Confirmation gift in pewter — the gift that lasts a lifetime
Sleeves først — alltid
Hvert kort skal i syrefri sleeve før noe annet. Fingeravtrykk og mikroriper er den vanligste verdikilleren, og de kommer i det øyeblikket du håndterer kortet ubeskyttet.
Toploader eller binder
Kort du skal omsette eller gradere går i toploader; samlinger du blar i går i binder med sidelastede lommer. Aldri topplastede lommer i ringperm — kortene glir ut.
Skrin, mørke og stabilt klima
Oppbevar mørkt, tørt og stabilt: 40–55 % luftfuktighet og unna yttervegg. Treskrin med lokk beskytter mot både lys og støv — og ser bedre ut enn pappesker.
Forseglede bokser: ikke rør seglet
Uåpnet vare med intakt segl er verdt mest. Oppbevar boksen i original krympeplast, gjerne i beskyttende case, og løft aldri i plasten.
A gift to a beginning of life
Confirmation marks the transition from child to young adult — and with that comes an expectation of a gift that is more than an everyday item. A Royal Selangor pewter gift is not only beautiful when unwrapped: it is designed to be just as valuable in 20, 40 and 60 years. There are few other gift choices that can claim the same.
The transition to adulthood
Confirmation marks an important transition. Give a gift that lasts as long as the memories of the day.
Personalize with name and date
Engraving of the confirmatory's name, confirmation date and a personal message makes the gift unique.
A craft to show off
A Royal Selangor confirmation gift is something the confirmant likes to show off — not hide away.
Lasts a lifetime
A piece of pewter from the confirmation can become the heirloom the confirmant one day gives to his own children.
What makes pewter the perfect confirmation gift?
Durability: Royal Selangor pewter does not corrode, rust or lose its shape. A piece bought today may well be handed down to the confirmand and passed on in the family.
Personalisation: The confirmation gift should bear the name of the confirmand and the date. With Royal Selangor pewter engraving, this is done with precision — and the inscriptions are permanent.
Symbolic value: Pewter has for centuries symbolized lasting value and craft culture. To give a Royal Selangor piece is to say, "This is a gift that I have thought carefully about — and it will last."
Best gift ideas for the confirmant
Tin picture frame — to preserve a picture from the big day. Many Royal Selangor frames hold two photos and are suitable for engraving on the frame.
Sparebox / coin box — a classic gift for confirmation. Royal Selangor's coin boxes are elegant collectibles that can be used actively to start saving.
Mug or goblet — for graduates who like design and aesthetics. A personalized pewter mug is a gift they actually use.
Collectible object — from the pop culture range: Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel or Disney — depending on the interests of the confirmand. A tin license object from RS is something they show off to friends.
A confirmation gift in tin is not for the confirmation — it is for the person the confirmatory will become.

Engraving text for the confirmation gift
Here are some suggestions for inscription:
"[Name] — confirmed [date]. With love from [giver]"
"Congratulations on your graduation. You are ready for what lies ahead."
"For a young man/lady with his whole life ahead of him — [date]"
Keep the text concise and personal. Avoid clichés — what is specific and concrete will be appreciated by the confirmand in 20 years.
Price and budget guide
Royal Selangor offers pieces in all price ranges. For confirmation gifts, we recommend staying in the range of NOK 500-2,000, depending on the relationship with the person confirming. Grandparents, godparents and close family members tend to give in the upper part of the interval — friends and more distant acquaintances in the lower part.
Remember that engraving costs a little extra and takes 3–5 working days — order well in advance!
