It's really hard to find a christening/naming ceremony gift that is both affordable and unique and something that will be cherished rather than put into a cupboard.  We at Creative Casting have spent alot of time developing a range of products that most people would welcome as a christening gift.  We offer a next business day service which means even if you have left it until the last minute we can normally get something to you.  Please eamil us prior to purchase to ensure we can get your chosen item to you.

Here's some ideas of gifts that can be ordered on Thursday before 10am for delivery on Friday (someone will need to be in to sign for the delivery):

  • 3d Hands and Feet Casting Kits
  • Clay imprint Kits
  • Inkless Imprint Kits (not including the finished piece- if you choose a crystal you give the imprint kit as the gift for them to take the prints and send back to us and we will laser engrave the prints into the crystal, this usually takes up to 28 days to receive the crystal back)
  • Paint Kits

If you realise after Thursday 10am and before Friday 12 noon we can despatch using Royal Mail's 1st class postal service (although we cannot guarantee the arrival on Saturday unless the Special delivery Saturday premium is paid) the following items :

  • 3d Starter Kit (no frame)
  • Clay Imprint Kits
  • Paint Imprint Kits
  • Inkless Imprint Kits
  • Signature plate ( unpersonalised)

Our signature and christening plates are proving to be a real hit. 

The signature frame can be used to sign around the mount with the pen provided and then using the inkless imprint kit provided you can mark the ocassion with prints of the baby's/childs hands or feet.  This keepsake gift which can be signed (approx 30 signatures) by family and friends to create your lasting memory of a very special day. It's a great gift and alternative to a guest book and comes in a presentation box.  Prices from £24.99 plus postage and packaging.

The signature plate - It can be personalised if you allow enough time or left neutral if you need a last minute gift.  The plate is another great alternative to a guest book and a slightly more unusual gift.  The baby design has been designed exclusively for Creative Casting by Lee Heeley (cartoonist).  The kit comes boxed with a contemporary 8 inch round squared edge plate with the baby in the middle and a porcelaine pen for all the guests to sign and share there thoughts for the future on. This is a funky idea leaving traditional storks and babies and baskets behind but allowing a great reminder to everyone in years to come of that special ocassion. The personalisation around the plate needs 7 working days to achieve so if it's last minute don't order personalisation as it won't arrive in time.  Get creative when it arrives and do it yourself (if you make a mistake you can always use a baby wipe to rub off and do it again).

 

 

3d Hands and Feet Casting Kits :

  • Why not purchase our starter kit which has enough materials to make and cast 4 moulds and includes silver paint.  The price is £18.99 plus postage.

  • If you have a little more in the budget why not choose our kits including a presentation frame which is beautifully presented in this box.  The prices start from £24.99 (excluding postage).

 

  • A really popular christening gift is the photo kit where the recipient can display a cast or two plus a photograph from the special day.  Prices are £34.95 plus postage and packaging.

  • If the 3d casting kit isn't for your or the recipient why not look at our clay kits that are available in either an 8*8 frame or a 10*8 with room for a photograph.  The clay is air drying and very easy to use, if you make a mistake you can just scrunch up and re roll the clay until you have a print that you are happy with.  The 10*8 comes with a strut back so that it can be either hung on a wall or sat on a desk/mantle piece.  Prices start as littke as £14.99 plus postage and packaging.

  • Paint Kits.  For a low cost impact gift, why not give a canvas kit so that the baby's/childs hand or footprints can be captured on or around the day.  If you have someone arty you can personalise around the footprints with the date, name etc and maybe some baby pictures.  We also do a framed footprint kit - room for the prints and a photograph.  Prices from £4.99 plus postage and packaging.

  • The inkless imprint range is a fantastic gift.  You can start with the imprint kit on it's own to capture a very high detailed set of prints.  You can then purchase crystal blocks, keyrings with the prints laser engraved into them or create a mug or simply frame them in one of our purpose made frames.  The inkless range starts from £6.99 up to £40... plus postage and packaging.

 

Why not visit our Ebay Shop to see details of some fantastic ways to capture those very special memories!
