You could give a music box with an angel holding a child.

I would say that a $100 savings bond is PERFECT!! This way the child will receive $100 in the future and you only need to lay out $50. This is a great way to build a child's savings at a young age, especially since colleges in the future will probably skyrocket.

You can never go wrong with $ or a $100 bond. Some gifts that i've given for christenings are: a really nice picture frame, a sterling silver piggy bank with $ in it, an icon for his/her bedroom, a nice photo album. Good luck!

I usually give a savings bond, in this case I would probably say $100 I think it would be adequate.

A savings bond is great idea,
$100 is appropriate for you since you are not the god parents.

i was going to suggest something religious (like a cross necklace, or bible, something along those lines), but a saving bond is a good idea too-whatever you can afford.......i'm just thinking when the baby gets older it might be nice for the parents to be able to say "this is the necklace you got when you were christened from soandso", rather than "here's your christening bond"

I purely had my daughter baptized/christened as properly. normally you provide funds. purely because of the fact it is not a birthday, it is not a sprint one bathe, that's a christening. Kinda like a marriage reception because of the fact the kin normally orders foodstuff and stuff. So funds will bypass the two in direction of the value of the foodstuff or to a pair form of decrease value costs accoutn for the toddler. we are beginning her first decrease value costs account! that's what we are doing with the $255 (canadian money) we are doing with it! wish this facilitates!
