One of the beauties of being a Christian is that there are many occasions to give presents to family and friends. Just to name a few, there are Christmas Day, birthdays, baptism, confirmation, weddings and anniversaries. Indeed, you can give unique Christian gifts on any given day for no reason other than you want to make your recipient happy!

And since there are no strict religious restrictions on material gifts, you can give gifts of your choice without worrying about offending the spiritual sensibilities of your recipient. Just make sure that there is always respect for the tenets and teachings of the Christian church to which your recipient belongs to, which is true for gifts to family and friends belonging to other religions.

Christian Crosses - What better way to communicate your Christianity than through its universal symbol - the cross? It can come in many materials like wood, metal, pewter and ceramic as well as styles like the Celtic cross, the crucifix and the Eastern cross. You can even choose from just a plain Christian cross to an ornamented cross with semi-precious stones.

Your choice will basically depend on the Christian church your recipient belongs to and your budget for the gift. To make it one of the most unique Christian gifts, you may have the back of the cross engraved with a few words from the Bible.

Christian Jewelry - First off, there is no such thing as Christian jewelry that should follow strict biblical regulations. Basically, the term refers to the themes used in the designs of the jewelry, which are inspired by popular Christian symbols. Thus, you will find a wide array

of necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings designed with the cross, olive and palm branches, dove, egg, shamrock and angel, to name a few symbols, in mind.

The materials are also varied from semi-precious stones to 24-karat gold although affordable options like sterling silver are also available. No matter the price tag, however, it is always the Christian thought that counts with these unique Christian gifts.

Christian Pottery - In Christianity, clay is an important party of the imagery. In many verses of the Bible, clay was used as an analogy for the relationship between God and man, of which the notable one is the passage from Jeremiah 18:4. Also, clay was used to portray the from-dust-to-dust philosophy upon which Christianity is also based on.

Anyways, you can choose from pottery gifts such as an ornamental clay pots, practical clay dishes, candle holders, utensil jars, blessing cups and even bun warmers, all with inscriptions of Biblical verses and/or depictions of Biblical events. Or you can go for the ornamental pieces with the abovementioned Christian symbols as their inspirations.

There are also garden ornaments using Christian themes. For example, you can give the gift of love with scripture planters and wind chimes. Just browse through the selections of unique Christian gifts and you are sure to find something that will complete the look of your Christian friend's garden.

Your Christian gifts need not have price tag shooting through to the high heavens. After all, the teachings of Christianity point to humility of heart in your words and actions, which we will do well to remember every time we choose the right unique Christian gifts for our family and friends.
