For Christians, a baby's christening is a very important event, welcoming the newest addition of the family to the Christian world. Gifts are given to the babies as part of the celebration. A wide variety of gifts are available for baby's christening. One is only limited by his/her budget, creativity and preference when choosing baby christening gifts.

Baby clothes are popular baby christening gifts. The huge number of stores offer vast baby clothing lines sure to satisfy even the pickiest gift giver. Tops, bottoms, sweaters and jackets, onesies, frog suits, dresses and cover-alls are some of the best choices when picking baby clothes for christening gifts. They come in a variety of styles, fabrics, and colors. Inevitably pink remains to be the most popular color choice for baby girls, while blue for baby boys; however, a handful of neutral colors are also available for both baby boys and girls. Clothes are popular baby christening gifts because of their practicality and also because they are not as expensive as other gifts. But then again, designer baby clothes also cost a lot but are sill popular baby christening gifts.

Another popular choice for baby christening gifts is toys. Toy manufacturers claim that giving toys instead of baby clothes are more practical in the long run since babies outgrow their clothes quite quickly while toys can offer years of enjoyment and learning. Popular toys choices include rubber or soft blocks, infant swings, noise making toys, cloth toys and push and pull toys.

Baby christening gifts which are specially made to commemorate the baby's christening are also popular gift choices. Some of the personalized baby christening gifts available are framed whimsical prints which include the baby's name and his/her date and place of christening. Baby blankets may also be personalized to honor baby's christening.
