Christenings are a special occasion fundamentally about welcoming a child into the Christian faith and the celebration often sees family and friends coming together to celebrate.
If you have been invited to a Christening you may be wondering whether it is customary for guests to buy Christening presents for the child and if so, what type of gifts are appropriate. Although there is no rule that says you have to, generally most people will bring something to give the child to mark the occasion.
Unlike birthdays, toys aren't normally considered for baby Christening gifts and instead, special items that can be held onto as keepsakes such as jewellery, decorative items and books are given instead. With this in mind, we have put together a list of Disney Christening gifts that are sure to be perfect for the occasion.
For more gift ideas, take a look at these Disney gifts for kids of all ages or these baby bracelets that you will want to cherish forever.
This four piece ceramic set is from Disney's Magical Beginnings range and includes a plate with a classic Dumbo illustration, a bowl with Bambi depicted in the centre, an egg cup with Thumper on it and a double handled mug featuring Pinocchio. Even once the child who receives this gets older, they can still use it with fondness.
This cute height chart can be hung in a nursery or child's bedroom and be used to watch them grow from a toddler to teen. It features lovely Bambi illustrations and 10cm height increments are printed along the right hand side. As it is made from a thick paper material, parents can even mark their child's height on it each year to make it a wonderful keepsake.
An ideal present for a baby girl that won't break the bank, this hanging heart plaque would make a great decorative keepsake for their nursery. It features Marie from 'The Aristocats' sleeping soundly on a pink cushion along with the words 'a little princess sleeps here' in gold glitter writing.
Jewellery is quite a common gift for Christenings, especially for girls and this sterling silver bracelet is sure to make the perfect gift for such a special occasion for grandparents or godparents to give. It is decorated with Bambi and Thumper details and is engraved with the phrase 'dream big little one'. Even once the child outgrows the jewellery, it can be kept forever as a memento of the day.
If you are searching for Christening presents for boys, this lovely keepsake box is a great option. It is decorated in sky blue spot and stripe patterns and has iconic character Mickey Mouse in full colour on the lid as well as the phrase 'handsome baby boy' in gold glitter writing. There is space for a 6" x 4" photo on the top and the box itself has a base storage area and well as a keepsake tray. Over the years, it can be used to keep special mementoes and memories such as drawings, achievements, cards, their first pair of shoes and more.
As girls and boys Christening gifts go, this one is small but special. It has baby Mickey on the top with blue accents and is designed as a container to keep the child's milk teeth or other small mementoes such as a lock of hair. It comes in a gift box and would also be ideal for a baby shower or Baptism gift as well.
Whilst toys aren't normally considered appropriate gifts, the fact that this one can be personalised means it makes a fantastic choice as a decorative item or as a comforting friend that the child will keep long into adulthood. The teddy has adorable Dumbo details including a felt feather attached to his trunk, small yellow hat and his signature large ears. It is suitable for a child to have from birth and is quite large at 31cm in height, 19cm in depth and 47cm in width. Reviews say it is incredibly soft and squishy which makes it great for cuddles.
Another option from the Magical Beginnings range, the cover features 'Lion King' characters Simba, Nala and Zazu, and the wording 'life's an adventure' in gold glitter writing with a complementing gold ribbon to tie the album shut. There are enough pockets to fit 50 standard sized photographs so that the album can be filled with plenty of wonderful memories to look back on. Inside, there is also an 'about me' page where details of the child including name, birth details, height, weight and first visitors can all be recorded.
Christening frames are quite a traditional gift as they can be treasured for a long time and be something to look back on. This gorgeous white frame has four Winnie The Pooh illustrations on the mounting card and designated space for photos of the child at birth and the first 11 months of their life as well as a larger gap for a picture from their first birthday. So that the frame never looks empty, each space has a beautiful Winnie the Pooh character illustration that can be seen until a photo is put in place. The frame has an arm so that it can be placed on a desk, sideboard or shelf but also has a hook so that it can be wall mounted anywhere in the home.
Traditionally, silver was seen as a good gift for a new baby as it symbolised their independence once they got older. This custom originates from the Tudor and then the Victorian period as silver had value as a currency. As a result of this, Christening gifts from Godparents were often items made from silver such as rattles, cutlery and coins. If you are searching for Disney gifts you can give your Godchild on their Christening day that upholds this tradition, then this set of silver plated keepsake boxes could be a perfect choice. One box is designed to keep the child's first curl and has Winnie The Pooh on the lid. The other box is for their first tooth and has Tigger sitting on the lid. Each keepsake box measures three centimetres in height, eight centimetres in length and 137mm in width. These Godparents gifts come in a fabric pouch inside a presentation box to keep them safe and add that extra special touch.
