When the newborn baby arrives, parents have already sorted straight through a house full of diapers, jumpers, Moses Baskets, lacy socks, soothers and just an fullness of every day baby essentials and adorable little baby gifts. Now it is time for the Christening, one of the most prominent occasions in the life of a baby. This is when you truly want to buy baby christening gifts that are memorable and hold a special importance because at this time, the newborn is given a name and formally becomes a part of the whole community.
Choose White and Silver Baby Gifts
Baby Diapers
Traditionally, baby christening gifts are white, and the metal is silver; white gown, white blanket, often bonnets, and of course those gorgeous lacy socks and silver baby jewelry. White represents the lucidity of this precious little baby who has just come into being. Like the canvas ready for a masterpiece, the white clothing is just waiting for the gorgeous splashes of color and strokes of the paint brush that are the accomplishments and adventures of the baby's life to come. Silver also represents the pure and perfect nature of the baby and is a perfect complement to the white. Any message engraved on silver itself becomes a blessing and prayer for the life of the newborn.
Christening Blankets
A truly lovely christening blanket is included in a personalized set I found with a knitted white shawl blanket, a bib, and a little white teddy bear. The shawl, which measures 30 inches by 36 inches, can be embroidered in a gorgeous hand script with the name of the baby and your option of whether the date of birth or the Christening. This set is perfect for baby christening gifts because Mommy will want to cherish the personalized blanket and pass it on to her precious baby as one of the more endearing and memorable baby gifts.
Baptism Certificates
Part of the tradition of Christening is to receive a certificate for the baptism. This is usually a piece of paper that is stored away in baby's prominent papers file in a filing cabinet drawer and not seen again. Now, these certificates can become precious and memorable baby gifts that are displayed in the nursery and make wonderfully attractive kids wall art. These unique baby christening gifts are white, 6 inch x 8 inch, heat-sealed clay tiles personalized for free with traditional artwork. A white lamb adorns the tile which gives a blessing for the newborn and carries the name and date of the baptism.
Personalized Baby Jewelry
Another very unique idea for baby christening gifts is to gift Mommy and baby both with personalized silver charm necklaces. One of my favorites has two tiny and delicate .5 inch silver charms; one with baby feet imprinted and the other with the baby's name engraved, and accented with a little Swarovski birth month stone crystal. These baby gifts are loved most especially by new moms and will remind her for always of how tiny and precious her baby was.
