We have a huge selection of christening gifts for girls for you to gander through and we guarantee you'll find that perfect gift for the occasion. The christening of a child is a very important, momentous occasion for the baby and parents alike. It's an opportunity for the parents to thank god for their little princess, officially 'name' their daughter in the eyes of god and begin the little girls journey of faith. A christening entails a church service and then usually a full day of celebration with a gathering of family and friends to enjoy the day together and coo over the baby girl. A great way to mark the special day is with the giving of christening gifts to the little girl and her parents. Finding the right gift needn't be difficult; we can take the stress out of finding girls christening gifts so whatever your budget or whatever your needs we have lots and lots of gifts to choose from. Phew - we've got it covered!
Traditionally, baptism gifts for girls are either cute, pretty 'pink' gifts or classic silver keepsakes to represent the importance of the occasion. A good way of choosing christening presents that a girl would love and appreciate is to consider the parents tastes and styles. If you know the parents are traditional types, then it might be a wise choice to choose a traditional christening present. However, you might want to send an extravagant silver gift if you're family, close friends or a godparent, as they're more likely to be kept as special mementos and there are only so many christening silver trinkets one baby needs! If you're a casual friend, don't feel under pressure to bestow flashy girls christening gifts on a baby you'll probably only rarely see! Remember, it's the thought that counts so best to stick with a simple pink gift such as a cute teddy bear. The little girl will love her little cuddly friend and the parents will appreciate the kind gesture.
For the contemporary family, give christening gifts for girls that are more modern or in line with the family's interests and passions. Foody-families will appreciate a cute bib or cutlery for their little girl to use at dinnertime. Snap-happy families will love a new, funky photo frame to display treasured photographs of the little cherub. Or for music-mad families, an interactive musical toy is a great way to enthuse their baby girl and get her started early! Modern families certainly give you a little more choice when choosing christening gifts for girls, as you can be more creative and buy something that's both useful and practical for baby and parent.
Personalised christening gifts are a great, unique idea for both 'traditional' and 'modern' families. You can give a classic church plate with the little darling's name and the date of her christening on or engrave a traditional silver trinket or piece of jewellery as a lovely keepsake. For a contemporary alternative you could write a meaningful quote or poem on a gift of your choice, such as a picture frame, memory box or a story book.
Buying baby girl christening gifts that relates to the day she was born on is a fun creative way to choose your present. You can do the same for christening gifts for boys too! Follow the traditional 'Monday's Child' poem and you include the line relevant to the little girly in her card - the extra thought will undoubtedly impress the parents no end!
"Monday's child is fair of face", so a silver mirror and hairbrush to keep her looking her best is a lovely idea and you can have it engraved with the line from the poem to make an extra special keepsake. "Tuesday's child is full of grace", so start her inevitable love of jewellery early on with a pretty engraved piece that she can cherish forever. Poor little "Wednesday's child is full of woe", so perhaps give a nice blanket to comfort her when she's sad or tired - she'll be asleep in no time with a super soft spread. "Thursday's child has far to go", so choose a sentimental christening gift that a girl can use to accompany her on her journey through life. One example is a special bag of charms that will guide her through love, offer luck and give her inner peace and happiness - perfect! "Friday's child is loving and giving", so a cute and cuddly teddy bear friend that she can love and adore would be a lovely gesture. "Saturday's child works hard for a living", so a super special personalised storybook with her name as the lead character is something that she can enjoy and learn from. "And the child that is born on the Sabbath Day is bonny and blithe and good and gay", so treat her to a sentimental memory box full of special mementos from her christening day.
