    Bitcoin. By the time the kid is 18 they'll thank you.

    I was in the same boat a couple years ago and got this for my goddaughter. It was a recommendation of a colleague of mine who has two teenage daughters. Went down well with my sister and her husband. Hopefully over time it does with my niece too

    My daughter's godmother set up a saving account for her and has been putting into it since then (17 years ago), She also bought her a necklace with her name and dob of the back.

    Other gifts tend to be the silver frames, hair, teeth and birth cert holders, plates with names and dates on them.
    Personalized blankets toys etc.

    My godmother bought my daughter her christening gown, which I loved.

    Brown Thomas do a voucher where the parents will take the child in and a mold is taken of his/her feet and hands. €100
