29 Sweet Christian Gift Ideas for Millennial Moms

Mothers are incredible beings: strong, resilient, passionate, and protective. Can we also talk about how sacrificial mothers can be? No one does it better than a mother. Seriously, God did make us, especially for the human race.

When it comes to celebrating your mother or the fellow moms in your life, I believe in going all out! And it should be done intentionally, from finding the perfect Christian gift idea to wrapping and presenting it. You can surprise her with these gifts on her birthday, mother’s day, international women’s day, a baby shower, or even on random days.

Mothers do so much work, and it’s crucial to remind them of how much they’re loved and appreciated. 

It wasn’t easy trying to curate a list of the best Christian gift ideas to get for your mother, but I was able to shortlist 29 ideas that are sure to make her smile and remind her of her faith.

Importance of giving gifts

We should give gifts constantly, and to people we love. It goes beyond just buying something expensive; it involves you knowing what matters to the person, giving them that thing or something related, and finding a way to remind them that they are loved.

Giving gifts also helps you be intentional about the ones you love and opens up a way for you to show appreciation for their efforts and presence in your life.

Christian Gift Ideas for Moms

I don’t want you to get stuck on gift ideas to give your mom, so I curated a list for you. Keep in mind that whatever you are gifting your mom should be something that reminds her of her faith, encourages her, and shows your love and appreciation. So, your gift might be a bit different from my list because you might need to be a bit more personal. 

Either way, I hope you get the inspiration you need, and at the end of the post, I will share the tips for presenting your gift.

T-shirts

Plain tees in her favorite color and with her favorite quote are always a best-selling gift idea. 

Sweatshirts

Same idea as the T-shirt. Include quotes from her favorite verses that will bring a smile to her face when she looks in the mirror.

Books

You can get Christian motivational books for women, Christian novels, and devotionals for women to provide your mother with motivation, encouragement, and inspiration for the rest of the year. Here are some authors to look out for:

• Francine Rivers
• Priscilla Shirer
• Karen Kingsbury
• Lysa TerKeurst

Jewelry

Trust me; your mom will appreciate a piece of jewelry to add to her collections. Moreover, you can engrave these jewelry pieces with a favorite verse or even her name.

Devotionals

When you download her favorite audio or video devotional or buy her a hardcover version of her favorite devotional, I believe you will see the widest smile on her lips.

Prayer Journals

A journal she can use to keep track of her prayer points and answered prayers? Keep a track record of God’s faithfulness in her life every day? Yes, please! She’ll love it.

Study journals

These are journals used for scripture study. Make sure to insert a handwritten note on the first page.

Bookmark

Get her a personalized bookmark with a bible verse that will make her remember that God thinks of her daily. This gift will help her keep calm and maintain her faith in God while reading her favorite book or flipping through the Bible.

Charms

You can get your mother charms she can attach to her bracelet. Add in a bible verse, and you have the perfect gift idea for her.

Scented candles

Who doesn’t like a fresh, fruity scent to fill the room on cold days? You can also attach a sweet message and engrave it on the candle glass.

Dinner Sets

Dinner sets such as plates, cups, spoons, and even oven gloves imprinted with encouraging words like ‘joy,’ ‘faith,’ and ‘love’ are also great gift ideas. You could also have bible references and quotes imprinted on the sets, something peculiar to her.

Placemats

Placemats with words and quotes that have a deep meaning will remind her of the love surrounding her.

Kitchen runners

This gift is perfect for imprinting a sweet message. Imagine your mother smiling while she is washing the dishes or waiting for the casserole to be ready.

Mugs

You can customize a mug by adding a picture, a quote, animation, and even her name. You might also want to experiment by adding a scene from her favorite bible story. Nice right?

Water bottles

She’ll probably hold this when going out to meet friends or when she works out either at the gym or in the backyard. You want to customize it with something memorable and dear to her.

Quilts

Who doesn’t want to be wrapped warmly with a lovely quilt and their favorite words? Customize the quilt with words of encouragement, her favorite bible reference, or even a prayer she’s fond of making.

Flowers

Her favorite flower in a customized vase? How smart!

Framed quotes

I like this idea because it lasts for a long time, and you can position it in a place where she’ll constantly see it. It could be her favorite Jesus word from the Bible, her heartfelt prayer (you might want to ask Dad), or her favorite quote from a Christian novel.

Jigsaw Puzzle

The hours of arranging a Jigsaw puzzle are so rewarding when you see the final results. Get your mom a customized Jigsaw puzzle: maybe her picture or a scripture reference.

Subscription

Subscribe to a Christian podcast for her, a Christian community, Pure Flix, or a Faithbox subscription. This act will make her happy and show how much you love her and pay attention to the things she loves.

Phone cases

A faith-promoting customized phone case will make mirror selfies more meaningful and memorable for her.

Bible cover case

Getting a Bible cover with a beautiful landscape view or a customized case for her will make her feel loved.

Keyholders

Keyholders with bible quotes that reflect God’s love messages are epic gift ideas for her.

Concert tickets

Does she love Elevation? Maverick City? Lauren Daigle or Gaither? 

If you can get concert tickets (if any is going on) or maybe get the songs of her favorite Christian artist(s) in a playlist, that alone is one of the best gifts you can give your mom.

Bible Study materials

Journaling kits she can use to highlight her favorite verses, a writing pen, and even the perfect jotter to write in her study takeaways are among the nicest gifts you can give your Christian mom.

Throw pillows

Customized throw pillows with encouraging words are a sure and good enough gift for her.

Skincare set

I know she cares about her skin. So, help her mirror the glow she feels from within on the outside. 

Tote bags

Chic and sturdy tote bags customized with her name and meaning will be lovely. You can customize it uniquely for her.

Bible

Yes! Getting your Christian mom a Bible will make her happy. I feel like we get so worked up over the best birthday gift that we forget the most valuable of all – The B-I-B-L-E. This gift might just be what she wants.

Special Bible Verses to Celebrate and Encourage Your Mom

• Always personalize it. 
• Present it on a typical day.
• Put it somewhere she least expects, like in the kitchen, on her favorite chair, or right by the bed stand.

• Pretend and let her wonder for a while.
• Hug her.
