What is a reasonable gift idea for a Christening?
Are presents looked down upon these days? I have not been to many really and I just don't know the proper etiquette. Someone mentioned I should go to a catholic novelty store and get a gift for the babies room. Is that tacky?

I like to give a Tiffany bank. It's a nice gift that looks cute in the baby's room

I've always just given money. And so do my family and friends. Maybe godparents also get jewelry in addition to money, but cash is usuallly standard.

A cross to hang or plaques or a nice frame is always another way to go.

Re: What is a reasonable gift idea for a Christening?
Although money is the typical gift, especially in my very Italian family, I like meaningful gifts too. A nice cross or small religious plaque to hang in the baby's room is very nice. I think it's completely up to you and what you feel comfortable with.

I think it's more traditional for godparents to get crosses and stuff, so we also give savings bonds!!!

Re: What is a reasonable gift idea for a Christening?
I would give money. If you wanted to get a gift maybe a picture frame. We got 2 crosses for DS's Christening. We only hung one in his room.
