  A baptism is a very special day in the life of a child or adult, and a special gift is an excellent way to commemorate the occasion. Whether it is the day of the baptism or it is the anniversary of the baptism day, years later, a special present will let the person know that you are thinking of her and recognize what an important day the baptism marked in her life. A baptism anniversary gift can be just as unique as the person to whom you are presenting it. As long as the present is carefully considered and given with love, it is sure to be a success.
  
  

Jewelry

• A piece of heirloom jewelry, or a more modern version, can make a special gift for a christening, according to Parenting.com. This is the type of gift that is meant to last for an entire lifetime and will allow the recipient to recall fondly the baptism day or the subsequent anniversary for which it was given. A necklace or charm bracelet given on the baptism day could also get a new charm for each baptism anniversary.
  
  

Baptism Basket

• A baptism basket can contain a variety of items that will be useful to either a boy or a girl. Baptism basket contents are limited only by your imagination, but a cross necklace, bracelet, Bible, clothing items or music in the form of CDs or gift cards for music downloads are popular choices. The baptism baskets can change over the years as the person grows. Each baptism anniversary basket can spotlight current interests and give tokens that recognize growth, such as prayer books.
  
  

Bible

• A keepsake Bible may be a traditional gift for a first baptism, but this special gift does not have to be the only Bible that the baptized person receives over the years. In fact, keepsake Bibles are often handled with special care and are not used on a daily basis, so a good-quality Bible meant for regular use may be a much appreciated gift for a baptism anniversary. To commemorate the occasion further, you can have the date and name of the recipient engraved on the Bible and sign your best wishes inside.
