Christening Gifts That Won’t Soon Be Forgotten
It’s a funny old day. You’re the centre of attention. But then that’s nothing new. What is novel, though, is this water being poured over your head while everyone else watches on. You’ve no choice but to ball your eyes out. Or alternatively, remain motionless, paralysed with fear as a man wearing a weird gown says something about fathers, sons and ghosts. It’s scary stuff. In fact it’s probably just as well that you’re too young for any cognitive recollection of the day’s events. Unfortunately, that also means you’re too young to remember any of your christening gifts, thus removing the slim, redeeming silver lining to what could otherwise be a traumatic day.
Happily, today’s gifts for christenings remain memorable long after the water’s dried from the forehead. For example, we really like the idea of utilising your baby snaps. You’ve got a few options in this respect, including pink and baby blue leatherette photo albums. They each hold 48 4×6″ pictures and feature an engraved silver plaque which can be personalised with a name and date. Sticking with the photo theme, you could also go for the so-called My First Year Photoshoot. As its name suggests, this involves three photo shoots taken when the little one is around four, eight and 12-months old. You’ll get a complimentary 5×7″ print from each session, as well as the obvious opportunity to buy plenty more.
The other idea for personalised christening gifts that we really like is to gets Bubs something for their nursery wall. There are two options on this front – either a child’s name in a frame, or a canvas print. The former features a solid ash frame surrounding a pink or baby-blue mount. Inside this is that name of the child written in a picture-based font of cartoon animals, insects, people and flowers – depending on whether they’re a boy or girl. There’s also room for a message underneath. The canvases, meanwhile, come in two distinct styles. The first follows exactly the same theme as the frame, but the second is more ‘arty’ and features their name surrounded by lots of different pictures – from dinosaurs, planes and cars, to fairies, flowers and butterflies.
