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.
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.
Silver cups can be purchased at most home good stores. Check out Home Sense or Home Outfitters. Also take a look at Amazon or eBay which may have more variety.
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.
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.
i say yes for this one
I have a spoon that has a picture in the center of it which on the back say 1877 is it worth anything
There are many great ideas for a new baby girl! One is an engraved silver jewelry box with her name on it. Another would be a charm bracelet. Lastly, a gift certificate for a year's worth of baby photos would be amazing!
how much sterling silver is in one place setting
Here are some good gifts for a baby's christening and here are two that are very different and unique: * 2 small silver boxes (lining inside) and one is for a piece of the baby's hair; the other one to keep baby's first tooth that has fallen out. * Most trophy shops will carry this .... it's a thin silver cylinder on delicate legs and inside is a blank certificate that the parents can fill out for births or christenings. * Silver brush and comb set. * Silver mug with the baby's name engraved on it. * Clothing is fine to give as a gift. * A nice Christening frame for the baby's picture.
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.
It is better to use a plastic baby spoon instead of a metal one. Metal spoons make it easier for babies to hurt themselves when they are first learning to use eating utensils.
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.
