Ideas for personalised gift for a baby girl?

Sorry if this isn't the right place but I thought given that a lot of parents post here it would be better than "I wanna buy it..."
My friend's baby is being christened in a few weeks and I would like to buy her something personalised with her name. She has a fairly unusual name and I doubt I'd ever find it on something shop-bought so I'm probably looking at Etsy or Not on the High Street type sellers, but I'm lacking in inspiration. Ideally I would like it to be something she could have for years and would like as she gets older, rather than something very babyish. Budget I suppose would be up to about £30. The only thing she already has is a little sign for her bedroom door.
Has anyone bought anything for a child with their name on it that they would recommend? Or have any ideas?

Try not on the high street, online. They have lots of personalised things, not cheap though.Member #14 of SKI-ers club

I did inbox you but just thought what about a photo album with her name on it? That's something she can keep forever.People don't know what they want until you show them.0

My daughter got a lovely 'very hungry caterpillar' money box engraved with her name on it

I would get a pendant with her initial.
For close children I go to Tiffanys and for those where money is more in need of being budgeted a highstreet chain is fine, I wouldn't give it in the highstreet box though, much better to purchase a nice gift box for it.0 -

That's alot of money for a name sown on a blanket! We got a towel made up with blue letters for £5 and it looks lovely.People don't know what they want until you show them.0 -
Hiya, I hope that this is ok to post - I make personalised oak photo frames, they've been really popular for christening gifts.

Try ebay 'personalised keepsake box' for a nice gift idea incorporating names/messages. Brings a few up - I particularly like this one as it suits them when they're young, and prob big enough to still add to over the years and not babyish. Things can be changed to suit.
