Christening - for a grandson
A personalized christening book for your grandson
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 grandson: a keepsake from grandparents he will treasure - even from far away.
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 grandson
Grandparents are usually buying from a distance, and that changes what the book is for. It is not another thing in the toy pile - it is a way of being in the room on a night you are not there. The dedication page does most of that work, and it is the page his parents will still have in twenty years. If you are not sure what he is into at the moment, that is normal; ask for the current obsession, or pick a milestone story, which ages better than a fad.
A dedication in your voice
To our grandson - we thought of you on every page. With all our love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
Ship it straight to his house and write the dedication as if you are reading it aloud to him. That page is the part that gets kept.

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.
