my sister and bro in law were god parents to my youngest and they got her a gold necklace with a cross on,she's only 1 now but will wear this on her confirmation and holy communion aswell and they also got her this musical wheel which u put photo's in from 3 months upto 1 year i think.

My son was given stirling silver cufflinks for his baptism from his godmother. He is 6 on Thursday and wore them for the first time last weekend to a wedding and showed them to everyone who would give him 10 secs! He was so proud of them and the fact that he was given them as a baby!

It was a brilliant present. They engraved them with his initals too...

Very personal present and one that will be used again and again when they get older...

Hope you work it out

Don't under any circumstances look at a silver birth certificate holder!! Someone bought my son one, and I've never used it! He did use the silver train money box though, but has now outgrown it.

Back in the day when you could them for £10, I bought premium bonds but at a starting price today of £100, this could be pricey. Another thing I've bought has been a hardback version of Peter Rabbit books - I placed a bookplate (posh word for a special type of sticker sold in packs - got mine from WHSmiths, I think) in it with a little message. This was well received. Hope this helps.

my sons godparents all gave him money which we used to buy a silver ID bracelet and got it engraved. it doesnt fit him now as we got adult size so he has it when older.

My friend speaks very highly of the service and gift she received from an online personalised handmade place.
I have it bookmarked as I'm sure if I have an occasion to go to I'll consider the gifts. Had a quick look and there is a christening section

The gifts all seem very reasonably priced.

When my two children were born I bought a plant for the garden so I would have a permanant reminder of them (as if I need reminding I hear them squabbling all the time!) Try R.H.S site for names of plants or flowers the same as your godson to be.H.T.H
