Practicing Catholic reporting for duty!!

Yes, you can send a gift even if you are not attending, if you would like.

I've transitioned from giving the standard Christening gifts, because a kid ends up with 3 bibles, Precious Moments figurines, and about 10 rosaries (experience talking here)!

Some gifts I have given have ranged from a savings bond(my godson) to a little basket filled with rattles, bottles & a monogramed baby blanket. You can give anything baby friendly.

Good luck!
