Want to give some money to friend's baby boy for his Christening. Is there any options available, I wanted to buy a premium bond but you cannot just buy them, any ideas what to buy/give, not gifts as they are just crap.

If you're buying it in the cask, then yes. If it's in the bottle, then it won't improve over 18 years.


I bought my godson a (modern) pocket watch. It'll practically be an antique when he gets to 18. Not sure how fashionable it will be in 18 years time.
