Storied & Blessed · Baptism gift for a boy

For your godson, grandson or nephew

A baptism gift for a boy, with his name in the story.

His name, his day, and the people who stood beside him. $39.99, shipping included.

What is a good baptism gift for a boy?

Pick something tied to the day itself, not only a baby gift. A cross or rosary he can keep, a silver cup, a first Bible, or a book with his own name in it all fit. If you are his godfather or godmother, ask the parents what the church gives so you do not double up.

Baptism gift ideas for a boy, side by side

Cross or rosary. A lasting sign of faith. Put away until he is older.
Silver cup or bank. A classic heirloom. Engraving adds cost and time.
First children’s Bible. Useful for years. Not about him or the day.
Keepsake box. Holds the gown, the card and the photos. Says little on its own.
Personalized book. Tells the story of his baptism with his name in it. Read it to him now; he reads it later.
A letter from you. Free and priceless. Tuck it inside whatever you give.

We make the personalized book on this list, so weigh our view with that in mind.

Questions

What is a good baptism gift for a baby boy?

Something tied to the sacrament that he can keep: a cross or rosary, a silver cup, a first Bible, or a personalized book about his baptism day. Pair any of them with a short letter from you.

What does a godparent give a godson at baptism?

Customs vary by church and family. Many godparents give a cross, a candle, the white garment or a first Bible. Others give a keepsake book with his name. Ask the parents what the church provides so you do not double up.

Does the boy edition have different pictures?

Yes. You choose boy pictures in one of four skin tones: light, golden, medium or dark. The story text is the same in every edition, with his name woven through it.

What gets printed in his book?

His name, his baptism date, the church and the people who stood beside him if you add them, and a Bible verse you choose. Check the spelling before you pay; we print what you type.

How much is it, and when should I order?

The hardcover is $39.99, shipping included. We print each book to order and ship within 3–5 business days; plan on about 1–2 weeks door to door to the US and Canada. Order once his name and baptism date are set. You can change the details or cancel for a full refund within 24 hours of payment.

Can I buy it on Etsy instead?

Yes. Our Etsy shop, StoriedAndBlessed, sells the same hardcover book for US delivery.
