A Guide to Baptism Gifts from The Catholic Company

There are few things more awe-inspiring for Catholics than the sacramental occasions we celebrate. Baptism is an especially joyful event, as an occasion to welcome new life and a reminder of the great love of God the Father, Who claims us as His children. This special sacrament also cleanses us of the original sin we inherit from our first parents, Adam and Eve, and incorporates us into the Body of Christ, so we can bring His light into a wounded world.

I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.   - 2 Cor 6:18

To help you mark this joyful day, The Catholic Company has curated a wonderful assortment of Baptism gifts, from heirloom to everyday. Here are a few of our favorite finds by category:

And the very best gift for a Catholic baby...

...is of course, the gift of prayer. As little ones grow—and grow into our Catholic faith—pray that they will be strong and healthy, come to know and love God, and be well formed by their parents and godparents. Pray that they will sense His presence in their lives and remain pure and protected from all harm. The Lord has invited you into the life of this little one for a special reason. He has made you a part of His miracle. What a blessing! 

Our beautiful baby gifts bring faith into the celebration of new life. Those featured here are a small sampling.
