I've been invited to a Baptism and I need suggestions for an appropriate gift for a baby girl. Avery's family is Catholic if that makes a difference.

Noah's ark book ends, picture frames - I have received some beautiful cherished teddy frames for baptism gifts..they don't have to be silver.
I have even received clothes etc. for a gift.

Little figurines are good gifts too.

I am catholic and have been to three Christenings his year alone with another on Nov. 6th! Our family is multiplying!!! Anyways, probably one of the best "standard" gifts is a savings bond.

Other typical gifts are clothes, but usually the newborn has a ton--especially if it is a firstborn and had a shower. An engraved frame is nice, but remember other people may think of frames too. My ds got several frames and I couldn't use them all. (But some may have been from the shower.) However the one engraved one is still in his room with a great picture of him in his christening gown.

But I would say the best thing is a savings bond. It's nice too cuz you pay half of what it says it is worth. So you spend $25 for a $50 bond.
