While I probably should have just added to her 529, I put together a basket of baby clothes with roses on them (her name is Rose), religious children's books and DVDs and a stuffed animal. Not the most creative, but it made for a nice presentation. The baptism is this Sunday.
When she's a little older, I'll start on the jewelry.

If you can't make a lovely heirloom quilt for the baby , you can't go wrong with a silver rattle, silver baby fork and spoon with a little silver dish, silver cup.....
In the Army (or at least in the Armor Branch), a new baby that was born into the battalion received a silver baby cup. A newly-married couple received a silver tray. All who PCSed out of the bn. received silver mint julep cups. These items were engraved with the unit's name and/or crest.

I gotta say - pewter rather than silver. I have three generations of silver baby cups I have to polish. How I bless my youngest son's godparents, who got him a lovely pewter cup which stays beautiful and shiny with no polishing!
