Christian Gift

Finding a nice gift is difficult, finding a relevant gift is more difficult, and finding a relevant, meaningful gift is nearly impossible. Everyone has been in this situation, whether they are just too indecisive or they know one of those people that are "just impossible to shop for." Below are a few Christian gift ideas that I find to be thoughtful, meaningful, and relevant.

Naturally, the Bible is the ultimate gift to give to a Christian. Not only is there a large variety of them available such as life application bibles, student bibles, and chronological bibles, but there are also companies out there that can customize them so they have the person's name embossed on them.

This adds a great personal touch to an already powerful gift. Giving a Bible to someone as a gift is giving someone the cornerstone and foundation of our faith. This is definitely a great gift to consider when you're shopping for the perfect gift.

Some might think that this isn't a very thoughtful idea, but books relative to that person's situation is a very thoughtful and important thing. For someone struggling in their marriage you might want to purchase them The 5 Love Languages By Dr. Gary Chapman or The Love Dare by The Kendrick Brothers.

For someone who is struggling in their walk with God you might suggest Crazy Love by Pastor Francis Chan, for someone struggling with a seemingly impossible task you might suggest Fearless by Max Lucado. For someone who is just peachy and would like a good read you might suggest The Unfinished Gift by Dan Walsh.

Some people find books to be a sterile and impersonal gift to give someone but If you purchase a book with a person specifically in mind then that is a very thoughtful thing. What is not thoughtful is thinking of someone and saying "I'll just get them a book."  We must not forget that some of the most influential people in the world were first inspired to be great by books they had read that touched them.

There are many beautiful and inspirational works of art available that will brighten up any home. Lifeway Stores have a wonderful selection of Christian artwork that are all made in America.  Having one of these pictures placed in the right place can do wonders for a room and be a constant reminder to all who enter who the Savior is.

Sometimes a good song is just the thing a person needs to lift their spirits or to get the day started.  Getting them the music they enjoy can speak volumes about your attentiveness.  It shows that you know what they listen to and you have paid attention to find out which artists they like.

There is the slight possibilty that you may not know what style of music they like, which artist they prefer, or maybe you don't want to buy a CD from a single artist.  In this situation you may want to consider a giftcard to Amazon.com or Christianbook.com so they can choose which songs they want to download.

This gift is basically a donation to a specific charity in the honor, or name of the person the gift is for.  This is an interesting gift idea and it is not advisable for everyone, but if the person in your life feels strongly about a certain charity or cause, then they just might be tickled by this gift idea.  There have been studies that indicate that people, generally, dislike this gift idea but only you will actually know if the recipient will like it or not.
