C.R. asks from Olathe, KS on August 15, 2011

My Daughter Is Getting Baptised!

We are at a loss of what we should get our 10 year old daughter for her baptism. Any ideas??? My mom bought her a Bible with her name and the date engraved on the cover, and my MIL bought a Bible carrying case for the Bible. I do not know what else we could get her! :(

What can I do next?

I like the idea of a cross necklace, too. Another thought is something with her birthstone and the stone of the month she's baptized.

what about a cross necklace? Maybe you could get the date engraved on the back. There is a christian bookstore over near 119th and I-35 behind Target, they probably have stuff like that.

A watch, a charm bracelet, a share certificate (while they're low!!), a pewter music box, a bank account.

UPDATED: My mom has a cute little church charm on her Pandora. She's a Christian and she loves it! You can get lovely little dangly crosses for Pandora too.

That's what I got when I was baptized at 8. I think maybe a pretty locket or special little earrings to wear would be cute.

I agree w/ Jane. A cross. And engraving it would be very special.
If she has a cross...a pretty ring?
Something special she can wear would be cool. A reminder. :)

Congrats!

ETA-does she think the charm bracelets are neat (Troll, Chamilla, Pandora)? That would be a great idea too. Maybe just a leather bracelet (cheaper) and Bible charm. I think my mom has a Bible...or maybe just a cross.

Cross necklace, crucifix for her room, other religious wall hanging, or if catholic, rosary beads.... Do you have a family christian store nearby? There are a bunch of nice things you could get!

Get her a crucifix for her room. Precious moments have beautiful religious themed nicknacks that she could display in her room. You can buy her a nice silver cross.
