Christening gift for goddaughter - help please!

I bought my own twins adult charm bracelets and intend to add charms on special ocassions until they're grown up.

Can I suggest that you don't buy Willow Tree figurines or Snow Babies. Or a wee box for the first tooth. The girls got some nice jewellery.

I'd have liked maybe some "classic" books and a bible I think, but no one got them anything like that.

I bought my goddaughter a charm bracelet and an initial charm. So far i've added a Christmas tree (tasteful one) for her 1st christmas and its her 1st birthday tomorrow so i've bought her a 1.

I also got my goddaughter a charm bracelet. I add a charm each year on her birthday.

I've just got my niece and nephew (twins) a complete set of Beatrix Potter and Whinnie The Pooh Books - all in nice presentation boxes.

What about an adult's locket? I got one when I was christened and it's something I can still wear now. I also gave one as a christening present.

My standard christening present are classic books / book sets / compilations

I like the charm bracelet idea

This site has some really beautiful things on it suitable for a Christening

I love this although tis a bit pointless!

Davy was given the most beautiful carved antique silver spoon. just stunning. (if you look closely it's carved with baby's name, date of birth and weight) https://www.hairygrowler.co.uk/commissionsbirth.htm

I love that!

My twins got one of these for their Christening and they are beautiful and fun as well.

The ducks spin on the magnetic surface, it is hard to describe how fab it is.

The other best present they got was a sand and water table for the garden ?

They also got some cutlery, some nice books, some clothes etc

Never mind for a baby, I want one of those <stamps feet>

I know they are fab ?

My son's one has a little spaceship and spaceman on it, sooooo cute!

there's some nice stuff on here. MissSun was given the wooden pram with her name painted on it. She also has the birth certificate holder, much nicer than the silver one IMHO and we keep our marriage certificate in it aswell.

I also like the treasure/keepsake boxes, my parents had one when we were growing up that we loved to look through, they still have our first birthday/birth cards now and I've kept MissSun's and all her name tags from hospital etc.

Wow charm bracelets are a propular idea aren't they. I was going to suggest that, or a set of classic books. I bought my niece a set of Winnie The Pooh in a chest, about 20 books altogether, it's lovely.

I really like the locket idea to.
