I need AT's advice -- I'm going to a christening in 2 months for my niece (I'll be her godfather).

my niece will be less than 6 months old at the time of the christening... do I get a gift that the parents would use, something that a baby would like, or something nice that the parents would put away till my niece got a little older (ie: jewelry)?

i r confused.

Why are you giving a gift? They should be giving you one for taking on the responsibility of being the godfather.

Tell me, please, just what it is that a six month old baby would like other than a tit to suck on.

What more would a 24 year old man want for that matter
