Christening Gifts FAQs
What are the best personalised Christening gifts?
A thoughtful Christening gift is usually something meaningful, lasting and family-focused. Personalised keepsakes, luxury blankets, or beautifully made wooden toys. The aim is to give something the child can treasure as they grow.
Do Christening gifts have to be religious?
Not at all. While some families appreciate traditional religious gifts, many prefer timeless keepsakes, personalised pieces or practical items. Anything meaningful, high-quality and appropriate for the day is perfectly suitable.
Can you give a practical Christening gift?
Yes! Practical gifts are often the ones parents appreciate most. A soft organic blanket or natural baby brush will be reached for day after day.
How early should you order a personalised Christening gift?
It’s best to order at least a week before the Christening so there’s time for personalisation and delivery. That said, we get to work personalising your gift as soon as you order and send it by fast delivery straight away.
