Gifts for Ninong
and Ninang

For a christening or baptism, and for asking them in the first place. One boxed cup for each godparent, made by hand in the Philippines.

Five DUKE handleless stoneware cups in five glazes, gifts for ninong and ninang from AWIS

The short answer. One handmade cup for each godparent, boxed and tied with a ribbon: Juan is ₱650, the box ₱150. For a godparent couple, a boxed pair is ₱1,450. We prepare up to about 20 pieces per order. For wedding sponsors, see gifts for wedding ninong and ninang.

Asking them

A proposal gift says "will you be our child's ninong?" before anyone says yes. A single boxed cup with a handwritten note is enough. It is personal, it is modest, and it is used long after the christening.

At the christening

A thank-you for each godparent on the day. Give one boxed cup each, or a boxed pair for a ninong and ninang who are a couple. A pair of Juan is ₱1,300. A pair of Floresca is ₱1,800.

How to order

  • Count your godparents and write to hello@awis.ph or message @awis.ph with the number, the date and a glaze preference.
  • We reply with what is on hand and the total.
  • Pay by GCash or BPI.
  • We prepare each piece in its own gift box, and ship or set them aside for collection in Pasig.

A cup for each of the people who promised to look out for your child.

Questions

When you ask someone to be your child's godparent, a small boxed gift with a note does the asking. A single handmade cup in a gift box is ₱650 plus ₱150 for the box; a boxed pair for a godparent couple is ₱1,450.

A thank-you for each ninong and ninang: one boxed mug or cup each, or a boxed pair for a couple. We can prepare up to about 20 pieces; tell us the number and the date.

One for each ninong and ninang, or one for each couple. Many families have several sponsors, so count them first and write to us with the number.

Each piece is thrown and glazed by hand, so no two are identical. We can keep them in one form and one glaze where stock allows, or give each godparent their own glaze.

We do not engrave or print. Most families add a small card with the child's name and the date.

Pieces on hand are prepared within three to five business days after payment. For more than a few pieces, write to us early with the date of the christening.
