ideas please for christening present

[lettuce]

i have me new nephew's christening coming up in december, he's the first boy in the family for donkey's years, and i don't know what to give for a christening present!
any suggestions? please??

Bangle with his name on, special dinner set with name on, first cutlery set with name on, Little trinket boxes with my first tooth etc

How about a very special toy, between my two daughters we have 10 silver money boxes, 3 china moneyboxes, 4 tooth boxes and 5 bangles. Dont wont to appear ungrateful but I would rather that people didnt buy us anything rather that have a box of presents thats just going in the loft.

I bought my god daughter (who was 4) a lovely fairy china doll. My dh went in with some work colleagues and bought a bottle of wine to lay down for a colleagues son when he got christenend.

I am going to a friends sons christening this weekend and a group of us have clubbed together to buy him a mamas & papas rocking snail (has a seat on it)

silver photo frame?

My favourite christening gift was a wooden stool with my dd's name and date of birth carved into it. The other thing I loved was a Peter Rabbit cup and bowl.

Beatrix Potter book - you can get one with all the tales in it - dd got one for her christening it is lovely and something that she will be able to use for years to come.
Another really good present was a fab height chart for the back of her bedroom door - again something that will be used

oh yes, Beatrix Potter, definitely

do you need one of these?
