What's the difference between a christening and a baptism gift?

Practically, none — the gifts and traditions are the same. 'Christening' is the older English word; 'baptism' is the older theological one. Choose whichever the family uses.

Are personalised christening gifts a good idea?

Yes — names, dates and engraved verses turn a beautiful object into a keepsake the family will pass down. We offer engraving on most jewellery and keepsakes.

Can I send a christening gift if I can't attend?

Of course. We gift-wrap, write your card by hand, and send directly to the family in time for the day.
