If one wanted to get a silver spoon engraved, they should visit their local engraving shop. With the way economics works today, that is probably going to end up being Things Remembered down at your nearest mall.
There are many shops and online businesses where one can have a silver spoon engraved. Tiffany and Co. is one place and online there is the Silver baby gift.
The easiest place to have a silver box engraved online would be Timpson Engraving, they offer a wide variety of styles and beautiful engraving at reasonable prices.

Well, the saying goes. "Born with a silver spoon in his mouth." I don't know if a silver foot in ones mouth is a good thing or a bad thing. Typically, the silver spoon means one who is born into wealth and status.
I just bought one at a antique store for five dollars.It has a wooden handle. On the internet the same one was selling for 27 dollars. Nickel silver has no silver in it. Copper,nickel and zinc. Mostly copper. It is also known as German silver.
These were issued for selling a certain amount of war bonds during World War II. I have one as well. Mine weighs 0.75 ounces, which would suggest a silver weight of 0.675 ounces (if they were made of coin silver, which is 90% silver). These come up on eBay fairly often - ones that are not engraved are far less common than engraved ones. With silver prices over $40, they are selling at (or even below) their bullion value.
One might go to purchase a silver candlestick at Candle Shops. One might go to purchase a silver candlestick at Walmart and TJ Max. One might go to buy a candlestick at Martins.
For Christenings a little gift (other than money) is more appropriate. One idea is to buy two little silver boxes (not expensive) and one is for a curl off the baby's hair and the other is for the first tooth they lose. These little boxes can be found in some larger drug stores; card shops or Trophy shops. Another idea is a silver (doesn't have to be pure silver) brush and comb set.I like to poke around Antique shops and find a sterling silver baby spoon or demitasse spoon. Give it a good polish, maybe have it engraved, and you have a useful gift to feed baby with and an instant heirloom.
Silver gets hotter faster tha iron because specific heat of silver less than iron.
