* Whatever you can afford is fine. Here are some ideas: Small silver box for the baby's first tooth and another silver little box for their first curl. The parents were ecstatic over it. Cost $26 for the set (CDN Funds.) * Baby clothing if you know the sex of the baby. * Stuffed toy * Satin Pillow for decoration in the crib * Musical mobile set that hangs over the crib. * A basket with baby oil, powder, diapers, soothers, etc.
Answer from a CatholicI think money would be okay to give the parents as a Baptismal gift, especially if you are not that close to the family and don't know what they might like. If you are a relative and want to give money, I would think that would depend entirely on how close you are, and what your financial shape is. For grandparents, starting a savings account for the little one might be a worthwhile gift or something else the baby could use when it was older (a savings bond or stock certificate perhaps?) If in doubt, ask your priest for his advice.

Normally the God parents will give a small gift to the child, such as a St. Christophers medal. Apart from these small tokens by those immediately involved then that is sufficient.
