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 lot!
There’s no doubt about it… moms do one of the toughest jobs in the world! From creating life to nurturing, teaching, and leading through every stage of childhood, motherhood is no small task.
God has given mothers such a unique and important purpose in our families and that is something to be celebrated!
In fact, a 2017 study from Welch’s found that being a mom is equal to working 2.5 full-time jobs.
So when it’s time to honor the moms in our lives, let’s do it well.
Growing up, my siblings and I always struggled with what to give our mom for Mother’s Day, Christmas, or her birthday. What do you give to the person who seems to have everything, and who you depend on for just about everything?

Gifts for New Mothers
The early days of motherhood can truly be exhausting. From learning to care for your baby to getting little sleep, it can be hard to fit spiritual growth into the margins of such a busy season.
We love each of these gifts for new mothers because they remind moms of how much they are loved by Jesus Christ, and they offer reminders of hope for wherever she is on her spiritual journey.
1. Missional Motherhood by Gloria Furman
Do you know a new mom or a mom that’s currently expecting? While they’re most likely receiving lots of new things for the baby, it’s super important for us to encourage the mom, too! This book is a great gift for learning about spiritual growth through motherhood.
2. Oh, Baby! Devotions for New Parents
Through the bleary-eyed early days of being a brand new parent, there are still moments of spiritual growth and quiet times with the Lord to be had! I love this particular book because it’s full of bite-sized, relatable devotionals for new moms that will meet them right where they’re at on their parenting journey. It’s a perfect gift for Mother’s Day, baby showers and so much more.
3. Let God Christian Tumbler
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.
One of the easiest things to do though? Making sure the new mom is hydrated. A big tumbler like this one can help. 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!
4. An inspiring tote bag for holding all the things
Another wonderful gift for a new parent is a carry-all bag for all the necessities when you have a new baby! This sweet tote with pockets is a great alternative to a traditional diaper bag when she wants to travel a little lighter but stay stylish on the go. 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.
5. A new prayer journal
For those late night feedings and early morning wakings, a prayer journal can be a great way to help a mom spend time with the Lord and to remember and look back on this season of her motherhood journey!
This Prayer Journal for Women has easy daily prompts and guides to follow along with scripture reflections. We also love this 52-week Prayer Journal for Women that is organized thematically and includes a tracker for answered prayers as well!
Looking for a digital prayer journal option? We’ve also created our own 30-Day Prayer Journal for Moms which you can find right here!

Set up a spa day for her at home! Give her kid-free time to take a bubble bath, cook her favorite meal, and then turn on some relaxing music and light some candles to make home feel like the spa! Search online for at home recipes you can create to do a facial, give her a foot massage, paint her nails, and whatever else you’d like to do! Bonus points if you let mom go to bed early.

Give mom the night off from cooking and prepare dinner for her. Then, pop some popcorn and serve her favorite treat while the whole family watches her favorite chick flick or movie! Cozy blankets required, and no complaining allowed!
3. Offer a family house cleaning service
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.
4. Make her a customized coupon book
Get some paper and markers and make mom a custom coupon book that she can use anytime! A few ideas of great coupons? A Go To Bed Early coupon, a Family Cooks Dinner coupon and a Mom’s Afternoon Out coupon are all great little treats that she can use anytime throughout the year.
