The christening was attended by Melanie C, Posh – and about 100 other people.

Well – he wisked Victoria away to Paris, for a 12 hour trip, of course!  The cost?  A whopping $220,462!

After arriving in Paris at about 4pm yesterday, the pair went shopping, looking at jewellery, cameras and – obviously – clothes.

They reportedly spent $140,294 at several shops in the trendy Marais district.

Beckham, 31, had spent weeks organising private sessions at the showrooms of designers including Christian Louboutin, where Posh snapped up a pair of made-to-measure heels for $3,006.

He then took her to one of her favourites, Azzedine Alaia to select a $14,029.40 dress (in picture).

Their suite at the Ritz, and hiring the renowned Guy Savoy restaurant so they could dine alone would have set Beckham back another $30,063. The Real Madrid star sprang the surprise trip after a training session with the Spanish club.

Victoria had only been expecting lunch in Madrid, but instead he drove her to the airport where he had spent $50,105 on a private jet.

A source said: “Victoria was overwhelmed. She thought she was going to have a Chinese meal with David and the boys.”

After dinner the couple retired to their suite at 1am – but they were back at Paris’s Bourget airport at 4am for the flight back to Madrid.

Now THAT’S a birthday.

They make one hot couple…gotta say.

BFF’s Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham are hatching a plan to combine their twin obsessions – fashion and kids – and launch a line of baby clothes.

“Katie drew sketches of a dress she wanted Suri to wear on her birthday, and they discussed it over a glass of wine,” a source close to Beckham, 33, says.

And though Holmes’ rep says, “Katie is not starting a clothing company,” the source insists “they’ve been talking about it for months.”

The pair even want to enlist a pro from Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. line to help, adds the pal.

And apparently Holmes, 28, knows her way around a sewing kit: An employee of L.A.’s International Silk & Woolens says, “Katie comes in all the time. She makes pillows, curtains and all kinds of decorations for her home.”

Victoria and David Beckham are still looking for a home in California – because the couple refuse to overpay for a house whose price has been jacked up simply because the famous pair is interested in the property.

“It’s pretty hard to keep identities secret when you are interested in multimillion-dollar mansions,” a source close to the pair tells PEOPLE. “Once sellers find out who’s interested in buying, the prices skyrocket. It’s ridiculous.”

As a result, says the source. “Victoria and David have still not decided on a house for when they move to L.A. … They refuse to pay above the odds just because they are famous.”

In January it was announced that the Beckhams would move to California after the former English soccer captain, 31, signed a lucrative five-year deal with the L.A. Galaxy.

Since then Victoria, the former Posh Spice, 32, has made several trips to the west coast to check on possible homes for themselves and private schools for sons Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 4 and Cruz, 2.

Although schools have been narrowed down, the family is struggling to find a suitable mansion. “They will definitely buy in or around Beverly Hills. It makes sense for them,” says the source. “But they will not pay an excess purely because of who they are. They are careful with their money.”

Reps for the couple were not immediately available for comment.

“They don’t want to get stuck in bidding wars. One mansion recently went up by millions once the owner found out the Beckhams were interested,” says the source. “The problem, is they need a big house.”

Wherever they land will be recorded for TV cameras, since Victoria has signed to star in a six-part, NBC reality show that will coincide with the family’s move to L.A.

“They have a lot of work to do before David finishes playing soccer in Spain,” says the source. “Their house in Madrid needs to be sold before they move in July.”

With their matching do’s of course.
