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!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
