I gave a friend DS recently a wooden Noah's arc and some Elmo bookends, as I asked her if she wanted royal dalton and bunnykins things and she said no.
I love wooden toys and have given these as gifts for both birthdays and christenings etc.
You can get some gorgeous things that look like 'keepsakes' but are quiet practical, wooden cars, trucks, trains, boats etc.
We recently got a little man a personalised snow dome. It has all his 'details' on one side and a photo of him on the other. DD had her naming ceremony on the weekend and some of the keepsakes she receieved were a first tooth holder, her name scrapbooked in a frame, name plaque for the door, photoframe, certificate cylinder.....
You can do jewelery, engraved.
A cross for the wall
certificate holder engraved with the date.
Clothes
frames
money for savings account.
That's just a few things ds2 got for his baptism
ooh a blessed set of rosary beads is always nice. From religious shops.
A kids bible.
Depends if you want to go religious or not.
I got some personalised cot sheets done. Mum used to have embroidery business so she did them but that all feel apart and she doesnt have it anymore.
I always find this one hard.
A christening candle if they dont already have a family candle that they are using? You might need to ask them so that you can give it to them before the day if they would like that.
