Silver Christening Gifts

Silver gifts for christenings have become very popular over recent years.  That is because not only do they look expensive but are exquisite items that every parent wants for their child.  Plus they are suitable for both boys and girls. So the guests – and especially the godparents – look for special  christening gifts which will call the sacrament of baptism to mind and have lasting value. And not in vain, as silver spoons and charms are valuable not only for the precious metal they are made of, but also because they have excellent curative properties – they promote the healing of wounds, disinfect, and strengthen the immune system. Therefore, by giving the child being baptized a silver christening gift, we are wishing him not only a rich life, but a healthy one as well.

Get a silver gift that will not go out of fashion and last for lots of years to come.  Personalize it and this gift is truly memorable.  Can even be passed down generation after generation!

Silver spoons. A copious and healthy life is best symbolized by a silver spoon. The tradition of giving one as a gift goes as far back as the 16th century, when parents of a child born into a rich family were given a silver spoon so that the child would be satiated and rich. This is where the term “born with a silver spoon in his mouth” comes from, i.e. under a lucky star. These days, this gift is usually given by the godparents, and not when the child is born, but when he is baptized. It is important that the parents, upon receiving a silver spoon, don’t consider it a symbolic gift, but use it every day to improve the child’s health.

We recommend a “Little Clock” Sterling Silver Spoon.  It is retailing at £59 but is has plenty of space to engrave the child’s name on and further details such as its date of birth, height and birth weight.  Any parents would be very proud to receive this.

 

 

Other options include a Sterling Silver Spoon.  Even though the cost of silver is on the increase, we have been able to maintain the price of these spoons.  Therefore you would be getting a fantastic silver spoon at an even better price.

Silver booties. Other silver gifts that making striking commemorative items include Silver Booties on a Chain.  But these are not just silver booties but also have the added bonus of being able to store baby’s first tooth in the boot.  Each booty has a small lid that opens up so you can use it to store the baby‘s first tooth or a strand of hair; the bottom of the silver booty, which is approximately 2 cm long, can be engraved with the text of your choice, making it a lovely personalized gift. Your options are endless.

 

 

Silver dummy. Those who don’t particularly value age-old traditions and are looking for something wittier should appreciate a silver pacifier – obviously not one to be used for its intended purpose, but to store the child’s first tooth. These days, rarely does a little one grow up without this kind of “little friend”, so you can safely call a pacifier a symbol of childhood. Made from silver, it acquires lasting value and is a great alternative to the silver spoon; in fact, it even beats the spoon in terms of popularity.

 

Silver christening gifts are especially valued because they can be engraved, making them a unique and intimate gift that warms the heart. As previously stated a personalized gift clearly indicates that you have put a lot of thought into choosing the perfect gift.

For example, the pacifier is adorned with the image of a clock, so that a jeweler can engrave clock hands to show the child‘s time of birth. Most silver items also have enough space to engrave at least the baby‘s name or initials, as well as the date of baptism. So why not add some silver sparkle to the baptism with one of these charming gifts?!  It will touch the hearts of the parents and also leave a lasting impression.  The child may not appreciate it now, but it will be a nice reminder of their birth or christening when they are older.
