Going to a Greek Christening Soon

[nm1999]

I am agonizing over what to give the child. I have been to plenty of christenings and I typically give money.

This is a different situation because I am a bit closer to the family than normal. I want to be more generous than I usually am. I will still give money, but I want to give a gift to open. Do you have any advice? It's a boy...

I would definitely give some money, and maybe a religious gift? I've given an icon, cross, that kind of thing.

I think you should find out what baptismal name he is taking (or being given) and then I would buy an icon of the saint he will be named after. You can also ask the parents for suggestions ...
