The Easter season is a common time for baptism in many denominations. This is especially prevalent among Episcopalians and Catholics, but since Easter is the most important holiday in Christianity the custom enjoys popularity among many other Christian traditions. That’s why if you’re thinking of scheduling your baby’s christening for Easter you should start planning now. Many churches are quite busy around the season with both baptisms and the other traditions of the season.

If a family you know is planning an Easter christening, this is the ideal time to decide on baby baptism gifts. This gives you a chance to coordinate your christening presents with other friends and family, either by making sure you buy different gifts or by working together to get a larger purchase.

We offer a complete line of christening presents that will not only please new parents on the day, but serve as baby keepsake gifts to help them remember the occasion, and eventually, pass the memory on to their grown children.

You can divide baptism gifts into a few basic categories. Photographic keepsakes like baptism frames preserve a picture of the baby at the time of baptism. Some of this baptism gifts include devotional verses to accompany the picture. You can compliment this gift with a professional photo session for the child in his or her baby christening gown, or by hiring a photographer for the baptism itself (assuming this is permissible).

Keepsake boxes like the rosary/cross keepsake set display other symbols from the occasion, including crosses and a lock of the baby’s hair. Baptism certificate holders use the certificate itself as the memento by allowing you to display it in a decorative fashion.

A christening cross can accent baby christening gowns on the day of the baptism, but can also be displayed in their own case, without the special storage considerations of the gown itself.

We also sell baby baptism gowns at Baby Bananza. In some families, it might be appropriate for friends and relatives to actually purchase the gown for the parents. Check with close relatives and the parents themselves to see if this would be a good idea.

Whatever you choose to get a soon to be baptized baby and his or her parents, planning is the key. Know the family’s denominations, find out what others are getting and work together so that on Easter or any other day, your gift choice will be flawless and cherished for years to come.
