Christening Gift for a Girl – Our Sweetest Tips

Finding the right christening gift for a little girl can feel a bit tricky if you have not done it before. But there are many lovely options, and at Villervalla you will find colourful, organic garments that work just as well for everyday wear as for a special occasion. Here are our tips.

How Should You Think About the Christening Gift?

There is rarely one single right choice – it is more about what the family likes and what you want the gift to say. It can be helpful to think about whether you want to give:

• Something that becomes a lifelong memory – a favourite blanket or a sweet pair of pyjamas that can be kept for years.
• Something practical that will be used – bodysuits, socks and booties are always needed.
• Something a little extra – for example, a gift card so the family can add to the child’s wardrobe themselves.

Soft Favourites for the Little Girl

Here are a few garments from our range that make lovely christening gifts for a girl:

• Dress – colourful dresses in organic cotton, for both everyday wear and special occasions.
• Bodysuit in several colours and patterns, such as our popular Newborn prints with little bumblebees and teddy bears.
• Pyjamas or all-in-one suit in soft jersey with feet and poppers all the way down.
• Reversible blanket – patterned on one side, plain on the other. Practical and beautiful.
• Baby hat and booties in matching colours.
• Bib and scarf – practical during the first months.
• Socks and sock sets that are always useful to have more of.

Which Size Should You Choose?

Babies grow quickly, and parents often already have clothes in the smallest sizes. Size 56 or 62 is usually suitable for a baby who is a few months old at the time of the christening. If you want to buy something the baby can grow into, you can go up one more size. We also have a full collection especially for newborn and premature babies, or for babies who are small.

Mix and Match – So the Gift Lasts Longer

At Villervalla, we have a mix-and-match concept, which means that colours and prints can be freely combined across the entire range. This makes it easy to choose a bodysuit, trousers or hat that does not only work as a christening gift – but also with the rest of the child’s wardrobe. A simple way to make sure the garment has time to be used before it is outgrown.
