Christening gifts for older children

[Disney Addicted]

I'm stumped... My nephew (age 12) and niece (age 7) are being Christened this coming weekend. I would like to get them a gift. I've been searching Pinterest for ideas, but everything seems directed towards babies.

Any ideas? Please and thank you!!

Since this is a spiritual event I'd lean towards gifts which will enhance their faith.

7 year old:
Have you seen the Adventure Bible? It's perfect for young grade schoolers--a complete Bible with lots of extras.
Also the Jesus Storybook Bible has beautiful illustrations.
She might also like a cross to wear?

For the 12 year old The Cooper Kids Adventure series is neat. (Follow archaeologist Jake Cooper and his teenagers, Jay and Lila, as they plunge through tangled jungles, meet "ghosts" from the past, search for missing standing stones, and battle ancient evil forces. These Indiana Jones-like adventures will keep readers on the edge of their seats while teaching biblical values! Recommended for ages 10 to 14.)

The Action Bible is also a good choice for this age group.

My niece will be almost 7 when she gets baptized. I'm her godmother. I'm thinking a nice cross necklace.

Stop by a Christian book store. They have lots of gifts, not just books.

Of all the christening/baptism gifts I got as an infant, I still only have one of them: a small, pink New Testament with my name embossed on it. I would recommend doing something like that. It's simple, but meaningful.

Nice rosaries with a monetary gift for their college fund...
