When you are asked to be a Godparent, it is a great honour, but you are suddenly faced with having to find a suitable Christening gift. Here at Born Gifted, we offer a huge range of Christening and Baptism gifts, to suit any budget. Whether you are shopping for boy's Christening presents or a girl's christening present, you will be sure to find that special something!

Many Godparents choose something traditional, such as a pewter gift. Pewter cups gained popularity in the Victorian era, replacing the usual Christening gift of money. These were seen as something that a child could cherish for years to come. At Born Gifted, we offer an excellent range of pewter gifts, manufactured by the world famous Royal Selangor Company. One of our best selling gifts is a pewter tankard, from the 'Teddy Bears Picnic' range. Featuring a whimsical little bear sitting on the handle, it is beautifully presented in a velvet lined, branded wooden box.

If you would prefer a silver gift, a very popular item is our Engraved ABC Silver Plated Money Box. Each face of the cube features letters of the alphabet with a picture representation. The top of the money box can be engraved with 4 lines of up to 20 characters each. An exquisite choice is our Silver Zoo in a Box. Manufactured by Tales from the Earth, the hinged silver box contains four silver animals, each one representing your wishes for your Godchild. The wolf represents close family and friends, the elephant means longevity, the lion symbolizes courage, and the bear means wisdom. This gift is presented in a little pouch, with a card explaining the significance of each animal.

Some people opt for personalised Christening gifts that can be used from day to day. One of our best sellers is a hard backed personalised encyclopaedia. Featuring the child's name on the front cover, each page represents a letter from the name, and words that begin with that letter. It is beautifully illustrated throughout, and will be a lovely keepsake for your Godchild. Another personalised gift is our handmade Christening Plate. Featuring a child in prayer, and available in pink or blue, it includes the child's name, and date of Christening. To make this gift extra special, you can have your own personal message written on the back of the plate. Godmother Trinket Box is an ideal choice. In the shape of a heart, the lid of the box is inscribed with 'Godmother', and inside there is a small pewter heart with the words 'Thank You'. For the Godfather, our Engraved Godfather Glass Plaque is a reminder of his special place in a child's heart and life. Featuring a shooting star design, the plaque is engraved with a poem and the Godfather's name, and is presented in a silk-lined box.
