I have no idea if this would be something the baby would appreciate when she is older or not (definitley no good to her now) but I would have loved one

You can get her fingerprint or footprint engraved in a pendant - personally I think it would be cool when you are older to have one, then when she has children of her own, she could add to hers and wear multiples on a chain - maybe "goofy" but I love the idea

My godmother gave me a silver rosary with her intials, my initials, and the date on the back. She also gave me a gold children's ID bracelet with my name on the outside and hers on the inside. I still have the bracelet. I did a quick google but don't see anything like it--it's not a chain style, it is a solid band that has a very small button you push to open the hinge, and it's held together by another gold band that slides out, so an infant/child can't lose it.

Another idea is to give her a piece of jewelry that you can add to over the years, like an add a pearl necklace. They come in child/infant sizes, and the pearls can be tranferred to a larger chain when she gets older.

I gave my god duaghter a locket with her birth day on the inside cover and a picture of her on the other She is sixteen now and asked if she could change the picture to my wifes.

I have given my girl godchildren add a pearl necklaces. Then each birthday I add to it. My Dad started my daughter on hers. He got to 6 pearls just before he died. She refuses to add any more to it. She even wore it on her wedding day.

Waterguy...that's so sweet that she wants to put a picture of your wife in her locket. Your wife must have meant a lot to her...

Waterguy - that is so touching. She sounds like a sweet young lady.

I've never been a god parent (we're Protestant and don't really do that alot - at least not in my family) but I've always liked the idea of a charm bracelet because you can add to it over the years with charms for special occasions or places. We got our daughter a sterling bracelet when she was young and sometimes I wish I had bought a gold one, because I'm hoping it's something she always has.

I like all the ideas in this thread!

I think these are very cute......

Silverheels, I love that your dad gave her six, she hasn't added to it and wore it on her wedding day. What a wonderful tribute to her grandfather!

wishwewerethere, I have given a neat gift to all of my first cousin's first babies. A sterling birth certificate holder, engraved with name, date and weight at birth. They have loved it because it's a different gift. Know you'll find just the right thing for your god child!

Hey she is just like my wife with the purse habit and all but she likes to hunt too so I hope she gets that from me
