Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.
This week's question
I have been asked to be a godparent, although in truth I'm a bit of an atheist and was rather surprised to be asked. What is an appropriate gift to buy? Do I even have to buy anything? I'm hardly going to be the child's religious guide. The mother is a good friend – should I feel honoured, or should I try and back out?
What are your thoughts?
