Christian Gifts for Daughters

Your daughter's favorite gifts will vary over time, but some gift options are timeless. Gifts that support her faith can get her through sad and happy times, and times in between. Your gift can help encourage her faith and help her grow spiritually, and perhaps provide an opportunity for you to share your faith together.

  1. Books

    • A Bible is always an appropriate gift for Christians, and options are tailored to ages, interests and levels of study. If she doesn̵7;t need a Bible, consider devotional books, Bible study materials such as a concordance or a Bible dictionary, subscriptions to Christian magazines or Christian fiction and nonfiction -- with a message from you on the flyleaf. If you want something with a more personal touch, get your daughter a Bible cover with her name embroidered or embossed on it or a prayer journal where she can record her prayer concerns and the answers to those prayers.

    Jewelry

    • Christian jewelry comes in many styles and designs. You can get your daughter a tree of life charm with birthstones for everyone in the family or a cross with her name and date engraved on the back. If your daughter is Catholic, a rosary or crucifix could encourage her faith and prayer life and could be useful for her to carry when she marries. A locket with a picture of you and her together and a Christian symbol on the outside of the locket and the date engraved on the back are also gifts your daughter might enjoy for any occasion.

    Art

    • Christian art can decorate your daughter̵7;s room at home, when she goes off to college, or when she begins decorating her home. For a young daughter, a picture of Jesus or an angel watching over her bed could help her sleep better at night. Wall hangings with her favorite scripture or prayer can bring her peace, especially if you embroidered or cross-stitched the wall hanging for her. A scripture quilt to toss across her bed or curl up with when studying or reading can remind her that you hold her in your heart always, if not in your arms at that moment.

    Travel Gifts

    • A mission trip or retreat is a gift that gives your daughter an opportunity to increase her faith through service, prayer and fellowship with other believers. Some opportunities will teach her more about her faith, give her the option to minister to others through music and drama or teach kids Bible lessons. A mission trip or retreat can be a life-changing event for her and something she will talk about for years to come. Some programs will allow you to go together on the trip, which can increase your bond as parent and daughter and as Christians. Youth with a Mission, Cross Cultural Solutions and TEAMeffort are three organizations you can consider for this type of gift.
