What is a good baptism gift for a girl?
Pick something tied to the day itself, not only a baby gift. A cross or bracelet she can wear later, a candle from the rite, a first Bible, or a book with her own name in it all fit. If you are her godmother, ask the parents what the church gives so you do not double up.
Baptism gift ideas for a girl, side by side
- Cross necklace or bracelet. Lasts for years. Too small to wear yet, so it goes in a drawer at first.
- Baptism candle. Part of the rite in many churches. Check if the parish gives one.
- First children’s Bible. Useful for years. Not about her or the day.
- Keepsake box. Holds the gown, the card and the photos. Says little on its own.
- Personalized book. Tells the story of her baptism with her name in it. Read it to her now; she 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.
What we print in the book
- Her name, woven through the story and on the cover.

- A Bible verse you choose from our list.
