Are you looking for a meaningful gift for the Christian women in your life? These gifts for Christian moms are the perfect way to say “I love you” and “We’re so grateful for you” without having to spend a ton.
There’s no doubt about it that moms do one of the toughest jobs in the world! What starts with creating life for 9 whole months turns into nurturing, feeding, teaching and leading another human being through all the stages of newborn, baby, toddler, childhood and beyond.
God has given mothers such a unique and important purpose in our families and that is something to be celebrated.
Think I’m over exaggerating a bit on the importance of motherhood? One study in 2017 from Welch’s found that being a mother is equivalent to working 2.5 full-time jobs. So when it’s time for us to honor and appreciate the moms in our life, we ought to really do it well!

I remember so well that growing up, my siblings and I always struggled with what to give our mom for Mother’s Day, a birthday gift and Christmas.
What do you give to the person who seems to have everything, knows how to do everything, and that you depend on for pretty much everything?
While flowers and a card are always welcome and appreciated, sometimes you just want to go that extra mile in finding the perfect gift that will bring a smile to her face. For Christian moms, a gift that offers a little extra spiritual encouragement is always a great idea!
So in this post, we thought it would be fun to share a gift guide that includes some of the best gifts I could find for Christian moms all throughout the year.

It’s a perfect gift for Mother’s Day, baby showers and so much more.

The early days of being a new mom can be extremely exhausting. From diaper changes to sleepless nights, it’s tough as a new mom to find moments to take care of yourself.

We love that these tumblers have an encouraging message straight from God’s Word and come in a variety of different colors with different verses!

Another wonderful gift for a new parent is a carry-all bag for all the necessities when you have a new baby!

Both this God Is Within Her tote and this I Can Do All Things tote would be perfect for carrying all the new mama essentials.

Yes, we are totally serious. Get the whole family together, create a cleaning list and split the duties up by age appropriateness. Then, get to work and make the house spic, span and organized without mom having to do it! P.S. – Be sure to send her out somewhere relaxing to enjoy herself while the cleaning is getting done.
