A christening gift for a boy should be more than just a toy. It should be a piece that he takes out of the display cabinet later on—perhaps in twenty years, when he is organizing the christening for his own child—and passes on. In this selection, you will find classic christening gift pieces made of 925 sterling silver for boys: mugs with blue accents, children's cutlery with a rocking horse motif, christening spoons with guardian angel symbolism, and baby rattles with bear or animal motifs. All pieces are handmade in Russian workshops, most with an engravable handle back or polished base.
Looking for a wider selection? In our main collection of christening gifts, you will find the full range for girls and boys. For a royal statement line for the birth of a boy, see Birth gifts for boys — Prince Line.
What defines classic christening gifts for boys
For boys, imagery and symbolism form a unique connection. A rocking horse—the age-old image of a childhood companion that later becomes a symbol for "childhood"—often sits on the handle of classic children's cutlery for boys. Christening spoons with angel motifs are finished in blue and gold, while mugs feature classic crown motifs or traditional Russian imagery. Unlike the world of adults, things are allowed to be playful here without becoming kitschy—tradition carries the day.
The four lines
Children's cutlery sets with a rocking horse motif. The gold-plated 925 silver children's cutlery for boys is a classic—2 pieces, rocking horse relief on the back of the handle, partially gold-plated.
Children's mugs with handles. Mugs for the first drink made of solid material—the 925 silver children's mug for boys with silver relief features a royal crown, and the children's mug with two handles is ergonomically designed for the first months of life.
Guardian angel christening spoons. A classic christening symbol—the "Angel" 925 silver christening spoon for boys or the Angel baby spoon in gold-blue enamel follow the trusted angel symbolism. The back of the handle can be engraved.
Premium gift sets. For godparents or grandparents who want to make a statement gift: the 925 silver baby gift set for boys (cup, spoon, plate) or the larger "Murlyka-Boy" children's set with niello & engraving as a complete place setting.
Personalization with engraving
Most pieces in this selection have a polished handle back or a smooth base area that can be engraved with a name and christening date. A dedication from a godparent ("For Lukas — from godfather Markus, 15.07.2026") becomes a lasting commemorative text.
With every gift, we include a complimentary SilberVerse card upon request—a custom-written verse of 3–4 lines, tailored to the occasion and name, in your preferred language, printed as a 15 × 10 cm photo card in a standard silver, white, or black frame. Find more in our collection of personalized christening gifts with engraving.
