    I appologise if people feel this is the wrong place for this. It's one of those topics that just doesn't fit anywhere.

    Anyway, my question is...What would be an ideal gift for the baptism of a child?

    This will be the first baptism that I've ever attended (besides my own) and I haven't got a clue of what to get as a gift.

    *TUT* :-D

    As for the question...just go some place like debenhams they'll be able to advise you I reckon, you can get things like silver scroll holders for the birth certificate, and little silver boxes for the babies first tooth or a photo frame or some such jazz!

    As eth)_ has said, find a department store and buy the usual silver rubbish people buy. It will of course get dusty in a cupboard somewhere.

    Buy the kid a nice teddy bear dammit! No, not a bear, something different. A nice gorilla or an elephant maybe.

    Not sure how close you are to the child but a practical pressie and a useful one is to open a bank account in their name and then if you're a godparent you don't have to keep buying pressies for birthdays, christmas etc. you can just put money in the account.

    I would go with this or get a Department Store gift voucher. Or something specific to the date,e.g. one niece got a silver IR£1 coin (2000) and another got a silver ECU1 coin (1990).
