Christening gift… good or cheesy?
I have a Christening coming up for a family member. Low key, not very religious (BBQ as party to follow… if you catch my drift).. Anyway, I figured normally you give money or jewelry(I think?).. so to be different I bought a silver plated jewelry box that i would get engraved with the babies name on top. But Im not sure if that is cheesy? Also.. I jumped the gun and bought a box i think is not nice enough (although I dont want to spend a million dollars) http://www.egiftsbazaar.com/silver-jewelry-box-antique.html
any opinions??
I never would have thought of this as a gift for an infant but it definitely is something she (not for a boy) could use in the future. Having it engraved is a very nice thing to do. It is small and can be put away if necessary until she starts collecting jewelry.
It looks nice enough. If it looks cheap, either take it back or put something inside like some money or a rattle or something. Don’t think it isn’t nice enough if you are only saying that because it wasn’t expensive.
Nobody else will have anything like this as a gift, so I think it’ll get positive attention.
Anyone who says anything negative is a crass, rude person and you couldn’t care less what they say. So there!
