Christening Gift Ideas for 2014

We love our friends and we adore their children, but when it comes to christenings, we never seem to have a clue what to buy. Every christening is the same. You want to pick the perfect gift, but it can be difficult. Money feels very impersonal (and what baby needs money?) whereas clothes feel like you have not made any effort at all. In short, buying a gift for a christening is a chore. If you are in a present giving quandary, you need not look any further. This guide contains everything you need to know regarding christening gift ideas.

Christening Silver

If you are something of a traditionalist when it comes to christening gifts, then opting a christening gift of silver will be ideal for you. No longer are we confined to giving silver money boxes, there are some great silver pieces and trinkets that make for a wonderful keepsake.

You can choose from silver rattles, bangles and bracelets, first curl and tooth boxes, silver christening scroll holders, tankards, egg cups and many more. What is more, you can have these gifts personalised so that they are even more meaningful to the little bundle of joy who is being christened. Personalise with their name and the date of their christening for a truly remarkable gift that will be cherished for a lifetime. Christening silver, in short, is the ultimate christening gift.

Personalised Art

You don’t have to purchase an original Lowry to impress the baby’s mum and dad, but personalised art is a real show stopper. There are a plethora of places online where you can seek out personalised wall art for babies. The designs are simply stunning; choose from jungle themes, animal themes, vintage bunting themes and so on. Personalise with the baby’s name and christening date for a gift that will be loved by both baby and parents. It may be advisable to ask what theme the baby’s room is decorated in, so you can match the art to their room. It’s both practical and thoughtful. You will earn some serious brownie points if you bear the gift of art.

Vintage Disney Ornaments

What child doesn’t grow up loving Disney? For the perfect gift, why not opt for a classic Disney ornament. There are a wide range of characters to choose from, such as traditional Disney Princesses for little girls and the classic animals from the old Disney films such as Robin Hood and Lady and the Tramp. Of course, these are quite costly but they do make for wonderful gifts. Choose from your favourite characters and be enthralled with Disney all over again. No one will mind if you treat yourself to your favourite movie character too!

Religious Gifts

Religious gifts are perfect christening gifts. Opt for crosses and relevant bible quotes adorning necklaces, signs and plaques. There are a multitude of religious gifts that you can choose from which are perfect for the occasion. Many people seek non-religious services when having their child christened, but if you are something of a traditionalist, then this is the perfect gift item for you.

Enthral your friends and family with your wonderful gifts and win brownie points in the process.
