I am going to my cousin's son's baptism on sunday and is normal to give a gift?  If so what do you give?

    We always do, both for my Italian Catholic side of the fam and the Christian side if the fam. Usually something small... Last one I did a little animal, a baby book and a picture frame.

    My sister brought a 'my first bible' and a willow tree angel of prayer for my DD's christening, both of which I thought were perfect.

    Here it is normal to give money or a religious item like a cross necklace for a girl if you're an immediate family member, but for a cousin's son I would say a card would be fine if you want to take anything.

    I usually give money for these occasions. Everytime I write a check out for a child in the memo section I always write "for college".

    It kind of depends. In some denominations/cultures it is (catholic yes) but others not. We didn't receive any gifts at my daughters baptism and I didn't expect any.

    I usually bring a card and a small gift. Bible, rosary, picture, etc.

    We usually write a check but you can just give a nice card and maybe a small stuffed animal or something for the child.

    We didn't expect anything with our son's baptism...I think folks coming is just lovely enough.  We did go out to eat afterwards and it was great to have everyone there to just socialize, for the encouragement, and love.

    We gave our niece a check (for savings) at her baptism...

    We do give gifts and received gifts for our son's baptism.  We got a Hug-A-Bible (very cute), a picture frame, a personalized "My Very Own Name" book (which you probably won't get in time).  Maybe just a little kids Bible and a little stuffed lamb?
