A U.S. Savings Bond and something else that you can engrave with this special date. Perhaps a charm or crystal piece of sorts. I was going to suggest a Swiss army knife, but don't know if he would have the occasion to use it. Definitely something to commemorate the day. The savings bonds make great additions to birthday and holiday gifts and something the child will appreciate once old enough to cash them in, hopefully for college. They can be purchased at local banks or through the Treasury Dept. on-line.

I guess I don't really understand the question. You want to buy him something that is NOT silver. but you want to buy him something that IS appropriate and modern. How about a toy chest/wooden trunk? A nice banker's lamp or artwork for his room. He would still have any of these things years from now. Just being his godmother is a great gift, too.

A monagramed blanket.
Adopt a star for him
Something special that will mean a lot and not sit on a shelf something to cherish forever.

You can order a coin proof set from the US MInt, that will have new, uncirculated coinage from his birthyear, they come in a sealed plastic case. Savings bonds are always appropriate.

Premium bonds (you have to buy minimum £100 though). Or a nice keepsake box (for all his other Christening stuff?).
