Southampton, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) March 13, 2012 - With the sunnier weather on its way, it can surely only mean one thing-Christening season is upon us and finding the right Christening Gifts can be difficult.

Christenings have been an ongoing event for many years and the giving and receiving of christening gifts is a long tradition. The idea of being christened is for a new baby or young child to be welcomed into the Church and the Christian faith as per biblical instruction along with officially receiving their Christian name.

Christenings began with families gathering at the baby's home and showering them with items which are what we now call Christening gifts. As in the well known Christmas story of the wise men traditional christening gifts included gold, frankincense and myrrh. As time moved on the traditional christening gifts to give were of monetary or material values to help in later life, one of the popular christening gifts was a silver sixpence, which was to represent a start on the Childs future nest egg.

This of course started the trend that is ever popular today with silver christening gifts. From silver money box christening gifts to silver egg cup and spoon christening gifts, this seems the most popular type of christening gift to give to the child.

A1 Gifts has a wide selection of silver christening gifts from the popular ones mentioned above right through to modern day silver christening gifts, such as a yo-yo simply engraved with 'on your christening day'. Many silver christening gifts also feature a cross symbol to represent the occasion being celebrated within a Church.

Whilst it is nice to offer someone being christened a traditional style christening gifts, you will find that often the christening gifts are duplicated. It has therefore become more and more custom that the Godparents concentrate on the silver traditional christening gift and other family members and guests buying more modern or practical christening gifts. Most christening gifts still contain a silver element within- be it a cross on a photo frame or photo album or silver colouring located on money boxes or embroidered to blankets.

Practical christening gifts like egg cups and spoons or cutlery sets have been modernised with colourful handles or with bright packaging, yet are still fabulous christening gifts to give as they are always part silver.

So remember when your buying your next christening gifts, the history of a christening is to celebrate and welcome the child into church. Looking for the right christening gifts can be easy with the knowledge to give monetary or silver christening gifts and often will have a traditional, or sentimental meaning behind them, and of course can be modernised or practical too.
