Keepsakes from the christening day

A christening gift is usually chosen to be kept rather than used up. The cross on the shelf, the money box with the date on it and the teddy in its christening jumper are the kind of things a child can find again years later and ask about.

Every gift on this page is personalised and made to order with the name, date or message you choose. Many designs have room for the church and the date as well as the name, and each product page sets out exactly how many lines and characters it takes, so you know what the finished gift will say before you order.

Choosing a christening gift

Christening crosses and stars

The standing wooden crosses are made for the day itself. The Christening Cross Plaque has up to ten lines, all in capitals, with the main name in large gold capitals across the arms, enough for the name, date, church and a short blessing. The Noah's Ark cross adds a colourful ark at the foot, and the Botanical cross has green leaves and a name in a flowing script. Each stands about 13.5 x 18.2cm on a shelf or mantelpiece. The On Your Christening wooden star hangs from a ribbon instead, with four lines for the details.

Money boxes and clocks

A money box keeps going long after the day, which is why it is such a traditional christening present. The Silver Noah's Ark money box is nickel-plated with three lines on its roof, the Carousel money box is silver-plated with two lines around the base, and most of the ABC money boxes, including a Cross design, take three engraved lines below the coin slot. As one customer wrote of the Noah's Ark money box, 'Excellent quality with gorgeous animals at both ends of the ark' (customer review). For the nursery wall, the Church Boys and Whimsical Church clocks carry the name above the words 'on your christening'. They are wooden, about 25cm square, and take one AA battery, which is not included.

Christening teddy bears

The On Your Christening and Christening Wreath teddies wear the details of the day on their jumpers, and the Me to You Botanical bear has three lines on its T-shirt. These bears are suitable for children aged 36 months and over, so for a baby they are a keepsake for the shelf until the child is older.

Getting the wording right

Some designs print everything in capitals, and others print the text exactly as you type it and ask you to avoid block capitals because the script is hard to read. The note on each product page tells you which, so it is worth checking the spelling of the name, the date and the church before you add the gift to your basket. More name gifts for babies are on the personalised baby gifts page.

Christening Gifts: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good christening gift?

Something that will be kept. A standing wooden cross, an engraved money box or a nursery clock with the child's name on it stays on a shelf or wall long after the day, and many of the designs here also have room for the date and the church. A christening teddy is a softer choice, kept as a keepsake until the child is old enough for it. Prices on this page start at under £10.
What can I have written on a personalised christening gift?

It depends on the design, and each product page lists its limits. The christening clocks take a name of up to 12 characters. The Silver Noah's Ark money box takes three lines of up to 20 characters, for example 'On Your Christening', the name and the date. The standing crosses take between eight and ten short lines, enough for the name, the date, the church and a short blessing.
Are the christening teddy bears suitable for babies?

Not as toys for a baby to play with. The christening teddies are marked as suitable for children aged 36 months and over, so check the age guidance on each product page before you choose. As a christening gift, a personalised bear can be put away on a shelf as a keepsake until the child is old enough to have it. The personalised grey bunnies on this page are different: they are marked as suitable from birth.
How long does a personalised christening gift take to arrive?

Each gift is made to order once you have added the personalisation, and then sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24, so please allow 2 to 5 business days in total. Orders placed after midday, or at the weekend, start from the next working day. If the christening is coming up soon, it is worth ordering with a few days to spare.
What happens if the personalisation is wrong or the gift arrives damaged?

Because every gift is personalised and made to order, it can't be returned for a change of mind. If it arrives faulty or damaged, or the personalisation isn't what you ordered, please get in touch and we'll put it right. Our returns policy has the details. Before you order, check the spelling and the capitals, as many designs print the text exactly as entered.
