When it comes to gift giving occasions, coming up with Baptism gifts is a tricky one. This event is targeted. How do you find a unique item for this special occasion while still keeping with our theme of trying to give one of a kind gifts?  There are a few options that you could consider innovative if you're shopping for the perfect Baptism gifts this year.

One of the best Baptism gifts is simply the baby's first Bible. I really like the idea of giving this special gift to a little one. Try personalizing the Bible with a note inside to the children that receive them. The notes, by their very nature, will make the Baptism gifts individual and unique.

The problem is, I quickly found out I was not the only one who gave these Baptism gifts. One child in our family wound up with several baby Bibles, and even though each one had a unique sentiment inside, the gift doesn't quite have the same meaning when it's accompanied by a few others.

So my quest began for unique Baptism gifts to keep this from happening again. My next idea was giving frames for the baby's christening photos. These Baptism gifts seemed like a great idea until I went to a christening party that must have set some kind of record. Five baby Bibles and seven frames. So I kept looking.

An online search for unique Baptism gifts yielded an innovative present. How about a hand-painted plate that is personalized for each child. Each one is hand crafted and individual, making the idea even more appealing in my eyes.

All you need to do is give the baby's name, the date, and a special verse that you write. The verse is an additional individual touch to make your Baptism gifts one of a kind. True this present takes quite a bit of thought, but it is defiantly worth it.

And while I love the idea of a hand-painted baby plate, I will continue to search for unique Baptism gifts for my friends and family. It's an exciting challenge for me. For now though, I will continue to give the plates as unique presents. That is, until I attend the next event in which another plate shows up. Then it will be time to move on and find other unique Baptism gifts.
