My grandson was baptised in May and the godparents weren't bought presents.
I don't think it's convention but whether you want to or not. My son did receive a 'Happy Godfather' card on father's day which I thought was taking things a bit far ..... perhaps I'm just mean!
I've never heard of it, the church usually give them a card.
Not necessary at all.
No, not traditionally
I wouldn't say so. It's an honour to be asked and IMHO that is present enough.
I think the ' honour ' of becoming Godparents to a special child is gift enough bednobs.
I've not heard of this as a convention. Normally the gifts flow the other way round.

I think Ellie and Flump have hit it on the head.
I send my godmother a mothers day card , easter card, christmas card and birthday card every year, all with the 'Godmother' caption, which she really appreciates and looks forward to.

Never heard of godparent presents at a christening, we sell cards at work to a godson or goddaughter on the occasion of their christening but that's it.

thanks so much for your answers :) if you'd have all said yes, i don't know what present i would have got them anyway.
We have asked for no presents for her, but if people want to they can either put a bit in the collection plate, or send some money to the neonatal unit at the local hospital - she has lots of "things" (and god knows i don't want anything more to dust) but she'll never have her brother and sister
No...

Save the money and buy yourself something nice :-)
i still have my christening bible with an inscription from my other godmother who died in 2000 just after my mum, very precious to me it is.
