What do you give for a baptism once the child is no longer an infant? You can give meaningful gifts for baptisms not only for babies, but also for toddlers and older children – whether it's a baptism cup, baptism spoon, or engraved children's cutlery. We'll show you what's appropriate for each age and how you can create a truly memorable gift with a thoughtful gift set.
Baptism is not a moment of unity – and the gift should not be either
Not all children are baptized in their first year. Many families consciously choose to have their baptisms later: at 1, 2, or even 5 years old. This raises questions: What should you give for a toddler's baptism? Is a baby gift inappropriate? Or even kitschy?
Our answer: It's the how that matters. It's not the age that counts, but the meaning. And that's exactly where personalized gifts made of real silver come into play: with an engraving, with soul, with lasting value.
Baptism gifts for every age – with meaning & heart
For babies (0–1 year):
-
Christening spoon with birth engraving
A classic with meaning: name, date, and time – engraved on high-quality silver. A symbol of the beginning of life. -
Baby rattle with protective symbol + SilverVerse card
A rattle is tangible, sensual, and a strong companion for babies, with niello ornaments and guardian angel symbols. A SilverVerse card serves as an emotional greeting. -
Baptismal bowl & baptismal coin
The baptismal font in precious silver represents the ritual moment. An engraved baptismal coin is a symbolic keepsake that can be preserved and passed on. -
Gift sets with Niello + gold accents
Hand-decorated, unique: combinations of rattle, spoon and coin in luxurious silver design – with optional engraving and finishing.
For toddlers (1–3 years):
-
Children's cutlery with name engraving
Lovingly designed spoons, forks and knives in a child-friendly shape – with space for names or initials. -
Baptism cup with symbol engraving
A personal baptism cup, engraved with a protective symbol, zodiac sign or simply the name, often lasts a lifetime. -
Picture frame with engraving & silver verse
A high-quality silver frame becomes a family chronicle: plain on the front, with an engraving or an engraved SilverVerse on the back. Optional: A SilverVerse card with a wax seal is included in the envelope – for goosebumps when you open it.
For older children (3–6 years):
-
Baptismal candlestick with dedication
A stylish silver candlestick, engraved with a blessing or the date of baptism, can later be used as a memorial light. -
Silver box or money box for keepsake treasures
This tin can hold first teeth, first curls, first drawings—or even cash gifts for baptisms. An engraved lid makes it unique. -
Individual gift sets
For example, a set of children's cutlery, a christening cup, a folding icon, or a silver pendant with an engraved verse card. All coordinated and packaged in high-quality packaging. -
Napkin ring & breakfast set
A particularly popular set: a set of engraved children's cutlery, egg cup, and napkin ring – ideal for the first festive setting at the table. This makes the gift an invitation to the family.
What makes a baptism gift special today?
-
The engraving is the soul of the gift: names, dates, quotes, verses – they turn silver into a keepsake.
-
SilverVerse instead of a standard card: Our SilverVerse cards are poetry on fine paper, optionally with a wax seal and emotional shine.
-
Combine instead of swapping: A well-thought-out gift set shows appreciation – for the child, for the family, for the moment.
-
More than just “silver”: What matters is the story the gift tells.
Mini FAQ
At what age is a child “too old” for typical christening gifts?

Can baptism gifts also be personalized for 3- or 4-year-old children?
Yes! Especially popular: children's cutlery, christening cups, picture frames, and breakfast sets.
Which is better: a single gift or a gift set?
A set stays in the memory longer – and can be lovingly combined.
