Appropriate baptism gift??
My four month old niece is getting baptized this weekend. My husband and I are unable to make the trip (his sister lives across the country) but we would like to send a gift. As he and I do not follow his sister's religious path, we felt it would be inappropriate to send a religious gift. People have suggested things like commemorative engraved silver cups (they seem kind of silly) or a gold cross necklace (jewelry on a baby is so weird!). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Money is an appropriate gift. Your in-laws can deposit the money in a savings account for your niece.

If that isn't your choice, you may want to send a music box. I am Godmother to several of my nieces. For their baptisms, I gave them a music box- it doesn't have to play religious music, maybe lullabies would be nice.

Clothing may also be o.k.

I have also seen very nice quilts and blankets given as baptism gifts. I think Things Remembered may be able to embroider your niece's name and baptism date onto the blanket. It may be kind of pricey, but it's practical and unique.
