Traditional Christening Gifts

Below is a list of ideas for traditional christening gift guaranteed to make choosing the most appropriate gift simple and easy. The main thing to remember is that you are commemorating the baby’s introduction to the world, acceptance into the Church and dedication to God.

Since the occasion is a religious ceremony, some of the best gifts can be found at your local Christian or bible bookstore. Those gifts will usually include the symbol of a cross, and may be a picture frame, a Bible engraved with the baby’s name, or a cross or crucifix to hang on the wall of the baby’s room.

Gifts of jewelry are also appropriate. For a girl consider a pearl necklace or charm bracelet, or heirloom piece of jewelry. For a boy a pair of cufflinks can be appropriate, as can a saint’s medal.

A not-so traditional christening gift is the savings bond which is a gift that will grow as the child grows. This can be an especially thoughtful gift and be really appreciated when it matures around the time the child leaves for college.

Some families have traditions for baptism and christening gift ideas that have been passed down through the generations. These traditional christening gifts are often an engraved silver cup or a set of silver baby utensils.

A unique gift idea might be a time capsule kit that provides opportunity to record details about the world and times surrounding the event. Another way would be to collect a number of national newspapers and then have them preserved for the child’s future enjoyment.
