Gift set overview
A christening gift set gathers two or three pieces that belong together — usually a keepsake item, something practical for the day, and a small card or note. The appeal is in the editing: rather than one large present, the set tells a little story when it is opened.
Keepsake gift ideas
- A small silver-tone photo frame to hold a christening day photo.
- A simple wooden keepsake box for cards, locks of hair and the candle.
- A children's book inscribed on the inside cover.
- A soft blanket folded around the other pieces.
Personalisation ideas
- The baby's name and christening date engraved or printed on the keepsake.
- A short blessing or family quote on the inside of a book.
- Initials embroidered onto a blanket or muslin.
Baby and family gift suggestions
Christenings often bring extended family together, so it is worth thinking about parents and siblings too. A small bunch of flowers for the mother, or a colouring book for an older sibling, takes very little effort but is remembered.
