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.
