a children's bible is the traditional present, followed by a silver crucifix, or a silver bracelet. However, having just had my child christened, and ending up with (frankly)a lot of "stuff" that she'll never really care about (including 4 picture frames and 5 money boxes), i would say "ask the parents"
My eldest got a framed tapestry, sewn by his Godmum, with his name, DOB , weight when born and place of birth with Beatrix Potter characters surrounding it. I love it, it's a real keepsake.
I had another done for my daughter when she was born to match.
Go on ebay and type in christening gifts, beautiful ideas on there. I recently bought a lovely personalised wall plaque in blue and cream with all the relevant details printed on, the mum loved it AND they show you how it looks so you can edit if necessary. Good luck.
well, i have to admit, i did. However, my husband does believe, and it was him that wanted her christened. Chritianity seems a somewhat benign option to me, so i agreed :)
My kids were given a set of bunnykins china. Bowl plate and mug. They used them for years and loved them. I still have the sets waiting for the grand kids
