Perhaps you have heard that many people give non-traditional items as christening presents. Something that many people are now doing is giving some sort of investment to the newly christening child. Be it in the form of a savings account, registered bond, or stock certificates, giving investments as christening presents is a good idea.

For starters, these are gifts that truly appreciate in value. While a silver cup is nice, it will not be worth more later on. Same with a baby present or boook.

Investments make for very unique christening presents because they are so useful. What child would not want money later on? It also shows you have the child’s interest at heart. Consider this article where 26% of Brits will give stocks as Christmas presents.

How does this work? Due to compound interest, the savings account you set up will continue to make money by earning interest every year for the child. When they reach the age to go to university or buy a house, there will be more money for them then when you first gave it. It’s really amazing!

The exact specifics of how to do this depend on where you live. Talking to an investment company or a trusted accountant is a good idea. Don’t be scared though - it can be done very easily, and is sure to be one of the most cherished christening presents the child gets.

It’s fun to give unique christening gifts, but buying for boys can be hard. Here are five cool gifts your godson or child will like:

Silver Dog Tags

Silver is a traditional christening gift and many people like to uphold that tradition. Instead of getting a silver spoon though, try a silver set of dog-tags. You can find them in minature size at some stores online, or a full size set could work too. These make unique christening presents for boys and will definitely be remembered, and can easily be personalised.

Treasure Box Time Capsule

Include some photos of him as a child, a copy of the day’s newspaper, maybe even a copy of a popular child’s DVD from that year. It will be very fun to open up when he turns 18 to see this stuff. Can you image finding all this memorabilia from your christening almost two decades later?

Personalised Money Box or Piggy Bank

Instead of just giving a piggy bank, look for a masculine version. Some popular designs include trains, construction machinery, or sports equipment. These can also be personalised and you know the child will use it

A Drink

No, he doesn’t get it now! You can buy a bottle of scotch, port or wine with a newspaper from the date of his christening. Recent vintages are very affordable and make interesting christening presents for boys. His parents can hold onto it until he comes of age.

Present a Savings Account

A very common trend nowadays is to get a savings account in the child’s name. You can also purchase investments like bonds or stocks to appreciate for the child, and they are held in trust until he comes of age. This sort of present is one of the most useful christening presents for boys you can give.

This video presents an overview of traditional christening presents. Like in this previous article, it focuses on it from the godparents point of view.

When faced with the decision of what type of christening presents to give, godparents might get confused as to how traditional or modern the gift should be. As we wrote about the traditional side before in the article Traditional Christening Presents From Godparents we will focus on the more modern option today.

First off, what do we mean by a modern christening present? To some it would mean a breaking of tradition and not getting a silver spoon or pusher, to others it might mean getting a very unconventional gift. There is no real wrong answer here!

The past two decades has seen the decline of the mindset that christening presents must be silver baby rattles, and the rise of giving a more useful or meaningful gift. It is so much easier today to keep in contact with a godchild via the phone or emails so relationships between the two are stronger. The highly symbolic nature of silver spoons is no longer as needed for some people.

* For Starters: Think about the family who will raise the child since they will be imparting some activities and preferences onto the child. If they are avid sportsmen or into stalking game, perhaps an outdoorsy type gift would be a good fit?

* Full of Memories: Memory boxes can make a nice gift. Inside you can put pictures of the child and parents/godparents, along with memorabilia from the christening ceremony.

* Coming of Age: If you think it’s appropriate, some people buy a bottle of port or wine with a vintage year of the christening. When the child comes of age they will have a well aged present.

* Grow Into It: Have you thought about giving a promise to buy the child a nice pair of shoes or business suit? Instead of giving a baby outfit that will last 6 months, a nice outfit bought 18 years later can last at least 6 years and help the child with his job hunting.

These are just some examples of modern christening presents.
