  • Christening Gift?

    What do folk normally buy for Christening gifts?

    I've a friend, who's invited me to his baby's christening. I think a couple of us are giong to club together to buy something for him, and I know it'll fall to me !

    What do you normally buy for such events? Do you buy for the baby, or the parents?

    Yours,
    A clueless bloke

            I think you can dedicate a newly planted tree too. Someone we know had a tree planted and dedicated to a new baby.

            Dedicate a tree and buy trees with the Woodland Trust Online Shop

                You'll be amazed at the different keepsakes there are. On our 8th grandchild's baptism I was really running out of ideas, but amongst other things we bought him an engraved silver yo-yo. Went down a treat.

                      Album would be good. There are always millions of pics of a newborn.
                      Ours received little mugs and those stable plates with a steep dish edge from the Beatrix Potter range. Really cute and practical.

                          Good one AP, you could even have it engraved.

                            There's some pretty rubbish stuff that's marketed as Christening gifts which most of the parents I know (whilst touched by the thought) have consigned to the back of a cupboard. Some of it is OK but obviously think before you buy. Most of the silver stuff isn't very practical and doesn't really serve a purpose although, for a girl, jewelry can be nice. I tend to go for books as they always seem to go down well.

                            Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                            Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
