Jewelry

Whether in a necklace, ring, bracelet or earrings, many people display symbols of their faith as jewelry. It's a subtle way of declaring their faith, and for many this jewelry is also a reminder of the person who gave it to them. Whether it's a simple gold cross or star of David, a silver pentagram or a bracelet that depicts the eye of Horus, the symbol and the jewelry can be chosen to fit the faith and style preferences of the gift recipient.
Altar Decoration
-
Many people who hold strong beliefs set up an altar in their home for prayers and offerings. One gift idea is an object to display on the altar. For Catholics, a crucifix that hangs on the wall above the altar might be appropriate. Alternatively, a symbol of the three moons or a pentacle might be appropriate for someone who's Wiccan.

Clothing
-
Whether it's a simple T-shirt, a ball cap, a jacket or a belt buckle, numerous articles of clothing can display a symbol of faith. For instance, a T-shirt that bears original quotes from the Quran, in the native Arabic, might be an appropriate gift for a Muslim. A jacket that bears an image of Shiva or Ganesh might be appropriate for a Hindu who feels a particular connection to a certain god.
Tattoos
-
Those with deep religious convictions might want to display them on their body with a tattoo. Whether you contribute monetarily, help design the tattoo or just sit with your friend as he gets inked, you can help make a symbol of faith into something permanent.
