christening gift idea help needed!!

HELP!!

We are going to a christening tomorrow, and I have no idea what to buy as a gift...

Its a little boy, and we know the parents through our NCT ante-natal course, so I don't want to spend too much (probably about £10-£15), but have NO idea what to get!!!

anyone have any ideas?!?!?

Thanks

Liz

I think most card shops have little christening gifts in. you could maybes go and see what theyve got?

I like the clay foot casts or handprint casts. If you have no time to go out and buy something just put a tenner in a card then they can put it in their child trust fund or something.

some traditional Christening gifts include:

rosary beads
children's prayer book
silver plated first tooth & curl box
silver plated baby money box (piggy bank)
silver plated little spoon in a box
silver plated tube thinggy to put baby's birth and baptism certificates in

or there's always money of course, or something more practical, like bibs or whatever, or a small toy.
