    I'd probably not wear jeans, but no need to get overdressed. A dress and cardigan maybe?

    I'd avoid any typical token christening gifts such as jewellery or ornaments. Clothes are always appreciated. :)

    Just something smart, like you woudl wear out to dinner. Skirt and top, pants and top, jumper dress would be fine. Not jeans, unless they were dressy ones.

    Gift should be from the two of you... he/she should sort that out. If you're stuck, a nice book of fairytales were lovely gifts we received. A bottle of wine if they are into that (someone gave us some wine for laying down, good for drinking in around 20 yrs). Or some people give good old cash in an envelope.

    Gifts aren't even expected btw, card might be fine.
