    Default Baptism gift from Grandparents

    What did your child receive from his/her Grandparents as Baptism/Christening gift?

    I think my in laws gave DD a check (that is their choice gift) and they came to visit, which was nice because they don't come and visit much. My parents I honestly can't remember. My mom doesn't like to give checks if she can avoid it, and I do remember DD getting a silver feeding spoon around the same time, but I don't remember if that was it or not. I never expected anything in the way of gifts. DD was 5 mos. old when we baptized her.

    Nothing.

    my baby got nothing, from parents, grandparents, or friends, for his dedication. Its just not a gift-giving occasion for us.

    MIL gave us a check.

    My mom gave us an engraved sterling cup with their name and date of birth and possibly some money, I can't remember.

    My dad...I don't think he gave anything. He did come to DS1's but not to DS2's. He is a long story, but he's not religious so I didn't really expect anything to be honest.

    Not what you asked, but I usually give a check and a children's religious book.

    Default Hard to remember

    I think we have received crosses for their walls and bibles. We always receive religious gifts for religious occassions. We don't do checks yet.

    Nothing. But the grandparents hardly even give birthday presents either. Don't get me started.

    My grandparents gave all their grandchildren their own wall crucifix at baptism and my parents are continuing the tradition. They also give a savings bond.

    Nothing from the in-laws. My parents framed (from target) a picture from that day with the church announcement.

    my parents did a check (not a huge amount), a wooden rosary "church toy", and a nice bracelet with a religious medalion, and a book (also some really sweet booties for her to wear with her gown/bonnet)

    ILs did a little cross pin, a handknit by MIL blanket, and ....gosh, i can't really remember.. some knicknacky stuff? sometimes it starts bleeding together. i can't remember if they gave a check or not.

    my SIL, lu' s godmother, gave lucy a beautiful gold cross pendant on a gold chain-- very delicate and sweet.

    jewelry seemed to be the dominant gift. i didn't expect lu's christening to be a gift giving occasion. i would really have loved for all her grandparents to COME to the christening, but it just didn't work out that way.
