Holy Heroes Baptismal Gift Guide

Are you going to a Baptism soon? Wondering if there is a little something you can gift the newest member of the Church?

Or perhaps you are a godparent looking for that first gift for your little godchild? 

First off, an easy way to celebrate the newest Catholic is with Baptismal Cards! These beautiful cards can be personalized and handed out at the Baptism to remind friends and family to pray for the newly baptized baby! Check out the beautiful personalized card here.

There always seem to be a lot of Baptisms in our parish so, after attending MANY over the last few months, here are my top suggestions for Baptism gifts:

Baptismal Candle Kits

While I was able to get advanced versions of this candle kit, this Baptismal Candle Kit is now available for all Catholic families! This is such a fun craft for older siblings to do while Mom rests with the new baby (yes, it is really easy for older kids to do on their own!).

And the most fun? It is personalized with the new baby’s name. What a wonderful keepsake!

There is a catch with this gift: you need to give it BEFORE the Baptism so the family can make the candle and use it for the sacrament!

Godparents: if you are the godparent of a firstborn, it might be helpful for you to make the candle and bring it to the Baptism so the new parents don’t have to worry about crafting in those first few weeks!

Kids Sing for Jesus Music CD

All babies love music and most parents will tell you that there is a constant stream of Raffe and Daniel Tiger throughout the day. This music CD will give parents of new babies a break from endless versions of “Wheels on the Bus” and replace that music with meaningful songs about Jesus and their new Catholic faith! Kids Sing for Jesus has 12 songs about prayers, catechism, virtues, saints, the Trinity, and more. Here is the complete list of songs included in the CD:

1. Good Morning Jesus
2. Peace in my Heart
3. My Guardian Angel
4. Angel of God
5. Holy, Holy Water
6. My Special Friend
7. Hail Mary
8. Jump Up, Get Down
9. Catechism Rap
10. Trinity Song
11. Thank you, Jesus
12. Lullaby, Jesus be my Guide

This is such a unique gift that Catholic families will actually use in their daily lives!

A Little Catholic’s Book of Liturgical Colors board book

Written in delightful rhyming verse by Theresa Kiser and illustrated by Chris Pelicano (the long-time illustrator of Holy Heroes’ products!), this board book will walk children through the different liturgical colors of the Catholic Church and where they will find them in the Mass.

The rhythm of the poetry is tuned to a child’s ear, so you may soon find your little ones “reading” the book themselves! Both beautiful and educational, this board book is a way to teach children about their Catholic faith in a fun and engaging way. With beautiful colors, children will repeatedly reach for this board book from their collection.

When Heaven comes to Earth board book

Another book to develop a little one into an avid lover of books!

Introduce your child at an early age to the wonder of four most-famous visits from Heaven – and what happened afterward!

Each visit is presented with four bright pages showing first the private visit and message from Heaven, then the public display for the world to see. See a few of those visits here–>

Expressed in delightful rhyme and the colorful, joyful illustrations you expect from Holy Heroes! Teach children the beauty of their Catholic culture through this simple and beautiful board book.

A Godparent Who Prays

If you are a godparent, this is an important book to help you develop a habit of prayer for your new godchild! You can spend the first year of their life praying through this journal and then present it to them on their 1st Birthday—how sweet!

This book walks you through various intentions you can pray for on your godchild’s behalf, including:

• Temperance
• Closeness with Angels
• Meekness
• Confidence
• Piety
• Relationships with Friends
• and so many more!

This book will help you develop a habit of prayer for your godchild today, tomorrow, and the rest of their lives.

I hope this list of Baptism gifts helps inspire you for an upcoming celebration! Please share this blog with other families who may have an upcoming Baptism to attend!
