Christening Gift Suggestions

When attending a Christening ceremony it isn't uncommon to bring a gift for the child. If you are unsure what to get, there are some common gifts that you can give to mark the occasion. These can be found at Christian gift shops or at stores that specialize in keepsakes and engraving.

• Silver picture frame – A silver picture frame to hold a picture of the baby is also another desirable baby gift. A frame can be plain or have intricate detailing.


• Money - Give the gift of money in the child's name, either as a charitable contribution or as an investment.


• Jewelry - Earrings, a bracelet or necklace can be given as a Christening gift and held until the baby becomes old enough to wear it either as a young child, teenager or adult. A baby's rosary bracelet is another option when giving jewelry as a gift.


• Personalized children's bible - a personalized bible can be given as a Christening gift. Futhermore, it can be tailored to the child's or your individual tastes.


• A baby set - A silver gift set is a common Christening gift that includes a cup and silver spoon and fork. These gifts are often engraved to give them a more personal touch. If you prefer, either the cup or the feeding set may be given separately as a gift.


• Silver baby rattle - A silver-plated baby rattle is another classic keepsake gift. These can be personalized with the baby's name and Christening date.


• Heirloom baby pillow - Heirloom pillows can be custom designed with the name and Christening date. This can be done either professionally or by anyone who has the necessary skill to do the needlework themselves.
