restored to ensure the child’s utmost safety and enjoyment.

Option 2: Personalised night light
A popular christening and birthday gift idea, a night light is certainly a very functional yet lovely and even elegant present to always give to young kids. Since they are personalised and always crafted beautifully, they  add a touch of style to any kid’s room. And of course, they are great and safe to use every night.
