Please Help... Baptism Gift Ideas!

[missjaxon]

My nephew is being baptized in a couple of weeks and I am searching for ideas for a gift that would be special and unique. Any ideas? He is being baptized in the Catholic Church and is 6 months old. I really would like to give a thoughtful gift and something that would less likely to be received in multiples.

A friend of mine just had a bridal shower and the mother of the groom gave her the bonnet that the groom wore for his baptism with this poem framed...

THE MAGIC HANKY
I am just a little hankie, as square as can be;
but with a stitch or two, they''ve made a bonnet out of me.
I''ll be worn home from the hospital, and on special days,
and then I''ll be carefully pressed and neatly packed away.
Then on the Wedding, I have been told,
every well dressed Bride must have something old.
So what would be more fitting than to find Little Old Me,
a few stitches snipped and a Wedding Handkerchief
I Will Be!
And if per chance, it is a boy, someday he still will Wed.
So to his Bride he can present
the "Magic Handkerchief" once worn upon his head.

It was so cute...and it whats even cooler is that it was a baptism gift to the groom when he was a baby...and it''ll be passed to their children...

I found this website that helps you with making the handkerchief...
