Our special selection of gifts for a christening
- Ceremonial or christening suit
It is normally the parents who choose what the baby wears for the christening, but if you feel like giving them something really special you could talk to the parents about it. When it comes to choosing the style, keep their tastes in mind. You could go for the most classical option with a hood and dress with lace and velvet details, or other ideas with a more casual look, such as a romper suit and matching coat in the same colour. This could also be worn on other occasions.
- A soft blanket
This is a very versatile gift, as it is ideal for both the baby’s cot and to keep them warm on a cold winter’s day. When choosing the blanket, it’s best to select soft and warm materials, which don’t irritate the delicate skin of the baby. In our childcare section you will find classical designs in cream, pink and chalk blue, and other more avant-garde ideas, made of fur or lined with sheepskin.
