Christening Gifts

A christening gift is meant to still be in the house in twenty years' time, which rules out most of what's sold for babies. What's here is the keepsake end of it: candles, prints and coasters that the parents will keep long after the day itself.

Everything is drawn in house, printed in the UK and posted first class. Silver keepsakes and religious jewellery aren't something we make — if that's what you're after, a jeweller will serve you better, and we'd rather say so.

Not sure what to choose? Our christening gift ideas guide covers gifts from godparents, grandparents and guests, and what to spend. Add a card from our christening cards collection, and if you're the godparent, see godparent gifts.
