I have a big box in the loft of unused christening presents for my little boy - first tooth boxes, hairbrushes, money boxes etc that have never been used, and never will be - go to the bank / post office and buy a coin in a presentation pack such as a crown, a two pound coin, five pound coin with the year on and when he is older he still has it - what use is a silver hairbrush, first tooth box, or ten money boxes???

A silver or pewter "christening cup" with his name engraved on it... a baby's first bible... if he's hispanic a piece of baby jewelry... if he's another culture, find out what's traditional in that culture as a gift for this occasion.
A silver picture frame to hold a special picture of the day... or just go to a Things Remembered in the mall and see what they have that would be appropriate that could be personalized with his name and/or christening date.

Guess it depends how much you want to spend and if its a relative etc.
Recent christening pressies that are different to the normal St. Christopher, Cross, tooth box, photo album and bible, that I've bought or heard of include sponsering an endangered animal and tickets to the local ball park (the ones for toddlers).

I also have a 8 month previous daughter. toddlers that age are studying, exploring, and taking each and every thing in around them. something with awesome colorings. If the toddler is teething, toddlers love books and my daughter has a e book that has rubber corners for chewing. Wal-Mart has a great decision of toy for this age. talking books, a ball that self-propels, performs song, talks, ect. Small toys that he can hold close actually yet it incredibly is authorized for his age so he wont choke. My daughter loves pushing bigger products. toddlers that age have many times merely mastered crawling and commencing off to tug up on issues and studying the mastery of walking. perchance something he can push a.e. a push backyard mower because he's a boy, he can play with it now, and later. something that makes noise and that's awesome in coloration.

We always buy a savings bond or ask if they have started a college fund we could make a donation to... I try to do something that will mean something for their future instead of something they will use and be gone or when the child is grown won't mean anything.

Most gifts are a rememberance gift. Something like picture frame, a picture album, a keepsake box for those little things like the first tooth, or the first haircut.

The head of an atheist, that should scare him sufficiently to devote his life to Almighty God.
That or a cuddly toy perhaps.

I find that a pipe of Taylor's always goes down well eventually. If you can run to it, 1,000 acres of scottish grouse moor makes a pleasing gift.

Try a silver rattle or maybe even a silver birth certificate holder. What about a silver hairbrush?
