Christening Presents & Christening Gifts

This is a rather unique christening present idea – a historic newspaper! Many people give these presents as a physical reminder about how special and wonderful the christening ceremony is.

Perfect for the child:

• whom you wish to teach about history
• whose parents appreciate tradition
• who you want to celebrate with a one of a kind gift they will keep their entire life

No matter what date you’re celebrating (even if you are giving a belated christening present) Historic Newspapers has what you need. They have the UK’s largest newspaper archive dating all the way back to 1685 so you are sure to find the date you need from everywhere in the UK.

All of the newspaper gifts can even be personalised. These are truly excellent christening presents that will stand the test of time.

Giving a gift of aged Bordeaux wine is a fabulous choice. When the child comes of age, it is a one of a kind experience to toast with the wine you bought them almost two decades ago.

This present takes it a step further and includes both a bottle of Chateau Limothe-Cissac Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 2001 and a broadsheet newspaper copy from the christening day.

The wine itself is an excellent vintage – this is a special ‘Cuvee’ and produced during a highly favored growing season. It is made from highly flavoured grapes from the established part of the vineyard.

Also included are a personalised gift card and vintage summary of the wine.

If you’re looking to give a truly stand-out gift, this is it.

A gorgeous, classic gift for a baby!

Beatitudes Cross christening spoons are available online in two different Christian designs from http://www.beatitudescross.com.

Just to make sure the child is safe – The Beatitudes Cross christening spoon is not a toy and should not be given to children under 36 months to play with as small parts may present a choking hazard. This is an ornamental item and is not intended for practical use.

Who wouldn’t want to be on the cover of a magazine. Just imagine the look on people’s faces when they see this after the christening!

Using information about the christening (date, names, gender, venue, etc) and a “front page” piccy, you will get you own personalised one of a kind edition of “Hiyah!” The look is spot on.

The cover is high gloss and suitable for framing. This will be the most memorable present the child gets – and just think about when they are old enough to read! You can tell them about the time they were on the cover.

This is a truly unique personalised gift for many special occasions, including a Christening!

This Framed Name Print features the child’s first name.  Each letter is beautifully illustrated with an image matching the letter.  For example a pair of kites behind the K, a camel behind the C and so on.  Beneath each letter is the dictionary definition for each image- so it also makes an excellent learning tool for young children!

At the bottom of the image the meaning and origin of the child’s name is also featured.  Other personal messages may also be included in the bottom – such as date of Christening, a personal message from the gift giver, etc.

The print is finished with a handcrafted wooden frame.

If you want to give the most unique christening present available, look no further. With this exciting “Name a Star” kit, you are literally giving the child a star!

You name the star and provide the date of christening, and the info is entered into the Universal Star Listing database. Since no star can be named twice, the name you choose such as “Little William’s Star” is the actual name.

This kit contains a wall map of all the constellations, instructions on how to find your star, a beginner’s guide to astronomy, an official certificate of registration, and a special star market to mark the child’s star.

Imagine – sitting down with your godchild and pointing out the star you bought for them. Truly priceless.

This is a modern twist on the classic silver spoon and pusher tradition. While those are indeed very conservative gifts steeped in tradition, if you’re looking for the new way of doing it look no more. This 3 piece cutlery set will please you.

The cutlery itself is stainless steel and comes with a knife, spoon and fork. Very cool and cute characters are printed on the utensils – spacemen, cowboy and pirate for boys, or indian princess, fairy and mermaid for girls.

Viners makes high quality goods so you know this will last.

To make it even nicer, you can get the child’s name engraved on the handle. This is truly a modern twist on a very classic christening present.

A perfect gift for many occasions, including giving it as a christening present.

This Personal History Chart gives over 60 facts intriguing facts about that most important day in everyone’s life, the day they were born!

Each personalised chart shows a Biography, Sensual Characteristics, Virtues, World News, Leaders of the Time, Cost of Living, Entertainment and Sporting Moments for that special day in history. This is a unique gift that can be passed down through generations.

Charts are A4 in size and it is in a pretty bevel cut mount to make this keepsake last a lifetime and beyond.

It’s fun to give unique christening gifts, but buying for boys can be hard. But now we have chosen the best christening presents for boys. Here are five cool gifts your godson or child will like:

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 a personalised whisky 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.

Name A Star In His Honour

This is one of the most unique boys christening presents we have! You actually get to name a real star listed in the Intergalactic Star Database after the boy being christened. When you do this you fill out a form to receive a certified personalised certificate of registry. This present is sure to stand out in the boy’s mind forever.

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.

Framed Name Plaque

One of our best selling christening presents for boys. Many people buy this because it can be used for many years. At first in the child’s nursery, then in their bedroom.

These personalised framed name prints are beautifully illustrated and can be personalised with any details you would like.

A guaranteed champ.

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?
