Im needing help I've got a christening next week and I don't have a clue what gift to get the baby it's a boy
What type of things do u get for christening?

Hi hun
I've got lovely little sock cupcakes for sale on my ebay. They're not too expensive and make cute little gifts.

Other than that it's normally silver stuff

Ellie got:
cash
gift vouchers
picture frames
a cutlery set
a voucher to get her hand/footprint done
clothes
pjs

the most extravagant gift she got was a crate of rose Lanson champagne which is to kept for her 18th.

Umm, well ive only been to one recently and i didnt have a clue either. I didnt want to get the usual jewellery or keepsakes as i know everyone gets those so i just got a really cute teddy from Harrods and some nice books.

Oh i like the champagne idea!

A bunnykins set?

You can get lots of different bunnykins products. They are sold in the high street too in some independant gift/department stores. I got a few bits when I was a baby and Caitlin got more when she was born/1st xmas/bday etc.

The last christening we went to we bought the little boy some rattles etc. as he was just starting to get to that age of wanting a few more toys as he was only 12 weeks old.

Someone else got him one of those name train thingys like this....

And then someone else got a set of canvases so that they could do one of Mum and Babies Handprint and Dad and Babies Footprint.

Other than that just the usual silver stuff I think xx

a bankie usually, Arwyn got 2

Mamas and papas have some nice gifts. We got a silver rattle for L. Dales mum also bought him a silver bubble holder shaped like a teddy. Some people gave money, clothes, toys etc x

hayo, i got a christening tomoro and we have bought him a silver plated dinner set, its really nice its forever friends and has a blue enamel ring around the bowl and on the spoon. We have had it engraved with his name and date of the christening.
Tbh tho we got silver things from the godparents and things like toys/clothes/money/books/jewelery from the other guests. I think if everybody bought silver keepsakes it would be annoying lol!

right I am getting Wil christened...I don't care that it goes against all my beliefs I have no principles when it comes to champagne

That made me LOL Gill!

I went to a christening for a baby boy recently and similar idea to Pen's in that the baby was given a bottle of fancy whisky to have for his 18th birthday!

I am the least religious person ever but am with Gill on the willing to compromise for champagne xx
