Christenings aren’t the same as weddings, in that the parents don’t usually have a gift list of things they would like to receive for their baby. However, as a guest at a christening, you will probably want to buy the parents and the baby something special to remember their special day. Here is a brief guide to buying the perfect gift:

• Clothes will always go down well. New babies as messy and can never have enough outfits. There are some really cute outfits you can buy as well, which will be really appreciated.
• Think about getting something with the date on it. This is a lovely way to commemorate the day and to remember it. This could be an ornament, a toy for the child or a food item.
• People love spoiling babies and getting them new toys. If you want to get the family something really special, think about a play mat or walker.
