Gift for Godchild?

Can anyone give me advice on what you are to give your godchild for their christening. Me and DH have been asked to be godparents to a friends baby and i have no clue what to do.

The mom told me they have a dress for the godchild. I was thinking buying him a cross but how much money do you give as a gift.

If any mothers can help too i would appreciate it.

We gave our Godchild a savings bond for $250 and a few Precious Moments baptism/christening things plus we paid for the favors for the party which were ceramic Precious Moments picture frames.

definitely the cross on a chain for the baby to wear. That's a tradition, I believe.

We're going to do that, a cross for the baby, $200 (cash), and maybe some other trinkets.

But, DH and I are the godmother AND godfather
