  • A customisable and personalized gift. This baby is unique, their story is unlike any other, so they need gifts just for them!

When it comes to christening gifts, there are no rules strictly speaking but rather traditions. Thus, it is customary that the godfather and godmother offer something sacred. It does not necessarily have to be a religious momentum, after all, maybe they want a gift without religious connotations, even if the ceremony takes place in church. As for presents from guests, it is customary for traditional baptismal gifts and valuable ones to be given by family members or very close friends. The other guests are free to offer whatever they want. So what ideas can we think of that are just right for the baby?
