Guest Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Hello, my niece is being dedicated (sort of Christening) in a couple of weeks and I wanted to get her a nice gift. I know that a lot of people will be there and I am guessing they'll all the get the usual Christening gifts. I'm trying to think of something a bit different. Any ideas would be very welcome! Hope you can help Vicki Edited February 25, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 two of the more unusual ones ive come across were naming a star after the child and bying shares for when they are older! give me an idea of money and i can probably think of a few more!

AnonyMouse_33615 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I always think plants are a nice idea. I once gave a rose to a friend's daughter which had the same name as her, Jessica. I think there is an RHS site which gives you all plants, fruit trees etc with a particular name. All depends on whether her name is a common one or not though!

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 or something you can add to each year , troll beads we have a local shop which sells these and have seen similar ideas... the modern charm bracelet or necklace perhaps.. our son had a proof set of coins from the year of his birth, and half a sovereign or as a cheaper alternative you can get presentation sets of coins for year of birth.

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 When one of my friend's daughters was having her first communion last year, along with a small gift we gave her, we found a lovely treasure box for her to keep all the things people gave her, such as cards and the "order of service" etc. might you be able to find something in a gift shop with the child's name on it or beautifully decorated for her keepsakes. The box we bought would be big enough to keep many small things that one collects as "firsts" over the coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thank you for all your lovely ideas, they have given me plenty to think about! Not sure which one to go with yet! Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed today that one of our local shops, possibly Ernest Jones, had Disney beads bracelet like this, rather cute I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
