Christening

Does anyone have gift suggestions for what we should send our friends for their baby's christening.  We have a wedding the same day and cannot make it :(

Re: Christening

  • I have a few savings bonds that my aunts/uncles gave me for my christening, and as an adult it's nice to know those bonds are there should I need them. You could go that route, or find a cute religious-themed gift at a Christian store. Good luck!

  • I have to second savings bonds or some sort of money in a dog eared account, maybe a college savings account? I'm a big fan of funding that the child can use when their older and more responsible. 

    Otherwise maybe a nice pin or necklace, some sort of jewelry the baby can grow into? My Godmother gave me a pin that I wore at my wedding. I'm thinking something the child could treasure well into adulthood and wear on other special religious occasions.

    My aunt bought a $25 savings bond for either my birth or my christening (forget which).  My mom put it in her safety deposit box and then totally forgot about it for 20 years.  Fortunately, I was just about to go on my first cruise when she decided to clean said safety deposit box out.

    It was worth over $75!  It was definitely awesome to have some extra unexpected money right before a trip.  I thanked my aunt for her gift given all those years ago and what a great time I had on my cruise.

  • A gift certificate for a place where mom & dad can get the baby something they need like diapers, clothing, or toys. I know gift cards can seem not personal, but I think it can help the parents not end up with a bunch of things they don't need, and when they do need something, like clothes as the baby grows, it can help them with the cost of that.
