Baby Christening Gifts from Godparents<\/h2>\n

If you have been designated as a godparent for the child, your gift needs to be something special and unique to commemorate the beginning of a new, special relationship between the two of you. Consider giving your new godchild:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Jewelry<\/li>\n
  • Baptism keepsake box<\/li>\n
  • Hope chest<\/li>\n
  • Framed picture of the two of your together<\/li>\n
  • Heirloom watch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Whatever gift you choose, consider getting it engraved to make it more personalized.<\/p>\n

    In addition to the solemn token that will be more appreciated by your godchild later in life, it’s a nice gesture for godparents to give a childlike gift as well. A soft plush lamb and a book of children’s prayers that can be read later are good choices for a baby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
