What can I buy for a babies christening in a couple of weeks? He's 6 months old?

Answer 1

My daughter had some lovely things when she was christened last year.
I have seen some lovely stuff in Mothercare as they have started doing some momento stuff.
One person got her a lovely wooden rattle with her full name on and date of birth. Now she has grown out of playing with it it is in her keepsake box.
A keepsake box is a nioce idea too, its somewhere for the first dummy, christening robe, etc... to go for them to see their things once they are older.
Also she had a lovely wind up winnie the pooh music carousel on which winnie the pooh and friends were on an upturned umberella...this was from Debenhams.
Hope this helps.

I'm lucky enough to have three godchildren varying from 6 months to 14 years in age. I've always found that a lovely Christening gift is a children's treasury eg Pooh Bear, children's classic literature, nursery rhymes, Thomas the Tank Engine etc etc because you can write a message and date it in the front so the child will always have a reminder of the occasion. I've put a link below to the page on Amazon that has lots of these types of books. If you're a godparent, you could maybe get a small children's first bible too and write in the front. You can print off black and white or coloured book plates at http://www.myhomelibrary.org/bookplates.html

I agree that although there's loads of cute gifts out there, you'd be better off starting a savings account for him - 'My Gap Year' or something. Depends - are you god parent or just a mate? If you're god parent it means you can always put money into the account if you're not in the country on birthdays etc. If you do go the silver route though, buy a plain silver cup rather than one with winnie the pooh on - that way he can still drink out of it later on in life! And rather than John Lewis or anything, where a silver christening cup is £80, look for a silver wholesaler (there's a shabby old one off Portobello Road if you live in London) - you can get exactly the same mug for £45.

i have read all tha answers so far, my first instinct was a tooth fairy, it is silver and unscrews so that you can savethe babies first teeth, the second best is indeed premium bonds but unfortunately the minimum investment has to be £100.00, which is alot unless a few of you club together, but the parents have to be guardians of the money and can cash in when they wish!!!
we send our grandchildren 250.00 each christmas, and wonder sometimes if its still there! but there is always a chance that the child can win alot of money, we had £300.00 last month, luck of the draw! or how about a years lottery! nah thats naff! what might be an idea is a charm bracelet with one charm on it, and add a charm each birthday! i love mine now, but it was exciting every year to get it out and put the charm on and then it went away for the year until I was 18, that was nice. Having read the answer back the charm bracelet is out of the question, I feel like a right dumbo, maybe a sovereign with a special year on it, maybe a newspaper for the day he was born. and maybe a card cuddle and a cutie teddie! my daughter at 21 still has her teddy that was bought on the day of her birth and she treasures it, he's a bit scruffy now, but she will still take him to bed,

of direction he don't have assumed you will possibly watch the toddler on an analogous time as he went to the bathing room to assist your 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. and of direction you need to no longer have assumed he replaced into conserving the toddler. Come on, you, your husband and your 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous are all interior the bathing room, and the toddler isn't. somebody no longer having somewhat one in his hands is extremely a huge situation to miss, even on an analogous time as groping under the sink for bathing room paper. You the two left her unattended. i'm no longer asserting your husband is harmless, yet actual, how did you anticipate him to react? Has each and every individual ever no longer gotten protecting while startled conscious via a bigger half yelling accusations at them? you have gotten woken him gently, suggested what befell replaced into nevertheless particularly bothering you, so which you prefer to talk approximately it, and then had a severe communicate approximately the two one in all you wanting to talk particularly of assuming the different one is supervising the toddler. speaking approximately a thank you to avert this from occurring interior the destiny, and what you the two ought to alter to ensure issues like this would possibly not take place back, could have been a lot greater powerful than a shouting experience.

Answer 6

I am having my son Christened in 3 weeks and I would honestly prefer that people give money for his trust fund. Or National Savings Bonds.

Or, when he was born the best present he got was a Terrmundi Money Pot. The pot is a way of saving money for the child and the tradition is to make a wish with the first coin. When the pot is full you smash it to get the money out and the wish comes true! It's a lovely idea.

We only have gold in ours and it's nearly full. Every time we get visitiors they put a £1 or more in and it holds £400 when full!!

I have since bought one for a friend and personalised it with her babies name, she loved it as she'd never heard of them b4.

A keepsake, most jewellers or argos do christening gifts, usually photo frames, money boxes, silver cutlery, that sort of thing. Or something he can keep, like a St Christopher or a Crucifix.

It's a little stool with the babe's name carved on one side and the date of birth on the other. This present was very well received and I have bought one for each of my 10 grandchildren, and also one for my husband with grandad written on it.
