Engraved Glass Candler Holders

• An elegant Christening candle gift is a set of engraved crystal candle holders. Have the holders engraved with the child's name, birth date, birth weight, or another significant and meaningful phrase.
  
  

Candle with a Photo or Footprint

• Holographic candle holders can feature a baby photo or footprint as well as an engraving. These decorative art pieces serve double duty as candle holders and picture frames.
  
  

Multiple Engraved Candle Votives

• A lovely christening candle gift that can be cherished and enjoyed by entire families is multiple engraved candle votives. The appropriate number of small, single votive glass or crystal candle holders can be engraved with the baby's name, birth date or christening date and distributed as favors to those in attendance at the christening.
  
  

Birth Announcement Candle

• You can have a copy of a birth announcement sealed into the base of a wax candle as a christening candle gift. While this type of candle is fully functional, many families opt to burn it for only short periods of time, or use it purely for decorative purposes, so as to not disturb the encased announcement. A variation on this theme is to replace the birth announcement with a single photo or photo montage.
  
  

Carved Votives

• Much like engraved crystal or glass candle holders, carved wooden candle holders and votive stands make a beautiful, rustic christening candle gift.
  
  

Floral Decorated Candles

• A lovely handmade christening candle gift is a pillar candle adorned with fire-retardant silk flowers, ribbons and bows, accented with faux crystals or simulated gemstones to represents the child's birthstone color. You can determine the flower associated with the child's birth month and use that as a focal accent, or work with familiar baby shades of pale pink, blue, yellow, green or white.
  
  

Commemorative Family Candle

• A unique christening candle gift is a hand-crafted commemorative family candle. Ask members of the immediate family to provide you with candle stubs they have used in their own homes. Remove the wicks and melt the wax into a collective mold with a new wick. You can decorate the candle with flowers or with personal family notes tied with raffia or ribbon.
