When you think that you should look for a gift for a certain occasion, for a certain person, do you feel excited about the idea? Are you tempted by the fact that you have to combine several individual parameters and choose the most suitable gift? Can’t wait to find out if your gift brought joy and satisfaction to the recipient?
When it comes to a gift for a baby or small child, whether it is a birth gift, a christening gift, or a celebration and birthday gift, the challenge is even greater. In the above cases and especially when the gift is intended for a baby, the child’s parents are also indirectly recipients. In the sense that they are the ones who will decide on his behalf, who will judge if the gift is appropriate, if it should be changed, etc.
Jewelry as gifts for baptism
And while baby and children’s clothes, a set of children’s sheets, a decoration for the children’s room or a toy are often the first things that come to mind for a christening gift, in the end everything contains the element of the ephemeral. Children’s jewelry, on the other hand, retains its value over time. At the same time, in the emotional field they win by a margin. They accompany children for their entire lives as beautiful childhood memories, which, in fact, may even develop into family heirlooms.
Depending on the relationship you have with the baby being baptized, there are jewelry options that are more suitable as a christening gift from you to him. If it’s your nephew or grandson, then a Konstantinato locket or an identity card are ideal options, whether it’s a boy or a girl. If it’s the baby of a friendly couple then a charm, a gold paramana or a bracelet, if the baby being baptized is a girl, are great options.
Jewelry items for boy and girl christening gifts
There are several ideas and types of jewelry for christening gifts, which do not depend on the gender of the baby. Their differentiation is limited to the color of the gold or the color of other decorative elements that may complement the design. So, they are suitable for both boy and girl.
Types of Necklaces
A necklace can contain symbolism, be a talisman or be a piece of jewelry that characterizes the person who wears it.
Constantinato necklace
Constantinato is a jewel with strong symbolism, which is connected to the Christian faith. It is intended as a gift for boys and girls and is usually chosen by members of the immediate family circle, such as the child’s grandparent, aunt or uncle. It is also chosen by people who are close to the family, such as best men or when there is an important professional relationship between them. It is worn forever, has timeless value and is a piece of jewelry that is passed down from generation to generation.
Necklace with the Virgin Mary or Jesus Christ
Another type of pendant associated with the Christian faith is the one depicting the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Since it is a baptismal gift and therefore intended for a newly enlightened member of the Church, such a locket is suitable as a gift. It accompanies its recipient for life and can be worn daily as a talisman. Whatever a christening guest’s relationship to the family and baby, a locket featuring the Virgin Mary or Christ is a great christening gift idea.
Necklace with Monogram and Locket with Zodiac
Necklaces that form the initial letter of the child’s name are also suitable suggestions for a christening gift for boys and girls. Likewise are the pendants engraved with the symbol of the sign to which the baby belongs. Of course, necklaces of this type are also perfect as holiday and birthday gifts respectively. If you are invited to a christening, don’t hesitate to buy the monogram or zodiac as a gift. It is an elegant piece of jewelry with a character that “clicks” with the person who wears it and is not limited by age.
