A fun list of 23 unique gifts for Christian moms to show your appreciation and brighten her day.
Shopping for my mom has always brought me joy. Finding her the perfect gift, however, isn’t always so easy. Each year that Mother’s Day, her birthday, or Christmas rolls around I spend days searching for the perfect gift to show her my love and appreciation.
My mother’s wisdom, guidance, advice and patience mean more to me than she will ever know. She is my best friend and an incredible blessing. Her loving Christ like example is also what led me to begin a personal relationship with my Savior as a teenager.

Shopping for ladies, overall, is typically a pretty simple process. We’re easy to buy for and have many similar interests. I mean you can never go wrong with chocolate, my friend! However, shopping for that one particular special lady, the one who has made so many sacrifices on our behalf and has loved us through life’s emotional highs and lows, can be a challenge.
To sum it all up- moms are some amazing people who get far less credit than they deserve. And although a note of appreciation or gift is more than acceptable at any time of the year, those special holidays are an opportunity for us to share with them just how much they mean to us. Whether you’re looking for a Christian mother’s day gift, birthday gift, or just a sweet gift to say “thank you”, I think it’s safe to say that any thoughful gesture is sure to bring a smile to her face!
Gifts For Christian Moms
Below I’ve listed some more out of the box (no pun intended 😉 ) gifts for Christian moms, with all price ranges in mind. Some of my own favorites to purchase or make for my mom, some of her favorites, and a couple of ideas that I’ve yet to use.
1. A Bible Study
A Bible study could be the perfect gift for Christan moms and women no matter what phase of life they’re in.
I discovered The Daily Grace Company a couple of years ago and they have an amazing selection of over 100 Biblically solid resources out there to encourage women in their faith.
I recently finished a study on the classic hymns. Many of the men and women who penned these famous hymns suffered great tragedies, and yet their faith was immensely strengthened through it all.
2. “Jesus” Lightweight Hoodie
This pretty floral sweatshirt comes in a variety of colors and is the perfect layering lightweight sweatshirt for chilly days!
3. ESV Study Bible
As an owner of the ESV Study Bible I can attest to the helpful study notes throughout! Maps, descriptions, timelines, cross references, and verse by verse notes are a great companion to personal study of Scripture.
The Malory Hollow theme by Hosanna Revival adds the perfect feminine floral touch!
4. Mustard Seed Necklace- Gifts for Christian Moms
The beautiful mustard seed necklace is handmade in the USA by a Texas artisan. A simple reminder from our Savior to rest in Him and trust in His promises.
“For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) ESV
5. Home Decor
This idea is a new favorite of mine! A simple or meaningful piece of home decor, like this bird print with the reminder of Matthew 6:26 can be the perfect gift for Christian moms and women. You know her style and favorites!
Chistian wall art, a pretty throw pillow, or a cozy chunky knit blanket are wonderful options that can be tailored specifically to her interests and tastes.

6. Devotedly By Valerie Elliot Shephard
Devotedly is pure gold! Jim and Elisabeth Elliot’s story is honestly one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever heard. Both were missionaries to the Auca indians in the 1950s.
Tragically, Jim and four other men were savagely killed by the very people they were trying to reach. This book was recently compiled by their only daughter, Valerie, made up of letters from their early courting days. Truly an incredible story of two lives whole-heartedly devoted to their Maker with a love so deep and pure for one another.
7. Jewelry from Starfish Project
100% of the proceeds from Starfish Project go towards helping women and girls escape from human trafficking in Asia. They have a beautiful collection of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings made from the finest stones, pearls, gold and silver at an affordable cost.
8. Scripture Lullabies Music
Music can be incredibly powerful. Hidden In My Heart is one of 3 volumes in this beautiful collection. Each is filled with Scripture to help calm anxiety and turn our thoughts back on our Savior. The creators of Scripture Lullabies also recently released two piano albums titled “Quietly” and “Lighthouse” if you’re looking for some soothing background or nighttime music.
9. Morning Sunrise Hymns by Tim Janis
Tim Janis’s work is simply beautiful! Soft orchestra music blends perfectly with the sweet sounds of nature in Morning Sunrise with hymns such as “Be Thou My Vision”, “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”, and “Amazing Grace” to name a few.
Tim’s music has helped millions who suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
(FYI You can also listen to extended versions of some of these songs for free on YouTube!)
10. Take A Trip Together
Another gift idea for Christian moms is to take her on a special trip. A concert, retreat, hiking/biking trip, shopping and dining outing, hands on art studio, or candle making shop are all fun options. Make it fun and memorable!
11. Tea For One Set- Gifts for Christian Moms
This ceramic tea pot and mug combo is the perfect Christian gift for moms who enjoy a warm cup to start their day!
If you’re on the hunt for some tasty loose leaf tea, I’d encourage you to check out Little Prayer Tea Co. or Out Of the Grey Coffee. Both offer premium options from around the world that are sure to please your taste buds!
12. Specialty Coffee or Tea with a Beautiful New Mug
Out of the Grey Coffee is a Christian based company sourcing specialty flavored, artisan blend, and fair trade coffee from around the world. They also offer several loose leaf tea options to please any palette.
The Daily Grace Co. has a variety of lovely coffee mugs and tumblers that make the perfect gift!
13. The Mark Of The Lion Series Gift Collection
This one is for all of the readers out there! Francine Rivers is an incredibly talented New York Times bestselling author. In this popular trilogy you’ll read the stories of Hadassah, Marcus, and Atretes of first century Rome and follow them along their journeys of faith and freedom.
14. Beholding and Becoming By Ruth Chou Simons
Ruth is a gifted painter and writer with a desire to point women toward their Savior. Beholding and Becoming gently pokes and prods our hearts to move towards worship throughout every day not just on Sundays.
Her eloquant words convict yet encourage in a way that leaves you refreshed and longing for more.
15. Succulent Planter Set
I remember hearing once that houseplants make people happy- and there’s actually research to back it up! Just 20 minutes of plant exposure a day can boost our mood.
This little Bible verse succulent planter set comes with 6 pots ready to fill!
16. Gift Basket of Her Favorites
A personalized gift basket made up of some of her favorites may just make the perfect Christian gift for Mom!
My mom actually did this one for me one year and her thoughtfulness truly warmed my heart. She put together a basket made up of my favorite health and beauty items (lip balm, lotion, soap, etc.) to make it extra special.
It doesn’t just have to be health and beauty related. Just gather together some of your mom’s favorites- could be chocolate, a book, water bottle, cookbook, bubble bath, gardening supplies, fitness gear etc. Think of her hobbies and surprise her to let her know you’ve been paying attention to the details =)
17. Hope’s Table Cookbook
My mother in law gifted me with the Hope’s Table cookbook for my birthday this year and it doesn’t dissapoint!
Most recipes are traditional homecooked Mennonite meals, but the ingredients can easily be swapped out for those that follow a special diet.
18. Chocolate
You can never go wrong with chocolate! I’ve yet to meet a lady who doesn’t enjoy a tasty sweet treat from time to time.
Hu Chocolate and Endangered Species are a couple of my favorite chocolates! Both are organic, fair trade, and offer milk and dark chocolate varieties.
Most of Hu’s are even Paleo! And Endangered species also donates 10% of their annual proceeds to support wildlife conservation. These may just be the perfect addition to a gift basket 😉
18. Cutting Board
A handcrafted cutting board may be the perfect gift for the Christian mom who loves to cook!
19. Prayer Journal- Gifts for Christian Moms
Several years ago I began to see the importance of keeping a prayer journal. It is truly humbling to go back and look over prayers that have been laid on your heart, in months and years past and clearly see God’s gracious answers.
These answered prayers provide stability when our faith seems to falter, and offer hope when life becomes overwhelming. God is faithful.
20. Soy Jar Candle from 1133 Candles
There’s something special about a lovely aroma wafting throughout the house. A pleasant scent can easily uplift our mood, calm anxiety, and help us relax. These non-toxic soy candles from 1133 Candles are hand poured in the USA and the perfect reminder of our identity in Christ.
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.” Luke 11:33
21. DIY Picture Collage
A mother never outgrows her desire to receive handmade gifts from her children. A photo collage is such a simple and inexpensive way to preserve sweet memories.
A few years ago I collected some old photos of my mom and I from the time I was a baby and young girl. (I actually borrowed and copied these from relatives, so they weren’t photos in my mom’s collection.) I found an old picture frame, removed the glass, and spray painted it. Then I added some flowers and pearls along the corners to decorate it, 3 rows of twine, and tiny clothespins to hang the photos on. I loved seeing my mom’s face light up in surprise upon seeing some photos that evoked memories she had long forgotten.
22. Planner- Gifts for Christian Moms
This is a great gift for the Christian mom who is a planner! In our fast paced society it is all too easy to allow busyness to crowd out what is most important in life. The beautiful Faithful First Planner helps to keep you on track while setting realistic goals and habits related to your faith walk and encouraging you to make time in God’s Word a priority.
23. Eden To Eternity: The Chronological Story of Scripture
This beautiful 4 volume set guides you through the Bible in a year in chronological order allowing you to see through fresh eyes God’s story of redemption from beginning to end.
I hope that this list of gifts for Christian moms is helpful for you! Just put a little thought into it and let her know how much you appreciate her sacrifices and love.

One of my favorite things about Christian gifts is the ability to personalize them for each recipient. Whether it’s a custom Bible cover or a personalized wall art, these gifts show that you truly care about the person and their faith journey. It’s a wonderful way to spread love and encouragement.
