I still have the mugs, plates and egg cups that my sons were given 30 years ago. I'm now expecting my first grandchild, and have passed my son's mug on to him for the new baby.

They did also have a money box, but that hasn't lasted!

This Wedgwood china is top quality, and the designs use the original drawings by Beatrix Potter.

You may find other china, using adaptations of the original Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit designs, but I prefer the originals for a Christening or baby gift.

There have been some amendments to the original china , but the basic design has stood the test of time.

Whichever you chose, the parents of the baby will treasure the gift. I would say, use the Peter Rabbit china - don't just keep it on a shelf! This china mug set is really is sturdy and practical. It can be a baby's favorite Christening gift.

This is the classic, original Peter Rabbit china gift set.

The Lake District, where I live was the home of Beatrix Potter. I used to read the Tales of Peter Rabbit to my children as a bedtime story. Children can use the books when they themselves are leaning to read. The stories are simple, amusing and clear. The characters are fascinating. Everyone loves the naughty animals.

The illustrations by the author are beautiful.

You simply can't go wrong giving a Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit book as a Christening gift.

This biography by Linda Lear gets 5 stars from its readers. Beatrix Potter was an extraordinary woman. Holding out against those who told her that drawing and writing were not suitable occupations for a wealthy young woman, Beatrix went on to become a riich lady in her own right.

In her second home, the Lake District (where I live) her legacy of preservation of the coutryside, and of the local Herdiwcik sheep, still lives on today.
