A good baptism present marks one of the most important days in a person's faith journey and gives them something to remember it by. The best baptism gifts carry a verse about new life, identity in Christ, or walking with God, and they are useful enough to be part of everyday life afterward.
The right gift depends a lot on who is being baptized. Here are ideas for babies, kids, teens, and adults, plus what to write in the card.
