LDS Baptism Gifts For Boys

Parents baptize their kids at different ages and when as a family member or a close friend of the kids' parents, it is a tradition to give them appropriate gifts. When searching for LDS baptism gifts, remember this, no matter how old the individual is, the spiritual and special occasion deserve the right gift. Many people attend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) and this is the reason why you might be searching for a particular gift for the kid. You can either purchase the gifts for the boy or choose to present a homemade gift as well; the choice is entirely up to you. But remember, any gift that you give needs to have a specific meaning, a message to it. Keeping that in mind, we have put together few suggestions and ideas on LDS-themed baptism gifts for boys. Take a look.

LDS Christening Gift Ideas

When you give someone a spiritual, sacred gift, the value of that gift increases tenfold. Rather than being one of the purchased items, it becomes something of great value; a priceless present. With the LDS gift ideas given below, we are trying to send the same message.

Set of Scriptures
One of the best LDS baptism gifts (or a newly baptized church member) is a new set of scriptures. At the time of baptism, presenting this gift to someone is not just sensible, but personal as well. Your gift is more than just a present; it has a meaning behind it. This gift somehow brings the person closer to the Lord and becomes a part of their lives. When a young boy is being baptized, you can be the first one to impart the knowledge and make him realize of its importance. Apart from a set of scriptures, you can even give the boy other books related to the church. There are many books like Of Pigs, Pearls, and Prodigals: A Fresh Look At the Parables of Jesus by John Bytheway, The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Our Hearts and Home by James L. Ferrell, or The Time-Starved Family by DeAnne Flynn.

Cute and Cuddly Mission Bear
If the boy who is going to get his gift is small, then a mission bear is just the gift for him. He can take this bear wherever he goes; to the church, to primary classes, or wherever. These bears are made especially for missionaries and it can make a perfect gift for the little boy. There are many online and special LDS stores that sell these mission bears.

Framed Pictures
Many times, when we are in great need of a spiritual guidance, one look at His face and everything falls into place. So for our next gift idea, we suggest a framed picture of prophets, a picture from any of the scriptures, or even temples. The boy who will receive this gift can keep the picture in his room or anywhere around the house. Every time he sees this picture, his faith and belief will be reinstated; and he won't forget who gave this gift to him.

Special Prayer Rock
Here's another great LDS baptism gifts for kids; a prayer rock. This gift is given to remind kids to pray in the mornings and evenings, before going to bed. The prayer rock is a good method to habituate the kids to say their prayers everyday. This rock is kept on the pillow so that whenever the child goes off to bed, he/she knows that a prayer has to be said beforehand. You can either purchase a prayer rock from an LDS-themed store or give one on your own. Just make sure that the rock is smooth around the edges, a little round in shape, and clean. You can personalize the gift by engraving, "Dear (name of the kid)... It's time to pray".

LDS-themed Jewelry
You can buy them an LDS pendant or ring. You can get the jewelry that is inscribed with a particular verse or phrase that is close to your heart and you wish to send the message across to the kid(s). If the child, whoever is receiving the gift, is going to primary classes, the pendant or ring will be very useful at that time. Or let's say he has already finished primary classes, then the pendant or ring will remind him of the time he spent in the classes.

Apart from the above mentioned LDS gifts, there are many more unique and personalized gifts you can give. For that, you can browse through the Internet to find special LDS stores for information.
