Milestone Collections

Milestone collections: cards and keepsakes for every ceremony

Five milestones, ten collections. Each one has a card range and a keepsake range, so you can send a card, send a gift, or send both from the same page.

Everything is drawn in house, printed in the UK and posted first class the same working day. Where we don't make something - silver keepsakes, rosaries, medals, devotional jewellery - we say so on the collection itself rather than sell you a substitute.

Pick the milestone below. Cards are blank inside; keepsakes are candles, prints and coasters that stay in the house long after the day.

Start with the cards

Blank inside, room for a proper keepsake message, posted first class the same working day.

Shop christening cards

Christening

  • Christening cards: blank inside, no printed verse to write around.
  • Christening gifts: candles, prints and coasters the parents keep.
  • Godparent gifts: for thanking them, or for asking them in the first place.
  • Wording help before you write: what to write in a christening card.

Baptism

  • Baptism cards: welcome and celebration designs, free of printed wording.
  • Baptism gifts: keepsakes for the family rather than the font.
  • Works for adult baptisms too - the blank inside is what makes it flexible.

First Holy Communion

  • First Holy Communion cards for a seven or eight year old's biggest day.
  • Communion gifts: prints, candles and keepsakes that go on a shelf at home.
  • Rosaries, missals and medals aren't ours - a Catholic gift shop will do better.

Confirmation

  • Confirmation cards that talk to a teenager as the young adult they're being confirmed as.
  • Confirmation gifts: keepsakes rather than toys, for eleven to sixteen.
  • Sponsors and godparents: a dated keepsake is the safest gift here.

Naming ceremony

  • Naming ceremony cards with no religious wording to cross out.
  • Naming ceremony gifts: candles, prints and coasters for a secular naming day.
  • Guide parents get the same keepsakes godparents do - just without the church.

How to choose between a card and a keepsake

  • Guests: a card with the date written under your name is enough.
  • Wider family: card plus a keepsake in the £15 to £25 range.
  • Godparents and guide parents: the keepsake is expected, the card is what gets kept.
  • Grandparents: something dated and framed, so it survives the memory box.

Frequently asked questions

Which collection do I need for a christening?

Christening cards for the card, christening gifts for a keepsake, and godparent gifts if you're thanking or asking a godparent. Baptism collections hold the same designs under the other name.

Is there a difference between the christening and baptism collections?

Only the name. Baptism is the sacrament, christening the British term for an infant baptism, so the cards and keepsakes are interchangeable - pick whichever word the family uses.

Do you sell religious keepsakes like rosaries or silver gifts?

No. We print cards and make candles, prints and coasters. If the gift itself needs to be devotional, a specialist religious retailer is the right place and we'd rather say so.

Are the cards blank inside?

Yes, every card in these collections is blank inside. These cards get kept for decades, so the message you write matters more than a printed verse.

Can I use these collections for a non-religious naming day?

Yes. The naming ceremony cards and gifts carry no religious wording at all, so nothing needs editing before you send it.
