Christian Gifts for the Holidays

What better time to offer a Christian gift than during the time we celebrate the birth of Christ? Nativity sets abound at this time of year, and so many different varieties are available that it’s impossible to touch on all of them here. There are traditional wood and ceramic sets, with faux straw and stable animals. There are extremely modern-looking glass versions of the nativity. Musical handcrafted olive wood imported from Bethlehem holds special significance when carved into images of Jesus, animals, Mary and Joseph.  There are also versions of the nativity in white porcelain or earthenware, and snowman, Peanuts characters and Precious Moments nativity sets, as well as a Thomas Kincaid version. These sets are available in small sizes perfect for under the Christmas tree or set on a mantel. There are also life size versions available for use in your yard, and individual pieces for living nativity arrangements at churches or other public venues. Another great gift for Christmas is a crucifix if the recipient is Catholic. The crucifix is the cross depicting Jesus Christ’s death, and is the religious symbol for those of the Catholic faith all around the world.  There are crucifix versions offered suitable for hanging on the wall of a home, and beautiful pieces of jewelry to suit any Catholic. For others, there are all types of crosses available from Christian Store. Crosses are the primary Christian symbol, are extremely prevalent, and are seen far and wide. These beautiful symbols can be given to an individual to fit into their home décor, especially if they already prefer a certain type. Likewise, personal pendants of precious stones and gold or silver will become favored pieces of jewelry and perhaps even heirlooms to pass on.

Christian Gifts for First Communion

Young Catholics reach a milestone in their lives when they first receive Holy Communion. This is a solemn ritual in the Catholic faith and is celebrated with a big party and presentation of gifts. As these young people accept Communion for the first time in their lives, it means that they accept Jesus and the Christian faith, and that they understand the reason for Communion and the symbolism involved.  When any child close to you has their first Holy Communion, take the time to choose and bestow a gift of faith that they will cherish forever. This type of gift serves to remind the child of the relationship with God that they have just established by way of Holy Communion. Treasured keepsake gifts for first communion can be wall crosses, jewelry, photo frames, Bibles and other religious books, and even special pillows. Photo frames are typically white and embellished with some gilt printing, perhaps their name and the date engraved for a lifetime keepsake of the occasion. Wall crosses of all types are appropriate, but consider the young person’s room décor when choosing one. A beautiful leather bound Bible engraved with their name will go with them wherever their life may take them. A special piece of jewelry, like a crucifix or cross made of durable materials will become something that they never remove. A beautiful Rosary chain will be used continuously as they grow in their faith. There are many unique gifts offered. One is a western-inspired watch that has a cross as a face, and is adorned with crystals. The band also has crystals riveted to it, and it’s finished off with a bright silver buckle embellished with still more crystals. This option is a very affordable gift that looks much more expensive than it is. Another unique item is a necklace engraved with the 23 Psalm, so that it is always right at hand for them to look at in times of temptation. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want….”  Each of these beautiful handcrafted necklaces comes with a card that explains the history of the inscription and its significance in Christianity. Ichthus jewelry, or the Christian fish, as it is commonly known, is gaining significantly in popularity. The Ichthus helped Christians to identify each other in times of persecution, and is one of the prime symbols of Christianity today. The jewelry available with the symbol is truly unlimited: necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets are all available. A beautiful gold or sterling cross will be cherished by any young person making their first communion. There are masculine versions and decidedly feminine versions available. Purchase a high quality piece and it will likely be passed on to the children of your recipient upon their first communion. An especially endearing piece of cross jewelry for a young girl is a locket with a cross on the front and room for her communion picture inside. Complete the wow factor for her by engraving her name and the date of her communion on the back.

Christian Gifts for Weddings

Typical wedding gifts are nice, but often forgettable. When you want your gift to be something truly different that they will cherish, look no further than Christian gifts. Beautiful, distinctive, and truly inspiring gifts will undoubtedly take a place of prominence in the Christian recipient’s home and not be relegated to a closet. These types of gifts, like wall crosses, embroidered linens with house blessings, pottery with engraved scripture, and other unique items are beautiful and classic pieces to add to the new family’s home. Adding engraved scripture to a purchased piece is also quite popular, and you can search for the exact phrase you’d like included on many. This can be done with personalized clocks, crosses and other pieces that the couple will enjoy. Unique clocks with simple scripture on the face of the clock are nice additions to the wall décor of any newlyweds. An uncomplicated design and beautiful sentiment from Joshua 24:15, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” or Psalm 37:7, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him” will make timely and blessed gifts for the couple. Perhaps no personalized gift offers more tradition and sentiment than a Bible to commemorate the union and the beginning of a brand new family.  You can buy a traditional leather-bound Bible with the couple’s name engraved and places for a Family Record that is sure to grow. There are also New King James Version Bibles that are easier to understand but still with the nice poetic sound, that also have pictures by Thomas Kinkade within their pages. These Bibles, called “Lighting the Way Home”, are the most beautiful you’ll ever see, and the wedding version even has an heirloom wedding photo frame inside its front cover. There are also gift sets available for Catholic weddings that combine a number of traditions, and present them in a willow basket for the newlyweds. Included in these gifts are typically a leather Bible, sets of Rosary beads, a nice wedding blessing photo frame, and a freestanding or wall hanging crucifix. Other Christian books pertaining to marriage and relationships can be added, as well as different types of jewelry, perhaps complementary crosses. Framed prints featuring scripture, favorite prayers, or a combination of those and a personalized print are also excellent gifts for newlyweds.

Christian Inspiration

In times of trouble, a little extra reminder of God’s love can help people weather the storm. Inspirational photo frames keep the recipient connected to the loved ones pictured, and to God with a quick scripture quote. These are great pieces to add to a work desk or bedside table to keep close at hand.  Some frames have scripture verses engraved on them, and one pertinent phrase to add is Psalm 81:4, “God has given us these times of joy”. Sterling silver bangle bracelets engraved with the Bible’s words of wisdom are great gifts for those going through tribulations. Available scripture phrases are Philippians 4:13, “All things through Christ” and I Corinthians 13:13, “Faith, Hope and Love.”  Another popular inspirational piece, a silver bangle with the Serenity Prayer often helps people to move forward by being reminded of the wonderful future there is in Christ. How about Matthew 19:26, “With God all things are possible” or Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd” to inspire a friend or family member going through dark times? The “I Carried You… Footprints bracelet” brings a reminder of this inspiring poem. It is a beaded bracelet with rectangular beads that read, “I carried you”, and a set of footprints dangling from it. The bracelet is made in a stretch band design for perfect fit and easy wear. An elegantly framed inspirational poem or prayer can lift the spirits of the downtrodden. There are no limits as to the types of frames and the words of inspiration. You can choose something that you love or pick something that is very personal to the gift recipient you’re trying to help.

Christian Home Schooling Products

Many Christian families have decided to home school their children for a number of different reasons, and often gifts will inspire the children to higher levels of learning, including complete curriculums for each grade level from kindergarten through 12. The beauty of home schooling is that students can learn at their own pace, even if that is much more quickly than the annual grade levels at traditional schools. There are home school T-shirts that proclaim you and your children happily schooled away from school, with lots of witty sayings. These are especially useful for those times when the children need to run errands with you different school hours, so that people won’t stare or wonder why your kids are playing hooky. Literature gifts are excellent for home schooled Christian children. Special books that explain the meaning and history of the faith are especially well received.
