Luke was given a children's bible, a little sliver mug to be engraved, a necklace of saint, books, toys and clothes and a money box train with a first tooth and lock of hair carriages. Picture frames are money boxes are good. Farmers or stevens have a selection.]]> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 17:13:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=326355&title=christening#326355 <![CDATA[Christening??? : Michaela was given a couple of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=325981&title=christening#325981 Author: The_Stuarts

I got my girls bangles but I might get a charm bracelet or ID bracelet for Alyssa as the bangles are tiny so didn't last.
Photo frames or albums are good, you can write a special message inside an album cover.
Pacoes(sp) and farmers have a selection of silver money boxes or keepsake boxes and cute little ornaments for babies as well. ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:06:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=325972&title=christening#325972 <![CDATA[Christening??? : Our thing we tend to get for baby&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=325120&title=christening#325120 Author: mum2paris

Our thing we tend to get for baby's being christened is a silver rattle, you can get this engraved but we don't. Christies here in palmy has them, kinda a plastic round rattle with a silver heart shape in the middle that can spin, not too expensive, and the baby can actually use it.]]> Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:19:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=325120&title=christening#325120 <![CDATA[Christening??? : I&#039;ve been to two Catholic...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=325003&title=christening#325003 Author: fattartsrock

I've been to two Catholic christenings in recent times, and I bought a gold crucifix for one (a very very very dear friends daughter, so the $ was irrelevent) and a small baby size Rosary for the other. I would give a keepsake gift, a bangle, locket, cross, book, bible that sort of thing.]]> Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:17:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=325003&title=christening#325003 <![CDATA[Christening??? : Tom got rosary beads from his...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324981&title=christening#324981 Author: peanut butter

Tom got rosary beads from his godmother, a story book from someone I dont even know and some letters spelling his name for his door and a picture frame. Nothing too traditional apartfrom the rosary beads]]> Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:58:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324981&title=christening#324981 <![CDATA[Christening??? : My friend bought his nephew a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324966&title=christening#324966 Author: lizzle

We've had our girls dedicated (not christened but similar ceremony) and didn't get anything. You can always go with clothing if you really want to buy something.]]> Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:11:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324946&title=christening#324946 <![CDATA[Christening??? : For Ella baptism presents we got...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324931&title=christening#324931 Author: Mum2ET

For Ella baptism presents we got were....photo frames, money boxes (heaps of them), necklaces, kids cultery set, wooden rattle, picture for her wall (that's all I can think of at the moment).

like the idea of a book with a message written inside...

I think it is "traditional" to give something the child can keep.
I know I got given an engraved brooch and an opal necklace for mine.
Depends how much your friend wants to spend and how close she is to the child I guess?
Maybe a nice hardcover book with a special message she wrote inside?]]> Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:40:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324919&title=christening#324919 <![CDATA[Christening??? : What does someone give as a gift...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15280&PID=324916&title=christening#324916 Author: mummy_becks
