Christening & Baptism Gifts That Feel Personal — Not Forgettable
Some gifts get a polite thank-you and disappear into a closet. A christening or baptism gift should feel different — quiet, lasting, and tied to a day the family will remember.
That’s the spirit behind Child to Cherish. Founder and designer Patrice Lowe built this collection so families could hold onto childhood in something beautiful and keepable — pieces meant to travel from home to home, and from infancy into the years that follow.

Here are our favorite christening and baptism gift ideas.
1. Noah’s Ark Large Piggy Bank
A gentle, story-rich keepsake for faith-forward celebrations. Handpainted detail, giftable, and useful as a child grows — soft faith without being heavy-handed.
2. Christening Block to Grow On
Our christening versions of the Block to Grow On keep the milestone tradition close to the ceremony — a keepsake bank that marks early measurements and moments with a faith-occasion feel.
3. Handprint Kit
Where the brand began: a keepsake you make at home and take with you. Pair it with a short note for the godparents or grandparents for the moments you’ll want to hold onto.
4. Blessed or faith-themed handpainted banks
Soft gratitude language and classic keepsake styling for families who want something warm on a nursery shelf after the service.
5. Cross ornaments & holiday faith pieces
For families who celebrate with the tree as well as the ceremony — a lasting reminder that travels year to year.

A note on presentation
Patrice has always believed wrapping is part of the gift. A simple box, a ribbon, and one sincere line about why you chose a keepsake will make the present feel as thoughtful as the day itself.
Family. Friends. Faith.
Memories you can take with you.
