Ideas for gifts for Godparents?

Do they own their own home ?  IF SO, here are some ideas :\n\n1) Head down to your local nursery or home improvement store and pick out a tree to be planted.  It is something they will remember and charish due to it being planted in the name of their godchild.\n\n2) Open an IRA in their name for them.  Make a one time contribution and encourage them to add to it throughout their lives. ((It doesn't have to be a large amount, call around it may be as little as $50 to get started))  Tell them you will do the same for their godchild.  It is NEVER to early to start this for you child!!\n\n3) Are the god parents husband and wife?  You could get a brass plaque with their names engraved on it for the door of their home.\n\nIf the godparents do not own their own homes:\n\n1) A greenplant that will hopefully live for years.\n\n2) A clock with something special engraved on the back.\n\n3) T-shirt saying " I'm the proud new godparent and all I got was this louzy t-shirt"

I think that the mp3 would be thoughtful since he likes to use yours and you could also give him a CD mix with some songs that remind you of him and him of you to put on there... but next to that you could also make him something. \n\nOne gift I made him was a nice photo album with photos that we took together or of things that were on trips we took together. This christmas I am also doing something like that with photo-transfers but if you are not artistically inclined a scrap book is really a easy and very personal gift to make. Simply head to your local craft store for ideas... and remember to leave blank pages for the memories you still have to create!

The most beautiful gift you can give your children is yourself.  I know presents are important to them.  For financial help I would seek a church, the Salvation Army.  I know some stores in my area put up Christmas trees with wishes on them for children.  A customer takes the wish and buys the gift.  Sometimes schools send home lists of needy families.  Check these things out before it's too late.

For the baptism -- just being there is what they need from you ... you can buy a gift for the child.  One that they can look back on and cherish from their God Parents.  ie, a picture of you at the baptism in a nice frame or a stuffed teddy bear.  \n\nTo be good God Parents, all you need is love...showing it to this child everytime you see him/her will let them know they have someone besides their parents that they can count on in life.

I have seen these cute ginger jars with cork lids that have "Bingo Money" written on the sides - I think in Hallmark stores.  That would be cute to get that and put a $20.00 bill in it.   \n\nMake her a Grandma Basket - Get a pretty basket and put in children's books, bubbles, games, playdoh, snacks - stuff that she could pull out and play with her granddaughters.\n\nOr - if she loves bubble baths - make up a bath basket and put in all those goodies - bath pillow, scrubbers, soaps, gels, bath beads, bubble bath, a scented candle and maybe some chocolates, along with a pretty fluffy towel & face cloth!

sounds like there's steps involved...being that they are 'members'...how about A hand written gift cert. for ONE free ...you name it...go pick A flower from the neighbor's yard...better yet, get a rock and tell them it's a paperweight.  Scribble their initials on it..I heard that no matter what the gift is given for mday that it's a mandatory that the 'mother' must love it no matter what.

Get tickets for something to do together or for her and your father.  A play, a concert, a bike tour, a gym membership, an art exhibit, manicures and pedicures, an imax movie, etc.  She might have a lot of things or be very picky about her things, but she loves you and she would most likely be very touched that you got something for the both of you to do together.  If that's not your thing, think about a hobby she truly enjoys and perhaps get something to go with it.  For example, my mom knits, so one year I bought her some really beautiful wool online from a farm in Vermont and a pattern for a pretty sweater that I thought she would like.

If your Mom has a hobby, get something related to that.  \nSubscriptions to a magazine she likes to read is a gift that gives all year.\nMy daughter got me a gift certificate to my favorite lunch place, good for a weeks worth of lunches. \nIf your Mom is like me, she doesn't need trinkets, but something useful is always appreciated.  You know, you could also write her a letter and tell her how much you appreciate and love her.\nPictures are always a good thing too.  A nice scrapbook of her life, something you put together for her.

By a plaster/mold kit that makes a plate or something like that and the Child/Baby puts it's little hand in the plaster before it sets, (help baby if neede) and you have a lovely personlized gift dad will treaure forever.  Also you can write dad in the plaster, date, Happy fathers day or whatever you would like.  You can buy these kits at toy and crafts stores.

I feel that a gift basket would be nice, I make them for all kinds of different occasions.  You can pick up a basket for next to nothing at thrift stores or garage sales, you may even have one on hand. You can fill it with nice scented massage oils, pretty panties with his favorite scent on them ,maybe a love book with some new ideas for him to fantasize about. The ideas are limitless!!!

My church hands out single red roses to the women. you could give every mom a simple pretty flower or dishtowels or something like that. chocolate, the like. Flowers are a good cheap gift. you could even buy small potted flowers, just shop a bit, see what looks good.

Well, if it's a baby that is being baptized, maybe a photo frame with a photo of the event?  If it's an older child or adult, a greeting card with a gift certificate or gift card from a local Christian bookstore would be good.  If you know the person well, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a gift (with a religious theme) that fits with the person's individual tastes in a local Christian bookstore.  Also, don't be shy when it comes to asking a sales clerk at the store.

Bring wine for the father and get something else for the mom like a box of chocolates or something.  Nothing too personal but a token gift. If you bring flowers for the mom, she'll be charmed.
