Personalised christening gifts

We hand-picked every gift in this guide from the range we stock. Each one was chosen for who it suits and what it does. Some are for the godparent, such as a mug or a wooden heart decoration. Others are for the child, such as a Bible, a soft bunny or a nursery rhyme book.

We mixed kinds and budgets, so there is something for a godmother, family or a guest. Every gift can be personalised for them.

Personalised mugs and a wooden heart decoration suit a godmother or godfather well. Each one is personalised with their name, so the gift marks the christening as something you thought about.

The name goes on the front, and a short message fills the back, so the gift speaks in your words. The 'Best Godfather ever' wording is fixed, so you only add the name and message. Hand washing is recommended.

Godmother Mug, Personalised With Verse (£9.49)

A gift that says you listened, this godmother mug has 'I'm glad that you're my Godmother' on the front and a verse on the back. You add two names, one for who it's to and one for who it's from.

Because it's made just for them, check the spelling before you buy.

Best for: A godmother's keepsake for the home.

Personalised Holy Bible gifts, a children's Bible stories book and a blue religious watch all suit a christening or communion. What ties them together is the wording: you type a name or short message, and each one is made to order for the child.

A little luxury for the baby, this King James Version Holy Bible has a leatherette cover and silver leaf page edges. It includes both the New and Old Testaments, plus a bookmark ribbon.

'Holy Bible' is already printed, so you only add the wording.

Best for: Christenings and baptisms.

Personalised Cross Bible (£32.99)

Nice to unwrap, nicer to use, this cross Bible comes in blue or pink, so you can choose the one that suits the child. It's a lovely choice for a christening or confirmation.

Personalised First Holy Communion Bible (£15.99)

Our pick for a first communion, this Holy Bible is made for the big day. 'First Holy Communion' is already printed, and you add the rest.
