Christening Gift for a Boy – Our Best Tips
Finding the right christening gift for a little boy can be a little tricky – especially the first time. When a christening is coming up, you naturally want to contribute to the atmosphere and to the parents’ joy over their little ray of sunshine. Here you will find our best tips for christening gifts for a boy.
Classic and New Ideas
Many people choose to give something traditional at a christening – silver gifts such as a christening spoon or money box have been common for a long time. Others choose beautiful clothes, a book, or simply a gift card that the parents can use whenever it suits them. At Villervalla, we are especially fond of the latter option: soft, colourful clothes in organic cotton that have time to be used before the child grows out of them.
Our Best Christening Gifts for a Boy
At Villervalla, you will find colourful garments in organic cotton from a Swedish-designed brand. A few favourites to give as a christening gift:
- Bodysuit with smart poppers – choose from classic stripes, our Funky Dogs or the Tram print.
- Pyjamas or all-in-one suit in soft jersey.
- Reversible blanket in organic cotton, perfect for the pram.
- Hats, booties and mittens for walks.
- Bib and scarf to help with food and dribble.
- Socks and sock sets that work both for everyday wear and for more dressed-up occasions.
- Sleeping bag for the very first nights.
- Gift card when you do not want to choose yourself.
What Do Others Give as Christening Gifts?
Many people choose more traditional or symbolic gifts for the child. Common choices include:
- Keepsake box for small christening mementos.
- Photo frame – perhaps with space for the christening photo.
- Money box or christening spoon in silver.
- Book about the child or the child’s development.
- Shares or securities that the child can access later in life.
Some choose a gift that the child can keep throughout childhood – such as a favourite blanket or a soft toy from another store. At Villervalla, our home is mainly in textiles.
Mix and Match with the Rest of the Wardrobe
Because Villervalla’s garments are made to be freely combined, it is easy to find something that matches the rest of the child’s clothes. A pair of trousers or a T-shirt from the same collection can be used both at the christening and for months afterwards. If mum or dad would like to match with their child, we also have a few adult garments in selected prints.
Size Tips
Size 56 or 62 is usually suitable for a baby who is a few months old at the time of the christening. For a very small or premature baby, we have a dedicated collection in the smallest sizes.
Unable to Attend the Christening?
No problem. Order the gift from our online store and let us send it directly to the parents. Convenient if you are travelling or live far away. Looking for a christening gift for a girl instead? You will find tips in our guide to christening gifts for girls.
