Christening Keepsakes for a Boy: Ideas beyond Blue

Memorial gifts for a boy's christening: Guardian Angel, Good Shepherd, Bible, letter from the christened and family box.
By CrystalPrintArt Published Approx. 1 min read

A christening gift for a boy should not be limited to the color blue or things "for a baby". It is better to choose a subject whose meaning will be clear ten or twenty years from now.

Guardian angel

One of the most universal subjects: it talks about custody and life path, not about the age of the child.

Good Shepherd

The lamb and the figure of Christ create a calm composition that is easy to explain to a child when he grows up.

Bible and letter

The book with a separate postcard from godparents preserves not only the object, but also the voice of specific people.

Memorial box

You can keep a candle, photos, invitations, letters and other small items from the christening day in it.

FAQ

Is it necessary to engrave the name on each gift?

No. A separate card with the date and name is often sufficient.
