Christening Favours

admin — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 08:38:46 +0000

Christenings are beautiful, memorable occasions, not just for the family but for all the guests who attend. A lovely way to thank your guests for attending the occasion is to present them with a Christening favour. Below are some great ideas for unique Christening favours.

Favours that include a picture of the baby are a really beautiful keepsake for guests to take away with them. Small frames with a cute picture of the baby boy or girl are sure to sit on guests mantle pieces as a beautiful memory of the occasion. Or key chains that have a gap for a picture are also a great keepsake.

If you’re having a meal after the Christening, a great functional favour is a place card holder. Add the table number as well as the guest name to the place cards and hand them to the guests at the reception entrance so they can easily find their seat. This also eliminates the need for a table plan. Your guests will love to take these away with them and insert a picture of the baby on their Christening day when they get home. You could even send everybody a little photo after the event to include in their place card holder.

Crystal and glass favours are fantastic keepsakes to give to guests. Whether it be a set of cute crystal booties or a small glass photo frame, glass and crystal favours will always be treasured.

Personalised favours are a great idea for a Christening. These give guests a permanent memory of the beautiful Christening day. There are so many items that can be personalised with labels applied to the packaging. For an extra special personalised favour, personalised favour boxes are readily available and can be purchased in baby blue and pink or whatever colour you choose to theme the day with. Favour boxes can either be filled with chocolates & sweets or use them as packaging for whatever gift you have chosen. Boxes can be found in all sorts of shapes and sizes so you are sure to find something to fit your chosen gift.

If you are choosing something specific for the god parents it is always a lovely idea to get this personalised as well. A personalised tankard for the god father and an engraved perfume bottle for the god mother are just two of the many ideas for personalised gifts.

Be sure to thank your guests for their attendance by using one of these great ideas for the perfect Christening favours.

Beautiful Baby Blankets – The Perfect Newborn Baby Gift

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:49:15 +0000

Choosing a newborn baby gift can be a tricky decision. Baby blankets are a beautiful item that is sure to be appreciated by the new parents and will come in handy well beyond the baby’s first few months.

Baby blankets come in all sorts of materials. From hand knitted, fleece blankets, to cotton comfort blankets. There is a use for all of them and a new parent can never have too many.

If you’re buying a baby blanket for a gift adding a personalised touch will make for a beautiful keepsake. There are many online retailers who will offer this service, adding the name of the baby and birth date along with a motif or decoration. Personalised presents show that bit of extra thought and will be treasured for years to come.

Hooded baby blankets are also really useful for the Winter months to keep baby extra cosy when outdoors. Fleece hooded blankets are perhaps the most practical for using in the buggy. Make sure to get the appropriate size so the hood fits snuggly round the baby’s head.

Hand knitted blankets also make extra special gifts. If you’re not a keen knitter get a design of your choice commissioned. Pop along to your local knitting shop where you are sure to find a wealth of volunteers to knit your blanket for you. A good knitter should be able to add in a motif of a flower, butterfly or teddy for some decoration. Or knitted blankets can be embroidered on when they are finished to include some decoration or the baby’s name and date of birth. This sort of blanket is sure to become a beautiful family heirloom.

Blankets with clips along the sides are also a great gift idea. This allows a teddy or toy to be clipped to the blanket for entertainment in the buggy or cot and is less likely to be thrown out of the buggy.

Blankets are not just useful for the Winter months to keep baby warm but are also great to use all year round as a play mat. Fleece or thicker blankets are especially good for this, providing a bit of extra comfort on a hard floor. Choose a blanket with a bright design to provide extra stimulation for the baby.

Blankets really do make beautiful baby gifts. Presented in a gorgeous box they are sure to be used for many years as the baby grows and their needs change.

These prints really are gorgeous and perfect for a Christening gift or newborn baby gift. They look beautiful in any nursery or children’s room. A beautiful keepsake for any new parent.

Nappy Cakes

Nappy cakes don’t sound like the most tempting of baby gifts but when you look at the contents you will realise that they are a really fun and useful present for any newborn. Nappy cakes are made up of lots of nappies and decorated with baby clothes, there is usually a baby toy on top of the cake to finish off the decoration. So, all the contents of a nappy cake can be used and the cakes also look fantastic. The nappies and the clothes are usually size 3-6 months so that the cake can be admired for a few weeks before it is dismantled.

We really think these are the perfect newborn baby gifts and are a really unique idea that is sure to wow any new parents. Have a look at our great range and do let us know what you think of these unusual gifts.
