  • Baptism Gifts for 70-somethings?

    Plans are coming togther well for our Baptism service a week on Sunday, I have even managed to find a suitable card to give from the Church as well as one from me.  Now it is just the small matter of a suitable gift, and here I'm a bit stuck for ideas.  From me as a person, I'm going to give an anthology of Christian poetry, but what to get from Church?  Our candidate already has a fairly new, up to date Bible and I bought her and her husband a Salvadorean cross as one of their wedding gifts.  I did spot some commemorative candles on Ebay at £10 plus postage but am not overly enamoured with that idea.  M is a thinking person who would not be an appropiate recipient of Patience Strong or anything of the 'Power of the Praying Thingamagig' ilk.  I feel that something in a spirituality/devotional/prayer line would be good but I'm not sure what and I don't have time to tour every Christian book shop in a 10 mile radius to find something.  Any thoughts?
