If you've recently been invited to a christening, it's important that you don't turn up empty handed. More and more families are choosing contemporary naming and welcoming ceremonies over traditionally religious christenings, so make sure you're aware of the kind of event that you'll be attending so that you can tailor your offering accordingly. Most new parents have been inundated with gifts of toys, picture books and babywear, so why not choose something a little different that will have lasting value for the child?

Sustainable Gifts
If you're a lover of the environment and all things eco-friendly and you want to pass this on to the child of your friends, why not plant a tree in honour of the new baby? You could also plant a shrub or a bush as an enduring gift that the child can water and care for as it grows with them. This is a perfect option for more modern ceremonies.
