A Unique Baby Shower Gift Idea Starts A Family Tradition

It's also a perfect Christening gift!

baptism gift ideas


This unique baby shower gift idea was adapted from a wedding gift. The Red Plate tradition is a perfect for a baby shower, a new baby or a Christening or Baptism gift. It is thoughtful, creative and a gift the child and the family will enjoy for years to come.

Look at this unique baby shower gift. I know most moms-to-be have registries, but if you want to give a baby gift that is special and will be used for years, consider the Red Plate Tradition. It is a beautifully crafted red china plate with You Are Special painted around the rim. It has a rich history as this plate tradition was brought over to the United States over 100 years ago. The red plate in Europe was set out to honor special gifts or special events in a family's life and handed down from generation to generation. So you are not only giving a gift but the possible start of a tradition within the family. It makes for such a special baptism gift or gift for a christening.

The story that went with it that was found on Yahoo Answers and goes as follows:
Red Letter Days

This one special red plate is intended for "Red Letter Days."

Surprise one another by setting it for your new spouse when you prepare a special dinner for him.

Let the birthday person use the red plate to mark another year of good health and happiness.

Set the red plate for a guest of honor who comes to visit your home.

Celebrate the completion of a big project or a promotion for your loved one.

One day you may set this plate for a child who brings home a great report card.

However, and whenever you choose to use this red plate, I pray God's blessing on you, your marriage, and your family.

Here is the poem if it is given as a baby shower gift and the other if you are giving it as a christening gift . Feel free to use them when you pass on the Red Plate tradition.You will see when you gift the Red Plate how people just love it. It is not the most expensive gift, but may be one of the most thoughtful.
