Personalised Christening Gifts For Boys & Girls

Welcome to our collection of "Great Oaks from little Acorns grow" Christening Gifts for both girls and boys. Unique Christening gifts for boys and girls can be hard to find and now with many people opting for a naming ceremony, the occasion may demand something a little different.

Personalised Christening Gifts

Our Acorn and Oak leaf themed Collection offers an unusual and alternative take on traditional Christening gifts. Most of our Christening gifts can be personalised by engraving for a truly unique gift. Each of our boys or girls Christening Gifts is handmade by us in our Wiltshire studio.

Baptism Gifts

Many of our Christening or naming ceremony gifts comes complete with a ribbon tied certificate for you to add your own personal message. The certificate does not mention Christenings, so can be used for other occasions such as Baptism gifts. The giver of the gift fills in the certificate and is remembered later in the child's life making a special heirloom for the future, as each gift is designed “adult size” to be useful later in the child's life ahead.

Whether you're a godparent, grandparent, or family friend, you'll find the perfect memento to mark this significant day.

As well as oak leaf and acorn themed Christening gifts we also offer more Christian based designs. Our engravable Celtic Cross spoon is based on the carved stone crosses found across Ireland and Scotland. Celtic crosses are renowned for their intricate patterns and knotwork, which are thought to represent the interconnection of life and eternity, with no beginning or end.

Our medieval cross spoon is based on St Cuthbert’s cross which can be found in Durham Cathedral.

The design of St. Cuthbert's Cross is characterized by its simplicity and elegance, with short, equal-length arms forming a cross pattée - a style where the arms flare out slightly at the ends. This particular shape was often used in medieval crosses and is associated with the idea of spreading the message of Christ to the four corners of the earth. St. Cuthbert himself was a monk, bishop, and hermit known for his deep piety, miraculous deeds, and connection to nature. His life and legacy have made him one of the most significant figures in the Christian history of England, and the cross named after him symbolises his enduring influence.

Celebrate this special moment with a gift that embodies love, hope, and blessings. Glover & Smith's Christening Gifts are more than just presents—they are heirlooms that will be kept forever, long after the silver-plated teddy is given to the charity shop.
