Childrens T shirts.

[Shadow Man]

If the parents are not fans would they object to a Christening present made up of an Elvis, Bowie and Beach Boys set of three baby T'shirts.

They are rather cute, but fear they may never be worn.

Any thoughts?

I still think they'd be cool and you should - they'd be so memorable...! Goooo for it...

Dont do it. You'll make a fool of yourself. How about baby albums if the parents havent already got them?

the best christening present that was bought for my son was probably the cheapest my brother got a mould kit and took a hand and foot print of my son! a keepsake forever

I'd be in 2 minds too Wardy - Do you have a picture of them? I agree that they are all quite iconic and I always liked 'cool' clothes for my son that weren't the everyday Tesco's stuff that every other baby was wearing. Given your penchant for Bowie I think his parents would quite appreciate the thought behind the gift!

I think they're a fab idea, alternatively, what about something from rosie nieper?

or, getting personal.com?

I think it would be cool but maybe get something more traditonal as well.I agree that most christening gifts are awful, we got a silver plated engraved box for keeping the christening video in !! But you could get something personalised with the baby's name.

My girls are 5 and love their Bruce Lee t-shirts. Little ninjas just like their daddy.
