What do you do with gifts from christening?
My kids were both christened as newborns and now are early teens, I’m packing up to move and I have
15 x unused my christening photo frames
11 x first tooth/ curl
13 x silver first money boxes.
I feel like I should keep these as obviously people spent money buying them for us and whilst I’m so greatful for that, I’m also unsure about keeping them all because they’re not being used / will be used and will just be sitting in a box
What would / did you do?

I donated excess gifts for a charity to sell and regifted some items..
Don’t feel bad. The people that really care about you and your kids don’t want you holding on to multiples of the same object. They might as well benefit someone else.
I'd probably keep one of each item for each kid, they may want to use them for their own kids one day.
The rest I'd either donate or re-gift.
I'm sure the original gifters would rather they get used and appreciated by someone else rather than sitting around getting dusty in your cupboards 😊
