Personalised Christening Gifts

Christenings are traditional, religious ceremonies, but they are also joyful days that celebrate the start of a newborn’s journey through life. While new baby gifts are intended to welcome boys and girls into the world, christening gifts are designed as keepsakes for their first tentative, metaphoric steps into the big, wide world and are usually treasured just as much as newborn gifts.

What Is The Difference Between A Baptism & Christening?

Christenings are traditional, religious ceremonies, but they are also joyful days that celebrate the start of a newborn’s journey through life. Christenings are traditional, religious ceremonies, but they are also happy days that celebrate the start of a newborn’s journey through life. Christening refers to the naming ceremony (to "christen" means to "give a name to") whereas baptism is one of seven sacraments in the Catholic Church. In the sacrament of Baptism the baby's name is used and mentioned, however, it is the rite of claiming the child for Christ and his Church that is celebrated.

Christening gifts are designed as keepsakes for their first tentative, metaphoric steps into the big, wide world and are usually treasured just as much as newborn gifts. It isn’t just the child who is on the receiving end of christening presents, though; we also stock unique christening gifts for godparents that recognise the special part they have agreed to play in the child’s life.

A godparent is someone who partakes in a baby’s baptism, is chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child’s upbringing and tasked with ‘being there’ should anything happen to the parents. It is, therefore, an incredibly important role and is usually recognised as such during a christening by the giving of gifts to godmothers or godfathers from the child’s parents.

Traditionally, Christian children usually have three godparents in total, though they can have as many as the parents want. Girls often have two godmothers and one godfather while boys will usually have two godfathers and one godmother but there are no hard and fast rules nowadays.

Godparents can be family members or friends, but the part they play in the christening or baptism is a key one and recognising their on-going presence in the child’s life has become a common practice among new parents.
