Christian Friendship Gifts
When it comes to Christian friendship gifts, the standard is simple: thoughtful and something they’ll cherish and savor. I’m a sucker for most all scripture friendship gifts because I’m convinced we can never have enough scripture in our lives!
Throughout the year as I see unique Christian gifts, I take a picture of the item and save it or add it to a “cool Christian gifts” list for later reference. It’s so helpful! You’ll be thankful for this list by the time Christmas and birthdays roll around!
What is a good gift for a Christian friend?
So, what makes a thoughtful Christian friendship gift? Well, chances are you know this friend well enough in their spiritual walk and can tailor the gift accordingly.
Maybe they need an encouraging book to get them through a difficult season. Or maybe they’re new to the faith and you can give a personalized Christian gift such as a bible. Of course, it could be a friend that you flat out cherish and just want them to know you thank God for their friendship and want to bless them in their faith.
Whatever type of religious gifts for her that you’re looking for, this is a great place to start!

Thoughtful Christian Friendship Gifts
I’m sharing a variety of Christian gifts including scripture jewelry, a beautiful friendship keepsake box, journals, wood art, and Christian gift sets of teacups and tea!
I recently discovered Butterfly Box, a premier subscription box that includes beautiful items to encourage women in their faith. It is for any and all women who love Jesus! I received the “You are Beautiful” themed box.
This is hands down one of my favorite Christian friendship gifts! Check out what was inside my box to remind us we are beautiful because we are His!
- A 21-Day devotional full of biblical truths and practical advice called, “Beauty Inside Out” by Bessie Hicks
- A 366 Day calendar with inspirational messages and scriptures
- A “You are altogether beautiful” Makeup Pouch
- “Gave Upon Him” eyeliner from EverBe

Each month they’ll send out a newly themed box. These make fabulous birthday or encouragement gifts for Christian friends!
Willow Tree Friendship, Sculpted Hand-Painted Keepsake Box
This beautiful keepsake box is a gift I gave years ago that is such a sweet and unique Christian gift. I’ve been a long-time fan of Willow Tree gits and know their products will always be top-notch and beautiful.
This friendship keepsake box is described as:
- Sentiment written inside box: ”Forever true, forever friends”. Includes Enclosure Card
- 3” square x 2”h hand-painted resin box. Bas-relief carving of two seated figures in cream dresses, facing each other, on lid (not attached) fitted to a cream square box.
- Inside, the bottom of box reveals a message of love and friendship as a hidden discovery. Packaged in fitted box ready for gift-giving.
Willow Tree® is an intimate line of figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways to heal, comfort, protect and inspire. Artist Susan Lordi hand carves the original of each figure from her studio in Kansas City Missouri. Pieces are cast from her original carvings, and individually painted by hand. Expression is revealed through gestures only… a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. The simplicity of form and absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. It is Susan’s hope that these pieces be meaningful to both giver and receiver.
Leather Bracelet for Women
This is a beautiful leather bracelet with Psalm 46:5 engraved on it: God is within her, she will not fall.
Any type of Christian gift for women that includes scripture, I’m all about! Nothing compares to God’s Word and we can never surround ourselves enough with it. Sharing God’s Word with those closest to us is a priceless gift.
Beautiful Cross Bracelet Christian Gifts for Women
These two Christian friendship gifts are perfect for your jewelry-wearing friends! This beautiful cross bracelet is engraved with the verse, “A friend loves at all times.” It’s a fun way to show your friend how much they mean to you and how much you value their friendship.
This bracelet comes in a velvet bag, perfect for gift-giving and keeping it protected. Another excellent choice for religious gifts for women is this Bible Verse Friendship Bracelet Vintage Brass Bangle Jewelry. This bracelet displays, “God is with her she will not fail”. A beautiful sentiment for the friend that needs encouragement and strength to keep pressing on.
Simply Said, INC Small Talk Sign
I’m a sucker for wood signs – in almost any variety. This adorable small wood block sign reads, “A Friend is God’s Way of Proving He Doesn’t Want Us to Walk Alone”.
It’s a sweet reminder to your Christian friend that you’re there for her. This is the perfect size to display on a desk, book shelf, or even on a window sill!
- Handcrafted in the USA.

Strength and Dignity Proverbs 31 Woman Bible Verse Teal Faux Leather Journal
You can’t have a list of Thoughtful Christian Friendship Gifts without having journals included! Journals are such wonderful gifts! I have been journaling for so many years, I’ve been through tons and tons of journals. Even still, it’s hard for me to pass them up and I love looking out for cute journals for friends.
Write a note on the first page or a prayer for your friend to personalize it!
This awesome teal journal reminds your friend that, “She is clothed with strength and dignity” from Proverbs 31:25. Each time she opens this journal, she’ll be reminded of who she is in Christ.
The spine is embossed in a rose design carried over to the back cover. The journal is covered in a quality man-made material with the look and feel of real leather (trade name LuxLeather), has a lay-flat spine and an attached ribbon page marker.

I’m convinced bible time, friendship and fellowship, and hot tea are some of the finer joys of life! I look for any excuse to do all as often as possible. This is a delightful Christian gift set of 4 mugs.
Each Christian mug features a different scripture Bible verse reference in metallic gold foil: Hebrews12:28 – Be Grateful.
Colossians 3:15 – Be Thankful.
Habakkuk 3:18 – Be Joyful.
Luke 16:10 – Be Faithful.
