    Look for a book with games he can play while he is growing up.

    Of a Christian game? He maybe a bit young now.

    There is a DVD "The 1940s House" where a family is hired to go and live in a house from that time with all as it would have been in the early 1940s with WW2 going on, in London, England. They are there for 9 weeks. It says after they went home they were a lot closer because they made their own games and did more family things; than on TVs or elec. games.... It is not religious, but not against either,

    Well, you can give something religious like a baby bible or a wall hanging cross or something symbolic like planting a tree or giving a nightlight or just a 'normal' gift.

    I guess 25 $ should be ok and you can get something nice but I'd rather spend more than less since an uncle is a close relative.

    I find these websites very helpful which lists different kinds of baptism gifts such as the ones I mentioned above, you'll surely find some good ideas there: http://www.best-baby-gifts.com/baptism-gift-ideas....

    I especially like that Musical Lamb by Gund 'Jesus loves me' that they show there.

    Good luck!

    A baby bible or a young children's bible is a good idea :) you could also get a necklace with a saint medal or cross, or get a cross or religious picture to put in his room.

    When I was baptized I was given a little prayer book for children, a picture of Jesus for my room, and a cross necklace.

    When my nephew got baptized, he got a lot of clothes and religious baby books.

    A baby bible book? Okay, that's funny. I usually go with a savings bond.
