CHRISTIAN BABY DEDICATION
|
At one time, there were very few options open to those wanting to give a baby gift with a religious theme. Baby’s first Bible with his or her name on the front cover in gold was the most common. As wonderful and inspiring as this may be, there is a limit to how many Bibles a child needs. It’s truly wonderful to see that the selection of baby dedication gifts has grown as this is testimony that religion in the modern world is alive and well.
CHRISTIAN BABY DEDICATION GIFT IDEAS
Religious figurines, wall crosses and collectibles as well as elegant Bibles are all appropriate and will be treasured not only by this child, but for many generations. These are all classic, traditional gifts that have been given time and time again to babies born into families who are dedicated to the Christian faith. Here are some ideas for unique Christian baby dedication gifts for babies that modern parents will appreciate in addition to the old standards:
- Christian Baby Clothes – Diaper Shirts, Gowns and Christian Baby Onesies embroidered with religious symbols like the Cross or sayings
- Christian Baby Scrapbook Kits and Picture Albums with elegant leather covers monogrammed with baby’s name
- Christian Baby Jewelry – Silver Custom Bracelets with the fish symbol or favorite Bible verse
- Christian Baby Bottles – Blessings and religious motifs on the bottle
- Baby Feeding Utensils – Plate, knife and fork sets
- Personalized baby blankets and crib quilts
Practically every newborn care product and gear can be engraved, monogrammed and personalized to give it a Christian theme. Commercial items can be customized with monograms and engravings. Homemade Christian baby dedication gifts can be painted and embroidered by hand.
THE GIFT OF LOVE
The comfort and blessings that are the foundation of the Christian faith are free for anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior. For these reasons, some prefer that their baby’s dedication ceremony be gift free to keep the focus on the spiritual aspects of the occasion. There may be a request on the invitation that guests bring no gifts with them. The love and best wishes that they share are enough. In this case, the family's wishes should be respected. However, it’s not unusual for a gift to be given in the form of an inspirational poem that a creative family member wrote to commemorate the baby's dedication service. The poem may be read out loud during the ceremony, saved in baby’s memory box or framed and displayed on the wall as a personalized keepsake of the day reminding us that the gift of love is perhaps the most precious Christian baby dedication gift of all.
