Baptism Gift for a boy from Godparents

Dh and I were recently asked to be Godparents for his twin nephew (brother's son). I wanted to think of something nice to get him - something special that only godparents would get.

Any ideas? I was thinking jewelry of some sort, but my ideas just stop there.

Any advice/suggestions would be great!!!

TIA!!! Chat Icon

ETA: If you suggest something, would you try to suggest a store/website as well? Thanks!!!

I'm not perfect on the etiquette but I thought the Godparents bought the Baptism outfit?

We were asked to my godparents to my sister's 2nd son (our nephew). Bt-we didn't need to purchase the outfit since he used the same one his older brother used.

My sister didn't want him to have a cross, so we just gave a nice check.

I don't have a store/website to suggest but how about a gorgeous keepsake bible?

I have to get the same gift soon for my nephew... I got my niece a diamond cross. I will probably get him a masculine cross or other religious piece.

Re: Baptism Gift for a boy from Godparents

okay, so I'm thinking that we'll get him a cross, but dh doesn't like TRADITIONAL CROSSES. HE wants a cross with jesus' FACE on it. Not to be a total heathen, but is that really necessary? The poor thing is going to scare his twin brother away...

I bought my godson his outfit and a gold baby ID bracelet. His godfather bought him the cross. DS's godparents did the same thing for him
