Any gift ideas for a christening. FH is the godfather. I know jewelry is typical; anything else?

Rosary, savings bond, pay for a photo shoot of the baby (I did this as a present for my MOH when she had her daughter - we did a newborn shoot and she said it was the best present she ever got), a piece of jewelry and a special book or Bible, or a nice engraved music box.

I bought my niece a cross and her godfather bought her medals. The medals are nice.

I got an engraved silver frame for my BM's son's christening.

A crucifix and chain I think is a great idea for both a boy and a girl.

I was going to buy my godson this but his godfather got it for him grr! lol So I got him a bracelet with his name and engraved on the back was the date of his christening.

These are all great ideas! Love the photo shoot gift!

Thanks for all the ideas. We ended up doing the cross and chain. I want to look into maybe a personalized photo album. Love the photo shoot idea!

A Cross is typical of the Godfather...
Something else...maybe a photo shoot somewhere of the baby in the christening outfit, photo frame (NICE ONE)...maybe a Bible ????
I personally LOVE Precious Moments figurines...they have ALOT of cute ones for Communion and I am SURE they have for Christening...
Hope this helps...good luck!

Re: NWR; Need gift ideas
If i remember correctly one of my godparents bought me a cross and the other gave me a savings bond. Those are the most traditional godparent gifts.
