I think books are a great idea, some childrens classics or something that meant something to you when you were a child. Our youngest daughters Godmother got her a tree which I think is lovely, as long as the recipient isn't planning on moving house. The other daughters Godmother made a sampler picture of winnie the pooh and got her a hardback winnie the pooh book. I thought they were lovely presents and we will keep them forever.

Quite traditional, but my daughter received a charm bracelet from her godmother for her christening and still wears it now, a few years later. I also bought my goddaughter one (from Links), with an "N" charm (she was christened Naomi) for her christening, and have then bought her charms for some of her birthdays/ christmasses since.

Also, I do think books are a lovely idea. If there is a character in a book/ play that has the same name as the child being christened, I have bought the child a special edition of that book, which has been well received eg. Just William books for a William, and As You Like It for a Beatrice (I think. Sleep-deprived head might have got that play wrong). Just have to make sure the relevant character didn't come to a sticky end in the book!

My younger son was given a really lovely Noah's Ark for his recent christening by one of his godparents, which I thought was a really nice idea. My other son received some classic beautiful books of children's poetry and some crockery from the Bunnikins range amongst other things...oh and a really lovely ceramic piggy bank from Tiffany's, which while he can't 'play' with it is much nicer than a lot of money boxes you see, and he does like to put money in it.

I bought a star for my goddaughter and for 2 older children for their confirmation. They come in different priced packages so it needn't be too expensive. You get to name the star and recieve a certificate with the stars co-ordinates and a little map with the star marked on it. Its something different!

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
