Definitely money or a bond. Im against giving money cause I feel the parents will spend it. So a bond is always good.
As far as the amount it depends on who they're related to you and how close you are w/ them.

I agree. Im not too keen on giving money. Plus a bond will be worth more down the road as long as they dont cash it in.
I always give bonds for Christening, and communion gifts

That depends, who are they to you? Are they a niece and nephew, or children of a friend, etc.?

I don't know what the norm is for being the godparent since I've never been one, but FSIL's daughter's xning was last weekend and FH was the godfather. Let's just say the wedding fund is back to 0.

They are FH's cousin's twins. They live in NJ and we hardly see them. Not sure what to do?

Ok, well we have one next weeked for FH's first cousin's kid and we had one this past summer for a diff. cousin's kid. They (FH and his cousin) are pretty close though and we gave them $150. That was for one kid. I don't know if that's the going rate but that's what we gave. When my friend's son was baptized last year we gave $100 I think.
