Christening Gifts

Christenings are such joyous occasions, and not only spiritual events but social ones too.

They're the perfect opportunity to gather family and friends together to celebrate the birth of a child.

What type of gifts are appropriate for a christening?

Whether you’re family, a godparent or close friend, it’s advisable to bring a thoughtful gift to a christening.

A traditional christening gift would have been something made of silver such as cutlery, photo frames, jewellery or christening boxes.

However, the trend nowadays is moving towards more modern, personalised gifts, including keepsake books, soft toys or items of clothing.

As a very general rule of thumb, if you are to be a godparent then you should pay a little bit more for a present and take more time choosing an appropriate one.

Unique christening gift: ABC Animals Starter Kit

If you’re going to a christening soon and looking for a suitable present why not consider our ABC Animals Starter Kit.

With every page inviting creativity and personalisation, there really is nothing quite like this available anywhere else.

Create unforgettable memories

On each page there is space to write a happy memory of the baby. This might be a significant age, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months old for example, or a milestone they achieve such as their first giggle, or a special memory not to be forgotten.

“1 month old - look how tiny your feet are!”

“We have just started weaning and you can’t get enough of beetroot, EVERYTHING is purple!”

“We melt every time you giggle, after bath time you love having raspberries blown on your tummy, again and again”

Customer testimonial...

“A keepsake kit aimed at preserving tiny hand and foot prints became a sweet addition for friends celebrating a newborn’s arrival. Instead of messy ink or paint, these pads left minimal cleanup, and I saw them in action while helping the new parents. Five stars for offering a heartfelt way to memorialize those tiny first months, leaving no complicated mess behind.”
