Bible

• A Bible is a traditional christening gift. Choose a Bible that you believe best fits the child. There are many different Bibles ranging from the English Standard Bible to the King James Bible and New Century Bible. There are Bibles specifically designed for children. Bibles may be engraved with the child's name along with a personal message or favorite psalm.
  
  

Cross

• A cross is another traditional Christening gift that is available in different colors and styles. Engrave the child's name and date of her christening on the cross. The child can either hang the cross in her bedroom or store in a cabinet along with other keepsakes. This gift reminds the child of her faith.
  
  

Christening Cup

• If you want to avoid religious gifts then consider purchasing a christening cup. A christening cup is a pewter cup that represents the event and is considered a keepsake. Engrave the name of the child and the date of his christening on the cup. This gift can be stored in a cabinet with other keepsakes so the child can always remember his special day.
  
  

Rattle

• An elegant christening gift is a sterling silver rattle. This gift serves as a truly beautiful and memorable treasure. The name of the child and date of her christening can be engraved on the handle of the rattle. This type of gift can be stored with all the other keepsakes a child gathers in his childhood. This is a good idea for those who want to avoid a religious gift.
