subject: Christening Gifts Every Parent Would Be Proud Of [print this page] The day of their child's christening should be one of the proudest days of a parent's life, right up there with graduations, first jobs and, of course, wedding days. In fact, much of the pride a parent feels at their child's christening is due in part to the future joys and achievements they anticipate for their child in the many years yet to come. From first loves to heartaches, budding careers and children of their own, the day a child is christened marks them with all the potential their long and winding lives have to offer.
Of course, the significance of a child's christening isn't always readily apparent on the day. Whilst parents and guests sit and beam at the new life unfolding before them, Baby is no doubt doing as all babies are apt to do when it is critical that they behave; that is, misbehaving. Attempting to keep Baby subdued while you dress him up in fussy frills, parade him around in front of cooing aunts and curious siblings and wet his little head - for no apparent reason - would be similar to imitating Moses trying to hold back the Red Sea. Eventually, it's all going to come crashing down again and Baby, hard as he tried, is going to kick up a fuss.
It can be hard to juggle family, ceremony and a young child and come out smiling on the other side. This is why sentimental, heartfelt christening gifts are essential to remind each and every parent of exactly what the day is intended to signify for both themselves and their child. Excellent christening gifts will have true staying power and will stand the test of time so that, come graduations or wedding days, parents can look back at that day which set their child's life in motion and remember it fondly.
Luckily for you, manufacturers of christening gifts appear to have cottoned on to the notion that christenings are not always, in practice, the humble, reflective affairs that they should be and have designed their gifts accordingly. Many christening gifts centre around the themes of the day - new life beginning and the persistence of memory - in the form of keepsakes, picture frames and other memorabilia which not only mark the potential of the young child on the day but will also stand as a reminder of the journey taken at key stops along the way. The key to identifying a good gift is to consider the extent to which the parents will be proud to display it in their home, or keep it in their hearts, for years to come.
Personalised christening gifts are an ideal way to ensure the day is remembered for the flourishing life it is meant to signify, rather than the sticky hands and grumpy tears it almost certainly entailed. A personalised gift is a thoughtful and generous gift which, being as unique as the child themselves, is certain to make any parent proud.
Personalised picture frames are an excellent gift idea as they combine the image of the young child and the messages of well wishers with a sense of longevity. As all children come to experience on the dreaded school picture day, parents are endowed with an uncanny love of photographs of their child dressed nice and smart, hair combed neatly (for once) and flashing big, toothless grins for the camera. So what better gift to make a parent proud on the first landmark occasion of their child's life than a candid shot of little Baby, lolling around unawares, with the added bonus of an elegant, personalised frame.
If the parents you are shopping for happen to be one of the strange breed who are happy to limit themselves to a wrinkled photo-booth printout stuffed inside their wallet, there are a whole world of other gift options available. Personalised blankets are both sentimental and practical gifts which the parents can use with pride and which can be passed on to younger generations when the time is right.
Likewise, personalised trinkets are a very popular gift for every occasion, particularly a child's christening. Keychains and necklaces emblazoned with Baby's name serve as a wonderful reminder of the day which can be enjoyed by the parents and the child alike.
Whichever gift idea you choose, it is important to bear in mind the implicit meaning behind a child's christening day as it both marks new beginnings and solidifies life-long memories. Any christening gifts which serve these purposes are sure to make any parent proud.
