We know the importance of finding special gifts for yearly occasions like Mother's Day and Christmas, but when it comes to events like Christenings, we spend an inordinate amount of time pondering what would make an appropriate gift. Luckily, we've got all the Christening gift inspiration you need.
In addition, there's also the challenge of commemorating the special day within a set budget. Then, of course, there are gifts for girls versus boys, a niece or nephew, godson or daughter - so it's a little bit of a minefield.
Traditional offerings like silver money boxes and photo frames feel a touch old-fashioned, but if you find yourself wondering what's the modern-day equivalent, we're here to help you find the best christening gift ideas that feel unusual and unique.
So, we have done the hard work and pulled together all the most special, unusual and chic gifts to bring a smile to both mum and baby’s faces. From personalised bunnies to moneyboxes, to more traditional personalised silver bracelets, we've got you covered with the best christening gift ideas.
