Baptism crafts: a simple master class with step-by-step instructions (100 photos of the best ideas)

When choosing a christening gift for a boy, it is not necessary to purchase exclusively themed items for the occasion; you can quite easily buy things that are needed in everyday life, but in order for them to really come in handy, you can consult with the baby’s parents, who, if not the mother, knows better what her child needs .

True, there are a number of items that will definitely not be superfluous, for example, diapers, but before purchasing them you need to check the company that your parents are used to using, as well as the size of the diapers; in general, it is better to buy a little larger ones rather than small ones. And of course, it wouldn’t hurt to present diapers effectively, for example in the form of a cake.

You can also buy for your child a beautiful towel, a neat blanket or a beautiful box with wonderful limiters on the door, made in the shape of animals (such limiters are put on the edge of the door, and the child, trying to close the door, will not be able to pinch his fingers). A number of equally necessary and practical gifts include limiters for sockets; buy several packages at once, so that there is enough for all possible sockets in the house, buy a gift box separately, unpack the limiters, put them in the box, and put a tiny card on top with the words “S taking care of you."

Give a whole box of outlet limiters.

Congratulations can be pronounced orally, during the celebration timed to coincide with the ritual.
