I don't know if you are to bring a gift to a baby's christening or not. And if so what would be a customary gift for the event. It is for a boy who is 8 mos old.

Answer
Gift certificate is good.

What is Customary to get my Godson as a Gift for his Christening?

::: Zagori

I am travelling to Australia from Europe for my Godsons Christening. He will be 9 months old at the time. What sort of gift should i get him? Also, i am buying his outfit for the Ceremony, what should it look like? Should it be all white? His mother is young, and not into the whole long dress gowns that Babies used to wear...
Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks!

Answer
traditionally the godmother (parents) bought the baptismal candle, the outfit, and a gift. (gets kinda pricey, doesn't it?) i think the best gift is a child's first bible, and it doesn't need to be an expensive one. the one we got was child-friendly, with bright pictures and very short stories. (and, of course, a very sweet note inside from his godparents!) my boys all wore a snow-white dress shirt, pants, socks and shoes, with white-on-white patterned vest and matching bow tie. my mom sewed them so all the boys' outfits were the same, but i found a website where you can order one. another great gift we received was a baptismal BIB! it protected his good outfit, but he was still lookin dapper! you could also buy a gold or silver cross necklace in a nice box... not to be worn but to to be carried by his wife on their wedding day.
