Two years ago was the last time I stood godmother to a child being baptized. Don’t ask me when were the ones before that (and how many godchildren I already have) because I really do not remember now and have lost count already. ;-)

Giving baptism gift is really tricky. Sometimes it is so easy to just give money as baptism gift. Although a nicely picked gift would really be nice and personal. Sometimes giving money as gift can be too impersonal, right?

BUT. Whenever I push myself to really shop and pick a gift, most of the time I ended up wishing I could have bought something better and with the wide array of selections I often cannot decide what to pick.

However, personalized baptism gifts are the best ways to go. If you happen to love shopping online and if like me lacks creativity in choosing gifts or actually making the gift itself, shopping for personalized baptism gifts will come really handy.

Though in my experience, remember to buy the stuff you need way ahead (about 1 month before) so that what you ordered will arrive in time for the baptism day.
