Baptism gifts for girls & boys

Looking for a christening gift that won't be forgotten after six months? In this collection, you'll find over 190 christening gifts made from genuine 925 sterling silver — baby spoons, christening cups, baby rattles, gift sets, children's cutlery, orthodox icon sets, and Niello hand engravings from Veliky Ustyug. For boys and girls. For godparents, grandparents, and friends. All engravable with the child's name and christening date.

This is our complete christening collection — the largest selection of silver christening gifts in German online retail. Each piece is made from solid 925 sterling silver (not silver-plated), comes in a gift box, and is ready for immediate dispatch or after engraving.

Why over 190 families choose silver for christenings

925 sterling silver has been the traditional material for christening gifts for centuries. The reason is simple: silver endures. While toys are forgotten after a year and clothes no longer fit after three months, a silver spoon still stands on the shelf after 20 years — with the child's name on it, polished and just as beautiful as on the day of the christening. It is food-safe according to EU standards, has natural antibacterial properties, and the hallmark (the small stamp) confirms its fineness for generations.

Christening gifts for girls

For girls, we offer christening gifts in pink, gold, and classic silver: angel sets with pink hues, princess-motif cups, baby rattles with bows, christening sets with guardian angel icons in purple or pink. Each piece can be engraved with the girl's first name and christening date. Our detailed guide: Meaningful Christening Gifts for Girls.

Christening gifts for boys

For boys, there are christening gifts in blue, classic silver, and with masculine motifs: angel sets in blue, teddy bear boy cups, star designs, knight enamel. The tactile baby spoon with a textured surface is particularly popular with boys — it stimulates sensory perception and looks like a genuine handcrafted piece.
