Christian Gift Suggestions

Those looking for Christian gift ideas have many options to choose from.

Gifts that support the Christian faith of the recipient or honor the shared faith of the giver and the recipient provide a special way to touch someone's life. Christian gifts take many forms, including handmade gifts or those you buy. Christian bookstores carry various options, and great ideas are also available in department stores.

Lap Throws

Many lap throws feature a Christian theme. Look for throws displaying scriptures such as the Lord's Prayer, 1 Corinthians: 13 or Psalm 23. Other options include Thomas Kinkade tapestries, angel tapestries and tapestries portraying Jesus. These decorative lap throws honor the faith of the recipient and keep her warm and comfortable on a cold evening.

Books

From fiction to Bibles and devotionals to Christian living topics, many different gift options for a friend or family member are available in the Christian section of most bookstores and religious stores. Some of these options include gifts for men, women and couples such as "The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian, "Point Man: How a Man Can Lead His Family" by Steve Farrar and "Night Light: A Devotional for Couples" by James and Shirley Dobson.

Christian books on overcoming adversity, living with joy and finding your purpose give practical suggestions to those seeking advice. Various books such as Steve Chapman's "5 Languages of Love" and Willard Harley's "His Needs, Her Needs" offer advice on Christian marriage.

Art and Decor

Christian wall art offers many choices for gift giving. Whether you seek a Thomas Kinkade framed print, a wall cross, an inspirational plaque or Christian décor such as mirrors or shelves, there are options any family member or friend will love. Make your selection from a wide range of prices that as of March 2011 start at $15. Some merchants offer personalization to make your gifts more special.

Games

Christian games offer entertainment that honors Biblical values. Select Christian versions of board games such as Pictionary, Monopoly and trivia. Some games, such as Life of Christ and Dragon Raid, teach as well as entertain by asking game players to identify events in the life of Jesus or to find spiritual truths in Biblical principles. For kids as young as 3, "Veggie Tales" offers versions of card games like Jonah Fishing and Flip and Find pair matching.

The Christian electronic game field also offers various options for gift giving. Guitar Praise and Heavenly Harmony Karaoke use Christian music. The Bible Game, Interactive Parables and The Beginner's Bible teach scripture and Biblical truths. Truth Seeker and Bibleman offer action game style entertainment for your computer.
