dudes, i need some suggestions. I am not a church-y person, but i need to get a gift for my nephew for his baptism

Posted by Andie Oct 2 '14, 08:43

i am the godmother (which is sort of hilarious, but hey.)

i am NOT getting him a bible, or any of those types of things. We already gave them The Godchild onesie i linked below, just for fun.

we thought about buying him a library of books - kind of a one-a-year thing. Either till 12 or 18 years old. So you buy a book for a baby, then a one year old, and so on. and we would write a note in each with the age we think he'd like it and a note why we bought *that* particular book.

but i am completely open to other ideas.

hit me.

Godchild Onesie - his parents loved it. (www.google.ca)

I like your idea, I've seen that starting to pop up for baby showers, where everyone is asked to bring a children's book to start the kid's library - znufrii Oct 2, 09:04
A crucifix that turns into a dagger, so the little fella can pray *and* protect himself in the zombie apocalypse. -- (link) - Loyola Oct 2, 08:59
Get him his very first Little Black Book. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:54
does he have any enemies? Baptisms are a great alabi. -- nm - Michael Corleone Oct 2, 08:49
I like your idea - very original, and personal. -- nm - Covington Oct 2, 08:46
Churchy books are a good option. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 08:46 15
- "we are not churchy". if we get books it will be like, Lord of the Rings, and The Phantom Tollbooth, and The Call of the Wild. :) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:47 14
  - They aren't either? Why bother getting the child baptised then? -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 08:54 13
    - for the presents, duh. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 08:58 3
      - truthfully, i think 90% of it s the baptism gown her family has. It's well over 100 years old, and everyone gets baptized in it. plus, you embroider - Andie Oct 2, 09:00 2
        
        that's definitely a good reason. -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 09:01
        
        that is so very awesome -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:00
    - so many families do this. they go to church for 4 weeks, get the child baptised and you never see them again. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 08:56
    - family tradition. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:54 7
      - How... odd. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:55 4
        
        (her family, not ours. they are Finnish and go to church, maybe, on Christmas Eve. etc.) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:56 3
        
        heh, Christmas Eve is one of the few times I like to go. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:56 2
        
        see? :) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:57 1
        
        But I am as far from religious as you can get without being in a cult. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:58
      - (it's not my decision. obviously) - Andie Oct 2, 08:55 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 08:59
