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
how about a memory box so when they get older they can put objects of importance to them in it! I made one and i love it!

Beatrix potter musical box.Peter rabbit or Jemima puddleduck etc.They make a lovely keepsake.My daughter got one when she was born-shes 11 now and still enjoys playing the lullaby tune every now and then.Am buying one for my nieces christening next month.Can be a little pricey but lovely gift from a godparent.
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.
For occasions like this, the parents might get gifts that they already have. A good way to make sure someone likes a gift is by letting THEM pick!
i usualy buy them an apple tree and ask parents to plant it for them,somewere safe,or small print site make cheap fingerprint charms for when they get older ,it set in silver loveheart,or a hamper of cheap but good toys,or best yet a vocher for a mold of there foot to be taken profesionaly,and there parents can add onto the price,this was done for me and i ended up spending 150.00 euros but i never would have done it myself,and i just love it
We bought a few Christening Display Windows as presents for friends’ children’s christenings years ago. A miniature display window which has representations of the date, time, name and weight of baby in the display - I’m not sure if anyone still makes them but am trying to find out.
How about a christening guest book? I take your favourite photos of baby, fully edit them, and design a personalized guest book that everyone at the christening can then sign and add their blessings. Lovely to keep for the parents, and could also be part of ‘baby’s’ 18th present!
A lovely white dove release to celerbrate there birth after the christening and all the guests will love it as well
A really nice Christening Bible - you can have it engraved as well.
why not buy a wooden noahs ark
a wonderful gift they will play with and treasure
you can buy a stuffed “Precious Moments” doll that when you put the hands together it recites the Lord’s Prayer.
For a girl, maybe a dress. OR! you could ask the parents what the baby need at this moment and about sizes (which are very important).
A sliver napkin holder from H Samuel or Ernest Jones etc…. that’s what I’ll be giving
A lovely engraved Photo Frame makes a lovely keepsake or a personalised plate
For a timeless gift that makes a great keepsake, these baptism gift plaques are great foe a personalized option.
