How to Pick Christmas Gifts for Godson
Godparent gifts carry a little more weight: something he can keep, something that fits his age, and for religious occasions something that marks the faith milestone.
Christmas is the heaviest shipping week of the year, so order early and check the delivery estimate on Amazon before you rely on it. Many godparents pair a keepsake with a smaller fun gift.
Safety note: the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) bans toys with small parts for children under 3 (16 CFR 1501). Buy to the age grade printed on the package, especially for younger kids.
