Each family is different and so you will definitely want to check in with the mommy but here are some things we have done:

Christening Gown/Suit (Check with mom on preference)
Shoes
Underthings
Cross (Pendant and Chain)

I am my nephew's godmother & I purchased his entire ensemble for the day of the christening. His godfather bought him the cross...Check with his mom though & see what she prefers

aww how nice.. congrats! Chat Icon

As Ang said, usually the godmother buys the christening outfit - but sometimes the mom has a preference, etc, so you'll want to coordinate I'm sure

Congratulations!! Break out the wand Fairy Godmother!!

From my experience, the godmother offers to pay for the Christening gown. Godfather buys the cross. I would talk to the mom too.
