The occasion of a christening is a joyous one, and the child in question will receive heartfelt gifts that are sure to delight. How can you choose something special and unique for this occasion? There are so many lovely gifts to choose from. Here are some ideas that will make the perfect gift for a christening.
Personalised Silver Spoon
Nodding to tradition doesn’t mean boring. Some beautiful spoons can be customised and altered to suit your tastes. The spoon can be imprinted with the message of your choosing and delivered in a lovely gift box tied with a chiffon ribbon. This gift is classy and traditional, and chosen with love and thought.
Music Box
Parents will treasure and love a beautiful handmade music box that soothes their baby to sleep. Some music boxes rotate and show the mechanisms and inner workings. Others play a lullaby such as Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. There are also child-friendly versions with a closed lid. You can choose to have a message written on the lid.
A Handmade Knitted Blanket
A beautiful, soft blanket in a unique design or even featuring the child’s name would make a gorgeous gift for a christening. If you’re new to knitting, there are simple patterns and kits available so you can create something beautiful with relative ease. For a Knitting Kit, visit a site like woolcouturecompany.com
Handprint Kit
These kits may not be a new idea, but parents are enamoured with them. These kits allow you to preserve a moment that has passed too quickly. A special kit comes with an attractive case to protect the precious keepsake.
Rocking Horse
Retro-style your playroom with the classic rocking horse. Rocking horses are a great alternative to modern plastic toys that can be garish, noisy and bright. They add sophistication to a playroom. There are many modern fabric horses that are more comfortable, softer and come with pockets for Teddy to go on a ride!
Personalised Book
A personalised book is another great gift idea. You can choose a classic children’s book, a story personalised with the child’s first name or even a wishbook containing everything you want for them. You can find beautiful storybooks where you can add a message to the front cover and tailor the story so that it includes the child’s information, such as the parent’s name and the road they live on.
