    Not sure about Australia, but in the UK, silver is the traditional Christening gift.......I found some adorable "First Tooth" silver pots in a jeweller......about $30.....I bought a few, and I now give these!

    Actually we were just reading coco a "christening present " this morning. It's a gorgeous little book called Bible stories and is a childs book. My 8 year old read it to her. I am not religious, but the book is lovely and the stories are gorgeous.
    Other things we've been given are photo frames, clothes, books (doesn't have to be religious)! xo

    I second the idea of a really nice book - something special and hard cover so it lasts. Then you can write a nice little note inside it too.

    We were Godparents recently and we bought a lovely children's bible and wrote in the front of it. When Mackenzie was born she got a gorgeous guardian angel (which you will find in a gift shop or jewellers) and another great pressie was a photo album which was silver and it had engraved her name and date of her Christening. We put all her Christening pix in there so they are all together.
