An alternative to christening, naming days are non-religious ceremonies specially designed for welcoming newborn children so, as a sign of the times, you may be invited to a naming day ceremony and that means a naming day gift.
Are you a parent organising a naming day ceremony? We know parents often choose poetry or their favourite piece of prose to be read at the ceremony, so you may want to personalise gifts for your guests with those verses. They’ll look stunning on personalised candles that you’ll find in our christening candles category.
As a close friend or family, have you been asked to be a naming day supporting adult or naming day mentor for a child on his naming day? Much like a godparent (without the religious connotations), you’ll surely want to show your love and appreciation by offering a naming day gift.
A naming day gift won’t have a cross like christening gifts but any of the other gifts in The Gift Experience collection will be just right. Big naming day favourites include the First Year Frame and Clock that holds 12 images of the little boy or girl, the personalised bunny rabbit or personalised teddy bear.
You can also choose a fun, original gift like a
personalised naming day magazine – the newborn will look so cute on the front cover! Or as supporting adult at the
naming day celebration, you might want to offer the child his first educational gift like
Beatrix Potter Stacking Blocks with images that will encourage
alphabet and number awareness.
