Christening - for a granddaughter
A personalized christening book for your granddaughter
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 granddaughter: an heirloom book with her face on the cover, from someone who adores her.
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 granddaughter
A book is one of the few gifts a grandparent can send that still means something once the wrapping is gone. Because it is printed with her face and her name, it does not get handed down or grown out of the way clothes and toys do - it goes on the shelf and comes back down at bedtime. If you see her rarely, choose a story about something she is going through rather than something she likes; it shows you were paying attention, which is the actual gift.
A dedication in your voice
For our granddaughter, the heroine of every story we tell about you. Love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If you are not certain of her age in months, round DOWN when setting the reading level. A book slightly too easy gets read; one slightly too hard gets shelved.

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.
