The best unique christening gift in the UK is something the family will keep long after the celebration is over — a personalised 3D photo crystal of the baby, engraved with the child’s name, date of christening, or a special message. Incrystals makes baby and christening photo crystals in Britain from £17.99, with our Free Image Enhancement & Preview service on every order and dispatch in 1–2 working days. It arrives gift-boxed and ready to present on the day.
Why is a photo crystal the ideal christening gift?
Christening gifts need to last. Silver frames tarnish, soft toys get lost, and clothes are outgrown within months. A baby photo crystal is made from solid optical glass with the image engraved permanently inside — it cannot fade, peel or break in the way printed gifts can. Parents and grandparents display them on mantelpieces and shelves for years, long after the baby has grown up.
What photo should I use for a christening crystal gift?
- A newborn hospital photo — the classic choice, capturing the baby in their very first days.
- An ultrasound scan photo — a deeply personal option that marks the journey from scan to christening day.
- A photo from the christening itself — order the crystal after the event with a photo taken on the day as a keepsake for the family.
- A photo of the baby with parents or grandparents — a family portrait that the whole household will treasure.
Which crystal shape works best as a christening gift?
- 3D crystal block or cube — a clean, classic display piece for a shelf or sideboard.
- Heart-shaped crystal — a warm, loving choice that suits a nursery or family room perfectly.
- Crystal keyring — a smaller keepsake for godparents or grandparents to carry with them every day.
All shapes can be paired with an LED light base for a softly glowing nursery display.
Can I personalise the crystal with the baby’s name and christening date?
Yes — a name, date of christening, date of birth or a short message can be engraved alongside the 3D photo at no extra cost. Your free image preview will show exactly how the text will appear on the finished crystal before any engraving begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best unique christening gift in the UK?
A personalised 3D photo crystal engraved with the baby’s photo and name is one of the most unique and lasting christening gifts available in the UK. It is completely one-of-a-kind, beautifully presented, and displayed by families for years rather than put away in a box. Incrystals makes them from £17.99 with free image enhancement and dispatch in 1–2 working days.
Is a baby photo crystal a good gift from godparents?
Yes — a personalised baby photo crystal is one of the most thoughtful christening gifts from a godparent because it is deeply personal and lasts a lifetime. A heart-shaped crystal or a small keyring the godparent can carry with them is a particularly meaningful choice.
How quickly will a christening crystal arrive?
Orders are dispatched in 1–2 working days from our UK workshop. We email a free image preview for approval before engraving begins, so it is worth ordering a few days before the christening to allow time to approve the artwork.
Can I order a christening crystal after the event?
Yes — many customers order a christening crystal after the day itself, using a photo taken at the event. There is no deadline; the crystal is a keepsake the family will treasure regardless of when it was made.
How much is a personalised christening crystal?
Personalised christening crystals at Incrystals start from £17.99 for a small keyring, with larger display-sized crystal blocks and hearts available across a range of sizes. All prices include free image enhancement, a free preview and a luxury gift box.
