Do you give a gift for a Christening?

[Kazzo]

Yeah, normally it is a keepsake type present. I generally don't get the usual gifts, certificate holder, christening frame sort of presents as chances are they will get a few ( I know I have multiples of these).

My favorite gift is to get a picture of the child/baby and get one of those picture in the crystal 'thingy ma bob' (sorry to tired to think of better wording) that they do a photo places.

Yeah I have always brought a gift. I think last time I got my baby cousin the Peter Rabbit bowl and cup set. Wasn't to expensive cos they make them out of hard plastic too now a days so could be an idea?

Thanks so much girls. Now that you've mentioned all these ideas, I do recall seeing Christening type gifts in gift shops and jewellers silly me!

I'm so glad you've asked this question. I was thinking about it just the other day. I have got 2 to go to this year and I had no idea cause the last time I went to one was when I was little. Lol.

If it's a girl you could get a nice bracelet. You could get a Bible story book if they are churchgoers (they will probably already have a child's Bible if they are churchgoers), or you could get a nice ornament (Bunnykins etc). HTH

For best gifts for all occasions I have found a site that contains all varieties of gift for all occasions.

In our shop we have a section for Christening gifts and like the others have said it is mainly keepsake gifts. Some other ideas are a 'keepsake' brush and comb set, jewellery, a Christening Photo frame which includes pictures of the child and god-parents, birth certificate holder. How about a book of nursery rhymes if you are not the religious type to give a prayer book. Perhaps a plant? There are alot of camelias with names that apply to occasions or are named after people - you just have to find the right name/species to suit your occasion.
