Christening gifts

[joggerjayne]

So you got a load of prezzies when you were Christened.

Cutlery sets, Peter Rabbit dishes, money boxes, Tooth Fairy boxes, picture frames, etc etc.

What did they do with them ?

Let you use them all, and break most of them ?

Or keep them in a drawer because they were "special" ?

And if it was the latter ... what was the effing point in having them ?

All my children were given lots of christening gifts each, my daughter has a wine goblet with her initials on and date of birth, also a wedgewood piggy bank, they are not used, they are momentos, i have my wedding album, and the silver salver from my wedding cake, but they aren't used, just keepsakes, like the ribbon from my daughter's 21st cake ot the Everton sash from the flowers from dad's funeral!!!
