A baptism gift is the first thing a child owns that speaks of God. These olive wood pieces are hand carved in Bethlehem by Christian families, and the wood comes from trees near the place where Jesus was born. A guardian angel for the nursery, a small cross above the crib, or a Holy Family carving will still be there when the child leaves for college.

Looking for christening gifts for boys or baptism gifts for girls?

Every piece here suits either. Godparents, grandparents and guests will find a present for a baptism at any budget below.

Questions people askWhat do godparents give for a baptism?

Traditionally the godparents give the lasting religious gift: a crucifix for the child's room, a Madonna and Child carving, or a rosary saved for First Communion. Most godparents here spend $50 to $150.

What is a good baptism gift from a guest?

A guardian angel ornament, a small olive wood cross, or a nativity ornament for the baby's first Christmas. Most guest gifts are $15 to $40.

Is olive wood safe in a nursery?

Yes. Olive wood is a hard, natural wood finished without lacquer. Wall pieces hang out of reach and free standing carvings sit on a shelf or dresser.

Can I get a gift for a baby girl or boy specifically?

Angels, crosses, and Holy Family carvings suit both. For a girl many choose a Madonna and Child, for a boy a St. Michael or a small crucifix.

Can you ship straight to the family?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout and add a gift note. We never include prices in the box.
