Christening - for a nephew
A personalized christening book for your nephew
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 nephew: a one-of-a-kind adventure starring him, not another toy.
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.

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 nephew
For a nephew the competition is a shelf of things that light up, and the way to win is not to compete on noise. A book where he is drawn as the hero is the one gift in the pile that no other relative could have given, and it is still there when the batteries have gone. Older nephews are the sceptical ones - by seven they have seen books with their name typed in and were unimpressed - so the fact that the illustrations are generated from his actual photo is the part worth mentioning when he opens it.
A dedication in your voice
For my nephew, the bravest one in the family. Your uncle
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If he is six or older, tell him the pictures were made from his own photo. That is the detail that turns a polite thank-you into him actually reading it.

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.
