Gifts for Christenings or new babys
A new baby is a celebration of life. You may find you are
invited to a traditional chuch christening where a ceremony with
god parents who take an oat to protect and teach will be
undertaken. Alternatively you could have been invited to a
naming ceremony a less religious ceremony which celebrates the
birth of a baby and welcomg them into the family unit.
Here are the top gifts to buy for a new born baby:
Silver Jug engraved with their Name, Date of Birth & Your
Message and names Silver Hand Braclet Silver Charm Braclet,
normally given by godparents where you buy a new charm every
year of their life Delicate blanket, usually made from fine
cotton and lace Hand/Foot Casting kit; these allow parents to
take a casting of their childs foot or hand in a copper or
bronze finish. A traditional keep sake. Baby Album, which allows
parents to take notes of their childs development Photo frames

Now i will let you into my perfect baby gift. I normally get a
personalised gift, a wooden picture frame which inside i have a
thick piece of white card which i have written the following
poem on:
Sometimes I might upset you Just because I'm small By leaving
fingerprints of mine~ On a table, chair, or wall.
But everyday I grow a bit And I'll be big one day When all my
tiny fingerprints Have long been cleaned away.
So keep these prints of my hands, To help you recall Just how
big my fingers were That time when I was small
Once you have written this leave a little room for some baby
hand prints whic the parents can print later. Then buy some baby
paints Blue, yellow, red & rreen work well. This means you have
given them all they need to finish the present.
