We bought our Nephew an olive tree as thay have a lovely garden. We thought it would be nice for hin to watch the tree grow and bear fruit around the time of his birthdays!!

Dont know how much you want to spend. Premium bonds are good but start at £100. not bad if you split between a few of you. Or just good old plain money into their savings account.

how about one of those name a star after the person tins. i did this for a friends daughter you get to name the star anything you want and get a location so that you can look for it in the sky and it's all registered as their's forever. about £15 so not too expensive but a lovely novelty.

I knew my niece would have lots of Picture Bibles, as very church background, so I gave money specifically for her university fund (probably enough for 1 day in 17 years time!)

Is it for a boy or girl?

We bought a music box for our god son. It was £65 (even two years ago!). If I went for another christening, I would probably get another one, possibly cheaper one. I think they are lovely, and can be used to play a lullaby to the little one!

For our god daughter we did a name the rose gift, came with a lovely gift box and some of the rose seeds that have been named after her.

How about a lifetime diary? When younger the parents can fill it in to record major events, and as they get older they can take over and fill it in for themselves.
