Gifts For Godparents

Me again

Do you give the Godparents of your child a gift and if so, do you have any suggestions?

We have four Godparents - one male, three female.

No, they get a little card with the childs details on to remind them of their duties though. This is given from the church. it is the godparents who bring the pressies!!!

we were given a gift when we were god parents last year ..it was a simple little photo frame with a pic of our godson

it was lovely i have to say

Inca - was he in his Christening outfit in the photo - what I mean is was it taken at the Christening?

Yep, I would go with that. I am Godparent to 4 of my nieces and nephews and have never had a present, nor would I expect one.
It is an honour to be asked, so I would not expect a gift too.
I also did not buy anything for the Godparents to my son.

The photo idea sounds nice, but that is something you can do from time to time over the years. I quite often send photos of my son to his Godparents at special times, ie nursery and school photos, Xmas, birthday etc.

I'm with Fudgeley & RRMum i'm a god parent 3 times over & have never expected or been given a gift.

I still however have the card I was given after the service with the childs details on it which I've kept.

Don't feel obliged to give a gift but if you really wish to I think a photo of the godparent with the child on the day of the christening would be a lovely thing to receive later (after all the day is more about the little one )

No. I've been given the honour of being Godmother to my friend's little boy and I'm not expecting any gifts. To my knowledge, it's not 'the done thing'. I will be getting a little something for Caleb (my Godson) though.

Thanks to you all for your advice.

Of course they get a present - a beautiful godchild!!! What more can you offer them?

yes with us holding him ......they brought it round a few days after i was totally thrilled
