For some reason both of my brothers have waited until their kids were about a year in age before having them baptized.

I had never heard of the pipe of port tradition, but apparently a pipe is approximately 500L. Maybe a nice bottle would suffice as part of the gift. I appreciate tradition, so would enjoy doing something with special meaning.

My wife would like to get her aquamarine earrings. Aquamarine is her birthstone and also the stone for the month she will be baptized, hence the year of age at baptism.

The earrings would be fun.

I think the "pipe of port" thing is from when you could easily buy wine before it was bottled. I don't think that's really possible for most people anymore.

If you get a bottle, be sure it's "vintage" port, which is the only kind that is meant to age.
