I'm not sure if there is a tradition of giving gifts to the godparents for committing to becoming a second parent to your child, but there's always room for thanking them. We decided to do that by giving each of them a charm from Pandora.
Initially, I thought of getting them a baby-related charm to mark the occasion, then I thought of giving them something that reminds me of them.

| Godmother No. 1 loves almost anything British, most especially, Benedict Cumberbatch. I seriously doubt that I could get her anything Cumberbatch before she can. She tried to look for the guy when she went to London. So, I figured giving her iconic British symbols would remind her of her trip. | Godmother No. 2 reminds me of a swan because of her graceful movements, except when she's really laughing over something. It amazes me how she can manage to shift to the opposite end of her spectrum and return to her usual elegant self. | Godmother No. 3 and I have been friends for more than 20 years. I have always known her as a very caring person. We decided to give her a heart charm with the Chinese character for "love" to remind her of her half-Chinese godson and our family's gratitude for supporting us all these years. |
The other good thing about giving them Pandora charms is that the store offers a lifetime free cleaning service for all their branches worldwide! At least they wouldn't end up complaining of having to clean their respective charms. I hope their charms remind them of one of the most unforgettable moment in our lives.
