Unique Christening Gifts
Baby jewellery, money boxes and soft toys all make fantastic christening gifts but if you’re looking for something a bit different then here are our top 3 present ideas:
1. Baby Record Book
A baby record book is the perfect keepsake enabling parents to record memorable moments such as baby’s first outing, first Christmas, first birthday, first holiday and lots more. Baby books are suitable for almost all guests and provide a lasting gift that will be cherished for years to come.
2. Paperweight
A paperweight may not seem like an obvious christening present but if baby’s parents are busy office types then this gift provides a constant reminder of their little loved one at work.
3. Personalised Alphabet Clock
Alphabet clocks are fun, practical gifts that can be personalised with the baby’s name and christening date and also double up as a wall decoration for babies first years. If you want a gift that combines practicality with sentimental value, then this is it!
Gorgeous Gifts for the Godparents
You want to thank the godparent for their part in the celebration and a great way to do this is with a special godparent gift.
Fortunately there are lots of godparent gift ideas to choose from including mirror frames and compact mirrors for females and keyrings and cufflinks for gents.
If the godparents are religious then it’s also worth considering a godparent candle or mug featuring an endearing verse.
Say ahhhhh to cuddly gifts!
Who can resist a cuddly toy? It’s a tough heart that won’t melt when given a soft and cuddly keepsake and one reason they make such popular baby gifts.
Teddy bears are by far the most popular cuddly toy but why not take a look at our Message Bunny, Poodle Bag and Animal Comforter for something a bit different?
And don’t forget, most cuddly toys can be personalised with your own message or greeting, making your gift extra special!
Baby Jewellery – The Perfect Christening Gift
When deciding on a christening gift, baby jewellery is one of the most popular choices, particularly for godparents, close relatives and grandparents. Amongst the most popular types of jewellery include necklaces and bracelets, with the D for Diamond children’s range a particular favourite.
Baby jewellery is popular for a number of reasons none more so than the lasting keepsake it provides. (How many people reading this still have their first baby bangle stored away?) It is also a great gift for personalisation, ensuring continued sentimental value for years to come.
A carefully chosen jewellery gift, especially one that is accompanied with a beautiful gift box, is not only a piece of jewellery; it is a memory of a precious day. A daythat parents and children will be able to reminisce about in years to come – and why for many, baby jewellery is the perfect christening gift.
Christening Gifts for a Baby Boy
Alphabet Name Clock – A Great Gift for a Baby Boy
It’s a baby boy! So now the search is on for the perfect christening gift to celebrate. The obvious colour associated with boys is blue so choosing a gift to reflect this is a good starting point. Christening mugs, Christening plates and candles all make excellent gifts and are typically available in pastel blues or greys for boys. For something more neutral, then silver plated gifts are a good choice, and have the added benefit of a high end appeal.
For sporting families, a baby boy often means an inherited love of sports so why not consider a football or rugby shaped money box? A canvas print with a sporting theme is also a popular option and a great room decoration for a special little boy.
For gifts with less of a sporting twist then an alphabet name clock is a fitting and educational option. Personalise with baby’s name and christening date and choose from a range of themes to make your gift even more memorable.
Finally, how could we forget the ever popular cuddly toy? Whether it’s a boy or girl, this cute and cuddly keepsake is always set to raise a smile and become a treasured keepsake during baby’s formative years.
