What to give Priest that is doing the baptizing?

I asked the parish if there is a fee and she told me no but some people give a little something to the priest.  Any ideas? Thanks ladies!

    Maybe a gift card to someplace like Barnes and Noble's or Borders?

    To me, that is code for cash, and they definitely do it in the Greek Orthodox Church. ;)

    As for the amount, I'm not sure. $50? $100? Or just whatever you are able to give.

    The priests at our church are big fans of Starbucks- we usually get them $15-20 gc for there for Christmas or whatever.  I can't remember what we did for the baptism specifically.  Probably something similar.

    Cash.  That's the way Catholics roll, too.  ;)

    We busted out some fat cash.  Ok, not really fat, but we did give cash.
