Yes people do give gifts to a newly baptized child. Even though he/she is unaware of the situations around, but it serves as a memory when they grow up.
Unfortunately, a wine decanter is not an appropriate gift for a child's party, even if the gift is meant for the parents. However, the decant would be the perfect gift for a fun summer wine tasting, or a get together of adult friends.
I think that an Ipod Nano is an appropriate gift. It's not too expensive, and it's entertaining for the child to have one. Even just having them listen to it in the car, on the way somewhere, could be a lifesaver for you because they are entertained and occupied. It's not to pricey of a gift for a child that's 9 years old.
For young children a gift basket with toys or games and candy would be appropriate. Another option to consider giving the child would be some kind of educational DVDs.
As long as you have the parents approval you can,but if it makes yo uncomfortable then pick a different gift.
Sure. Personally, I give a US Savings Bond to be given to the child at graduation or 18th birthday . It is a tidy sum by then.
Gift baskets make great gifts around holidays. They are most appropriate for people you have an established acquaintance with.
A monetary gift would be preferred by a filipino baptismal. If you are the main godparent $200. If you are a subsidiary godparent $100. If you are unable to afford a monetary gift, you may also give clothing appropriate for the size of the baby/child, rosary, bible, or chip in for the bapitsmal/reception/or the baby's attire that day.
The anointing with oil the sacred chrism, perfumed oil consecrated by the bishop, signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit to the newly baptized, who has become a Christian, that is, one "anointed" by the Holy Spirit, incorporated into Christ who is anointed priest, prophet, and king.
If the present is age appropriate, the child can use it as desired. However, many people give cash gifts and so on with the intention that the parent or guardian will save the money for a car or education when the child needs funding.
Gift is not necessary.
The best place to start with gift ideas for a newly married couple is with the couple's gift registry. In this way, one knows exactly what the couple wants. Other popular gift ideas include gift cards to good local restaurants, dance lessons, and gift certificates for maid service.
