Thoughtful Keepsakes That Make a Lasting Impression
Finding that perfect christening gift for a boy, doesn’t have to be hard. You want something thoughtful. Unique. Preferably not another silver spoon or blanket set. Something the parents will remember — and the child might even treasure for years.
At Name Train Depot, we offer just that. A personalised wooden name train that’s equal parts keepsake, playtime favourite, and learning tool. Built to last. Designed to delight.

Why Personalised Christening Gifts Matter
Let’s be honest: most christening gifts get tucked away. That’s not always a bad thing — some gifts are keepsakes by nature. But what if you could give something personal, practical, and memorable?
A personalised name train checks every box.
- It’s custom-made with the child’s name
- Looks beautiful on a nursery shelf
- Helps with early literacy and motor skill development
- And yes — it’s fun to play with!
This isn’t just a gift. It’s a feature of their childhood.
The Best Christening Gifts Blend Tradition & Personality
There’s something lovely about the tradition of christening gifts — especially in Australia where families often mark the occasion with a church ceremony or naming day.
But the best modern gifts are the ones that say this was chosen just for you.
Silver money boxes? We’ve seen them.
Jewellery they’ll wear in 20 years? Maybe.
Personalised wooden train set with their name on it? Now that’s a standout.
You’re not just giving a toy. You’re giving a gift they’ll remember. One that makes the parents say “Wow — that’s different.”
Why Wooden Name Trains Are a Top Pick for Baby Boys
When you’re shopping for christening gifts for boys, you want something sturdy, safe, and sweet — just like him.
Our wooden name trains are:
- Made from sustainable materials
- Painted with non-toxic finishes
- Built to be handled by curious little hands
They come in two styles — classic or EverEarth — and can be customised with any baby boy’s name. Whether it’s Liam, Noah, Ethan or a name that’s uniquely theirs, you can create a train as individual as they are.
Plus, they’re designed in Australia and ship fast — so even last-minute shoppers can rest easy.
Popular Christening Gift Ideas (And Why Ours Stands Out)
Let’s take a look at some of the more popular christening gifts for boys — and how our name trains compare:
| Gift Idea | Why It’s Popular | How Name Trains Are Better |
|---|---|---|
| Silver Money Box | Traditional, symbolic, long-lasting | Our trains are playable and practical too |
| Personalised Bracelet | Cute and meaningful, but quickly outgrown | Name trains are display-worthy for years |
| Photo Frame | Lovely on the shelf, but purely decorative | Our trains are interactive & personal |
| Baby Blanket | Soft and useful, but not memorable | Our trains are a true keepsake |
| Religious Book | Faith-focused, traditional | Our trains work for any naming day |
We’re not knocking the classics — but we are offering a better option.
A Christening Keepsake That Grows With the Child
At first, a name train might sit on a shelf. But as the baby grows into a toddler, it becomes a learning tool.
They’ll learn:
- How to spell their name
- Letter recognition
- Colours and sequencing
- Fine motor control as they connect and rearrange the carriages
This makes it one of the few christening gifts that’s both educational and sentimental.
Parents love it. Grandparents love it. And kids? They love pulling their name around the house like a prized possession.
What Makes a Name Train a Creative Christening Gift?
You won’t find our name trains in big-box toy stores. That’s the point.
These are creative christening gifts — the kind that make people ask, “Where did you find that?”
They’re made for parents who want something more meaningful than mass-produced plastic. And for gift-givers who don’t want to show up with the same blanket or bunny as everyone else.
Each name train:
- Comes in its own gift-ready packaging
- Fits beautifully into a nursery or playroom
- Is personalised to order
It’s one of the few gifts that will be remembered and used for years to come.
