denzel_maggiore Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 This a christening for you/family (e.g. a child of yours) or are you going as a guest to someone elses christening?
Vito Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Fuck taking presents, that's what Birthdays and Christmas are for! If someone invited me to see their spawn get dunked they should feel privileged I even bothered to turn up at all.
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 26, 2011 Awards Moderator Posted June 26, 2011 I bought a friend two of these for her twins' Christening and they went down a treat. They've been using them and having seen the progress so far, they look like they intend on using them as the girls grow up. I'll probably end up getting one when I have a kid, assuming I can find someone willing to procreate with me.

denzel_maggiore Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Mothercare or Early Learning Centre vouchers will be enough in a card. Â I know it seems the easy option but when it comes to kids then things like that are much more appreciated I think and its also up to them when to use it. Rather than everyone buying presents that won't really make much difference.

Honesty is the best policy
King Pitcos Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 MP3 player. Not for a present, for yourself. Christenings, like everything else that happens in a church and isn't part of the plot of Bad Lieutenant, are dull. The only exception I've ever seen was when my nephew got christened. He was about two, and shouted "THAT WASN'T VERY NICE!" when the priest wet his head. But generally, they're long and crap. And they're even worse than normal church things, because there's far more chance of babies crying. Â Waterboy's present idea's great, though, so get that as well.
aaron Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 If it's not free bar then beer. And spliffs. If not for you then for mum and dad.
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Last christening I went to I took a eeyore plate, bowl and mug set. A) it's cute and b) useful for when the baby starts upgrading to real plates, bowls and mugs.
