My husband has been asked to be a godparent and we've been racking our brains trying to come up with a nice Christening gift. We don't particularly want to go down the 'solid silver tankard/money box/ etc' route because it doesn't especially appeal to us - we'd rather get something more practically useful, but with a bit of longevity (so not, eg, a set of baby grows or something).
And the parents aren't especially religious, so not too sure about getting a bible/cross/etc.
But it has to be a bit special, because he is her godfather.
So far I've come up with one of those nice breakfast sets you can get for kids, with Peter Rabbit or Winnie the Pooh or something on - should be useful, should get used, she'll probably like it when she's a bit older...
Can anyone think of anything better? Thanks in advance!
