I have not been to a christening for a while (Catholic). I would like to give a gift. What is appropriate? I was thinking a frame with a cross for each. Is giving money customary, and how much? |
Picture frame and a prayer book sound perfect. I would do the prayer book instead of the cross. Money is not customary. |
Money is fine. They’ll get a bunch of prayer books, crosses, bibles, etc. |
Here are some ideas
Picture frame A book, maybe one like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bless-Lord-Illustrated-Eileen-Ryan/dp/1685789862 A stuffed animal like a lamb that references religion. A name puzzle like this https://www.fatbraintoys.com/toy_companies/fat_brain_toys/personalized_name_puzzle.cfm?country=US&source=google_pla&kwid=WWW001-3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21481084469&gbraid=0AAAAAD_wdzovJ4IX4wOmVSc1bHU_DY-tD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuq-ZxoLxjQMVf1tHAR1pvwhSEAQYAiABEgJohPD_BwE Money is fine, either something like a $20 bill in a card, or a check that can be added to a 529 account. |
Anything you would give a baby is fine. Books. A card with a small amount of money. |
Cash |
Pretend you’re a jew and give like 1k. |
