I have been asked to be the Godmother to my nephew who will be baptised at the Vatican this month. What is an appropriate gift for our new Godchild on this special occation

It is up to you, give what you are comfortable giving and can afford. It is your nephew, I assume you are close to his parents or they wouldn`t have asked you. A good idea is a Savings Bond, or start a savings account for him, that you can add to at each birthday, Christmas, Etc that could be used as a college fund or whatever. That is what my Godparents did for me. An Aunt from my Mom`s side and an Uncle from my Dad`s did it together, then at 16 they told me I could use it toward my first car and/or Insurance!
