The present I appreciated for my daughters christening was the simple fact people took time out their day just to be there. Anything else was a bonus. One present I did for my friend was to take lots of photos and then the next day I gave her them in a beautiful photo albulm I made by hand, she adored it x

Christening bonnet/handkercheif. Uses it during Christening and turns into a handkercheif for his/her wedding day. (Son gives to his bride). Very memorable throughout life and a great way to keep it going through generations.
