A christening is one of the rare occasions where you give a gift to someone who will never remember receiving it. That is exactly what makes the choice hard: the object has to survive the years, so the child finds it later on, or hears the story from their parents.
A personalized christening gift with their first name handles that constraint nicely. It has no age, it finds its place in the bedroom from day one, and it looks like nothing else in the house.
A door plaque with their first name
This is the christening gift that settles in fastest: fixed to the bedroom door, the plaque marks the child's arrival in the house. It stays for years, long after the newborn clothes have been packed away.
For a boy
Simple shapes and understated colors, the kind that grow with the room instead of dating it to the first few months.
For a girl
The same pieces come in softer shades, with botanical motifs that still look right at any age.
When you are the godfather or godmother
Godparents are expected to deliver on this one, and are often stuck: the medal and the silver cup have already been claimed by the rest of the family. An object personalized with the first name settles the question. It is useful, it is one of a kind, and the child will find out later who gave it.
- A door plaque, to mark their room from the day they come home
- A pencil holder, ready for the first drawings
- An object engraved with their first name, which no two guests can turn up with twice
A gift that does not date
Unlike toys, a personalized everyday object never becomes too small. It simply changes job over the years, and stays in the room.
Every piece is 3D printed and made in France, personalized with the first name of your choice.
