I got three of those :rolleyes: One of them complete with "display stand"!


Along with six money boxes (three silver), ten picture frames (five silver), three ornamental bears (one silver!) and a small silver ornamental cup

I've kept it all as it belongs to the children, but am at a loss as what to do with it all

I really am an ungrateful mare aren't I! :rotfl:(Don't answer that!)


Edit: And I put "no presents please" on the Christening invite (no one read that bit obviously lol)

We asked for donations to charity in our sons name & even nominated a charity & set up online payments if people really wanted to give him a gift (but stresed it realy wasn't necessary). Most guests ignored us (why? what could be more christian than helping thopse in need?). He got one of those awful (sorry Crispeater, but they truly are!) silver scrolls with the WRONG date etched on it from my MiL, along with some very lovely gifts of the non-silver variety, but they are still un-necessary in my opionin.

At the very least, I'd say avoid anything associated with a christening. I'm sorry, but how many bibles and silver bangles does a child need? I might sound ungrateful but I am also pratical!
