Whats an appropriate gift for a baby middle named after my late wife ?
Traditional gifts would be something long-lasting and valuable, that would be used in childhood and preserved as a keepsake into adulthood. Sterling silver, engraved with the child’s name, is a usual choice, although I have also seen pewter and china. Here are some examples: A sterling silver baby’s hair brush, with the initial of the middle name or a monogram engraved on the back. A small sterling silver cup engraved with the baby’s given names A small porringer (breakfast bowl) engraved with the middle name A long-handled sterling infant-feeding spoon, engraved with the initial of the middle name Although china cannot be engraved, it is also a common keepsake-gift: a “Bunnykins” china cereal bowl and mug, for example, might be used throughout childhood and then packed away as a keepsake.
