Christening/dedication Gifts


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello, my niece is being dedicated (sort of Christening) in a couple of weeks and I wanted to get her a nice gift. I know that a lot of people will be there and I am guessing they'll all the get the usual Christening gifts. I'm trying to think of something a bit different. Any ideas would be very welcome!

 

Hope you can help

I always think plants are a nice idea. I once gave a rose to a friend's daughter which had the same name as her, Jessica. I think there is an RHS site which gives you all plants, fruit trees etc with a particular name. All depends on whether her name is a common one or not though!

or something you can add to each year , troll beads we have a local shop which sells these and have seen similar ideas... the modern charm bracelet or necklace perhaps..

 

our son had a proof set of coins from the year of his birth, and half a sovereign or as a cheaper alternative you can get presentation sets of coins for year of birth.

When one of my friend's daughters was having her first communion last year, along with a small gift we gave her, we found a lovely treasure box for her to keep all the things people gave her, such as cards and the "order of service" etc. might you be able to find something in a gift shop with the child's name on it or beautifully decorated for her keepsakes. The box we bought would be big enough to keep many small things that one collects as "firsts" over the coming years.

Thank you for all your lovely ideas, they have given me plenty to think about! Not sure which one to go with yet!

I noticed today that one of our local shops, possibly Ernest Jones, had Disney beads bracelet like this, rather cute I must say.
