Christening - for a daughter
A personalized christening book for your daughter
A christening or naming-day gift with the baby's own name and face in it - a keepsake storybook rather than another silver trinket for the drawer. For a daughter: an adventure where she is the recognizable star on every page.
Most christening gifts are chosen to be kept rather than used, and end up in a box. A personalised storybook is the rare one that gets read: it works as a keepsake from the day and as an actual bedtime book for the next several years, with the child's name printed inside and a dedication page for the godparents to sign.
Great christening gift picks
Every night your child names three good things from the day, and the moon listens to every one.

What to know when you are buying for a daughter
The thing that lands hardest with a daughter is not the story - it is the moment she recognizes her own face on the cover and understands the book is about her specifically. Choose a photo where she looks like herself rather than her most photogenic self: a clear, well-lit, forward-facing shot beats a beautiful profile every time, because the engine works from the face it can see. And pick the story around what she does, not what you would like her to be into.
A dedication in your voice
For our girl, who is braver than she knows. All our love, Mum and Dad
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
Use a front-facing photo in good light. A gorgeous side-on shot produces a weaker likeness than a plain one taken straight on.

All occasionsCommon questions
What is a good christening gift from a godparent?
Something with the child's name in it that will still be used in five years. A personalised storybook does both - it is a keepsake from the day and a bedtime book they grow into, and the dedication page is where the godparent writes their message.
Can I give this for a naming ceremony rather than a christening?
Yes. The book itself carries no religious content unless you choose a story that does, so it suits a naming day, a blessing or a humanist ceremony equally.
The baby is only a few months old - is a book too early?
Not as a keepsake. Newborns are read to long before they follow a story, and the book is dated by the dedication, so it marks the day now and gets read properly later.
