My friends are having their 1 year old boy christened soon, and I want to get a gift. However, they are flying in from a foreign country (where they now live) and so it can't be big or heavy. Also, I don't want to get some lame, useless silver spoon or whatever. They're pretty good friends of mine, so it will have to be something nice & memorable! Any ideas for something interesting or unusual?
Answer
You could get a nice baby Bible. My twins got one at their Christening and I read it to them often :) They also got a cross with their names engraved on them. I bought my daughter a cross necklace for when she gets older, and getting one for my son when I find one I like.
If you go to a Christain store, I'm sure you will find something or at least get more ideas

I was chosen to be the godmother for my friends baby boy. I need ideas for a gift for his christening.I hear a small gift made of silver is traditional??? I have never been to one before, they are Catholic. What to wear? Is a nice sweater, dress pants appropriate? Please help I'm a jeans and t shirt kind of girl! Thanks in advance!

my husband and i are catholic as well, and our babys baptism is this week, if theyre very traditional then yes something silver or engraved would be nice, or even practical things he may need, there really is no set standard for gifts, ive heard of people gifting beautiful blankets, getting the babys shoes coated in metal to save, part of the outfit ( like bib or shoes or what not) , or just regular old baby gifts ( bottles, clothes, toys etc.)
as for the outfit, think dressy. as if you were going to a job interview but not over the top.
nice dress pants and a sweater would be perfect, along with some nice shoes and a few accessories. also dont go to heavy with the make up, i did that to church once and i got some not so nice stares, keep it light. lol.
