What gift should you give for a christening?
A christening is a special moment. A day apart, where everyone gathers to celebrate a child, surrounded by family and those who matter most. And very quickly, the question arises: what do we give? You want a gift that is meaningful. Something beautiful, of course, but also an object that lasts, that accompanies the child and tells a story. Not a gift that ends up forgotten in a drawer a few months later. So here are our christening gift ideas, designed to mark the moment… and stand the test of time.
To decorate their room
Gaston is typically the kind of decorative gift you can give with your eyes closed for a christening. He easily finds his place in a child's room and instantly adds a poetic touch. Personalized with a first name, a nickname or a kind word linked to the occasion, he becomes a beautiful keepsake to treasure for years.

Marin the cushion
Giving a personalized cushion is always a great idea. Marin is both useful and full of emotion. You can have a first name, a word or a nickname embroidered on it… but what really makes the difference is the option to add a drawing. Seeing your own drawing on a cushion makes for a unique, very personal gift, and one that children will often be very proud of later on.
Pedro the bird naturally brings to mind the dove, a powerful symbol of christening. Rather than the traditional medal, offering it as wall decoration is a lovely alternative. A symbolic gift that's a little different, and brings a touch of softness to the child's room.

The little everyday essentials
A comfort toy never goes out of style. Whatever the age, it's an affectionate, reassuring and often essential gift. Patapouf, Marco, Patrick and the whole gang are personalized with a scarf, to make them truly unique. A companion that will stay with the child for a long time.

Paulette, the toiletry bag
Practical, useful and long-lasting. The toiletry bag is a gift that really gets used, from the very first trips and for . Small or large, personalized with the child's first name, it will accompany them on their weekends, holidays and first adventures.
For little ones, slippers are always a safe bet. Suzon is soft, comfortable and perfect for keeping tiny feet nice and warm. A simple gift, but full of tenderness — ideal for a christening.
