Christian Christmas Gifts That Bring Hope, Peace, Joy & Love
I lived in one of the most unique places on the planet, and Christmas was no exception. Instead of pine trees, my neighbors in Tucson decorated the 30-foot saguaro cactus in their front yard with glowing string lights and topped it with a Santa hat. Some years, the Catalina Mountains in the distance were snow-capped, but most Christmas Days were still 70 degrees or warmer, and a desert hike often followed dinner.
While there was so much beauty outside, inside I really missed my family members, who all live on the East Coast. When we spent holidays together, there was always a feeling that we only had a few days to enjoy each other’s company until someone had to go home.
This year is different. Moving to Florida brought me to my family. I get to spend all of the holidays with them, and no one is leaving in two days. We’ll see the Christmas lights at Gaylord Palms, enjoy a treat at Disney Springs while listening to live holiday music, attend church together, play board games, work on puzzles, bake cookies — and repeat. I’m so excited and grateful.
Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love hold a deeper meaning for me this year. These Christian Christmas gifts from my shop are organized around the ultimate gift God gave the world when He sent His only Son to live among us. I hope they’ll help you spread the message of joy to someone you love this Christmas.
God Gives Us Hope
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
— Romans 15:13 (NIV)
When you trust that God will get you through absolutely anything life throws at you, hope is everywhere you look. This truth inspired my Christian Beach Christmas Card. It says: "From desert to sea, His love shines on you and me." Whether you’re living near saguaros, beaches, snowy mountains, or city lights, there is nowhere you can go that God’s love won’t follow. This card is a reminder that God is always with us, and because of that, we can be confident in the future.
Hope was also on my mind when I added the words "Find Your Wings" to this butterfly sticker. It makes me think of a caterpillar’s transformation. After so long living on the ground, it must feel incredible to finally take flight.
To ensure that your gifts get delivered in time for Christmas, my cut-off date for ordering is December 14.
If you or a loved one is entering a new season or feeling anxious, Christian Christmas gifts like this "Fear Dies Where Faith Is Planted" sticker are encouragement to trust that God will remain faithful.
God Gives Us Peace
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
— Luke 2:14 (NIV)
This was part of the message angels gave to shepherds about the birth of Jesus. God wasn’t exactly talking about having a quiet afternoon or taking a longer break at work when He offered us peace. God is Peace. He sent us Jesus so we could be saved from judgment and have peace with Him forever. We don’t have to worry about anything. When we have Him, we have everything we need.
My Desert Tide Necklace reminds me of a place where I feel total peace — where sand meets ocean waves as they lap at my feet. It’s an invitation to rest and relax in the stunning nature that God gave us to enjoy.
This "Pull Up a Chair They Said" blank greeting card and "Peace Grows in the Stillness" sticker pair perfectly with the necklace. They’re great gifts for your best friend who’s overworked or a mom who’s always on the go and may be stressed out. You can write a personal message inside the card, giving her a little nudge to rest.
God Gives Us Joy
"But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’"
— Luke 2:10 (NIV)
You might feel a bit terrified if an angel appeared at your workplace in the middle of an ordinary night. But the angel reassured the shepherds that he had good news. The Savior of the world had been born! After they saw Jesus, they spread the joy to everyone who hadn’t had the opportunity to witness such a miracle.
My "I Hope Something Good Happens to You Today" and "Today's Great Mood is Sponsored by Jesus" stickers are small ways to share a spirit of joy. Tuck one into a Christmas card or stocking, and give someone a message of happiness in the middle of an ordinary day.
My God's Country Leather Cactus Earrings were also designed with pure joy in mind. They remind me of the beauty of God's creation, from sea to shining sea and the desert in between.
God Gives Us Love
"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."
— 1 John 4:9 (NIV)
The world was lost, so God sent Jesus as a human to live among people — to defeat fear, sin, and death once and for all. Jesus being born into the world as one of us is the heart of Christmas.
This "For the Record, God Loves You" sticker and card are reminders of God’s limitless love. I chose a record graphic because "God loves you" is a message that needs to be played loud and proud, and on repeat. When you realize how much you’re loved, you experience a sense of peace and joy that you didn’t have before.
We Give Each Other Kindness
"Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
— 1 John 4:11 (NIV)
My hope is that this Christmas season, you show kindness and love to others — and maybe even to someone who doesn’t expect it. That’s what this beautiful season is all about.
