Christening Gift Ideas

[Marie81]

Hi,

I am really stuck for what to buy my niece as a Christening gift! Does anyone have any suggestions? I have about ?40 to spend and don't want anything religious. I have had a look online but being so indecisive as I am, am finding it a nightmare to choose! Any ideas would be really apppreciated :)

what about a bracelet? either a bangle type one (you can get them extendable) or a link one.

or a charm which can be added to a bracelet or necklace later on.

amyw: that's a nice idea....something she can keep and wear as she grows up, thanks :)

HI,

I got my goddaughter a blanket with her name on it. It was cream colour bvut you could pick from couple of them.

she absolutely loved it and for the past 4 years she slept with it, walk with it and took it everywhere. She loves it.

you can find it online. Just google personalised blankets.

good luck and hope that's help.

Great site called notonthehighstreet.com has some lovely ideas

Handpicked.co.uk also has nice ideas.

Classic book set like Winnie the pooh or Beatrix potter, personalised wooden train set (each carriage is a letter of their name,from amazon), nice silver cutlery set, silver piggy bank from the little White company, personalised chair or toy of though might be a bit pricey.

How about a Roman coin, or a bottle of whisky to put by until she's 21

Total wild card but I decided to get a Fisher Price record player for my 'god'-daughter. Bit random I know but lots of music lovers in the family so seemed appt. Couldnt find one for love nor money however, but noticed well after the christening that they had them in the toy shop in Dulwich Village.

hello

When my son was christened he had lots of cutlery sets and cups etc... one great idea was a personalised passport cover. I bought one recently for my nephew and it was about 35 pounds from aspinall, you can order online in a range of colours. I felt quite emotional when I opened my sons thinking of all the places he might visit and discover throughout his life, and the gift was from my brother who's a pilot, so it was a really appropriate gift.
