Whether it’s a little one’s christening or dedication service, or a Christian reaching a milestone in their faith, baptism is a time of celebration! It’s lovely to mark this special occasion with a baptism gift, especially if you’re a godparent, grandparent or close friend.

We’ve chosen some of our favourite gifts from Christian UK based makers, along with some Jordan Lily Designs pieces – read on for beautiful baptism presents for everyone from babies to teens to adults.

Heirloom baptism bracelet £35

This silver beaded bracelet is stamped with a dove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit and a reminder of Jesus’ own baptism. Luke’s gospel describes how ‘The Holy Spirit came down like a dove’ (Luke 3:22) and the bracelet comes with a complementary card illustrating this Scripture verse.

Silver is a traditional gift for christenings, with the custom of giving a present as an investment for the baby’s future (often silver cups, spoons or coins). As this bracelet is also available in a smaller size for children, it would be a lovely way to celebrate a little girl’s christening or first communion.

 

Little lighthouse for your home £10

We think this handmade glass ornament by Orchard Art Glass makes a gorgeous gift at any age… it would be a sweet addition to a little one’s nursery (especially if there’s a nautical theme!) or a meaningful symbol for an adult’s baptism. Lighthouses are a popular visual representation of God’s light and guidance in troubled times, bringing to mind Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path".

 

Bible journalling kit £18

This Bible journalling kit by Full Of Grace Studio is perfect for people who want to explore the Bible in a creative way! Themed around Jesus the Prince of Peace, this kit is a great gift for new Christians and teens, with lots of useful items to organise their Bible reading, highlight important verses, and reflect on personal meanings.

 

Sticker gift for a Christian friend £2

These Everlasting Love stickers are a thoughtful little extra to slip into a baptism card for a Christian friend or fellow church member. They feature the verse "I have loved you with an everlasting love" from Jeremiah 31:3. Stick one on a notebook, water bottle or laptop for a daily reminder that God’s love is with us all the time – not just for baptisms!

 

Christian ring for adult baptism £35 - £42

With a simple cross stamped into a silver band, this ring is an expression of faith that you can wear day to day, a little remembrance of the testimony of your baptism. Rings are often used as a symbol of making vows (like wedding bands) and their shape represents eternity with no beginning or end.

This ring is available as a slim 3mm band (£35) or chunky 6mm band (£42) in a range of sizes, so you can find the just-the-right fit for a man or woman.

 

Baptism gift for adults and teens £36.50

This super cosy unisex sweatshirt comes in 15 colours and a wide range of sizes, so you can choose the perfect gift for teens or adults. With its subtle ‘Faith can move mountains’ text on the cuff and a small illustration on the front, this is ideal for someone with minimalist taste who loves practical gifts to use and wear.

 

Small Bible gift for a Christian friend £8

Sticking with the floral theme, these gorgeous handmade fabric bookmarks by Ellen Hopkin Creates would make a sweet gift for a Christian friend or someone in your local church community. As baptism symbolises death, resurrection and new life with Jesus, the ‘living hope’ theme of these crosses is such a great fit.

 

Modern christening gift for baby boy or baby girl £23

While each one of us is a child of God, this cute baby onesie by Laurent Collective is specifically sized for tiny people! It’s a lovely modern gift to celebrate a baby’s dedication or christening which their parents can use straightaway and then add to a keepsake box later on.

 

Personalised Christian notebook £15.95

This pretty floral notebook by Creative Stationery London can be personalised with the name or initials of the person getting baptised – a beautiful gift for teens or women of any age. With Bible verses on the front cover and the lined pages inside, it’s brilliant for journalling, Bible study, or sermon notes.
