If you’ve ever spent hours (or days) trying to find the perfect gift for someone close to you, then you understand there’s a certain art to gift-giving. Finding the right present is even more difficult when you’re shopping for someone devout in their faith because you don’t want to get them anything that goes against their beliefs.
Of course, the most important thing is the thought that goes into a present, but you also want to make sure you get your Christian friend a gift they can use and enjoy. That’s why we’ve put together a brief list of great gift ideas for your Christain friend.
Essential Oils
Christians have used oils for anointing for over a thousand years. With the growth of holistic wellness in recent years, essential oils have become even more popular, especially among teen girls and young women. Oils that the Bible mentions, such as frankincense and myrrh, are among the most popular.
If you shop online, you can find essential oils set with various oils, from peppermint to eucalyptus. Research different oils to learn about their health benefits, scents, and other characteristics.
Bible Concordance or Christian Self-Help Book
Bible study is an essential part of the growing process in the Christian faith. A concordance is an excellent companion for Bible studies that will enable them to find specific passages more quickly, help them become more familiar with how to properly read and study God’s Word, and more.
A self-help book from a heralded Christian author like Max Lucado, John MacArthur, or Beth Moore also makes a great gift. These books provide practical solutions for today’s issues based on scripture and can help inspire your friend to tap into their full potential. Books like “Transformative Encounters” and “Women of the Bible” pose good questions for adult bible study groups and even small group studies for youth outreach programs. Indeed, the right book will be an excellent help to your friend on their path of discipleship and devotion to Jesus Christ.
Tickets to a Conference
If you’ve ever been to a weekend-long Christian conference, you know they can be a blast. Some of the most renowned ministers from around the world teach and pray for others at these revival-style events, and top Christian recording artists often serve as the praise and worship leaders. The most important thing about these conferences is they give followers of Jesus Christ from all over the world the opportunity to worship, fellowship, and learn together. Come to think of it, you might want to get yourself a ticket, too!
Mission Trip Sponsorship
Going on a mission trip is a great experience for young adults learning to share their faith. Mission trips give Christians the chance to live God’s Word by going to different areas of the globe and spreading the message of Jesus Christ. They’ll get to serve less fortunate communities and provide food, education, shelter, and the Gospel.
Ultimately, the point of gift-giving is showing people you care about that they’re on your mind, so you can’t go wrong with any gift that comes from the heart. Many Christian teen girls and young women have fallen in love with essential oils, making them great gifts. A Bible concordance or Christian self-help book is an excellent gift for a young adult serious about Bible study. You can also get them tickets to a conference or sponsor a mission trip if you want to provide them with an unforgettable experience.
All the gifts we mentioned in this article are sure to bring a smile to your Christian friend’s face. However, you have as much reason to smile, as God’s Word tells us that it’s “more blessed to give than to receive.” But in the end, the most important thing is your friend knows you respect and honor the path they’ve chosen for their life.
