Whether it’s their birthday or a holiday is staring at you from right around the corner, gifts of faith are always the way to go for a Christian friend or family member.
In this review, we cover ten of the most unique Christian gifts out there today.
We took special note of things like utility and quality, so whatever gift you choose lasts for a long time even with daily use. Each gift was hand-picked by our dads based on uniqueness, availability, price, and the reminder of faith.
We came into this review knowing that one of the most important aspects of Christian gifts is to have a reminder of faith showing proudly, not hidden, or locked behind a book cover. When comparing each gift, we took into consideration everything from appearance to usefulness.
We know how difficult it can be to find a unique gift that isn’t a bible, so we searched high and low for every pick. We’ve also included the specs and any applicable style options for each of the gifts we recommend.

The verse is surrounded by a simplistic gold border and pink flowers.

- Ink: Black ink
- Closure: Twist closure
- Tip: Ballpoint tip
- Weight: 45 grams
- Size: 5.6” long
Inkstone has plenty of engraved gift pens, but this is their most popular one. The casing is a slick black with copper accents. It comes in a satin-lined presentation gift box so you can easily wrap it with a bow or gift it as-is.
The top of the pen is engraved with “Proverbs 3:5” and the shaft of the pen states, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” This is a great gift for a writer, pastor, or anyone who spends a lot of time with a pen in their hand. It’s a reminder to trust in God whenever they’re in the midst of a problem at work.
The ink is compatible with G2 parker-ink cartridges, so you don’t have to worry about them tossing the pen at the end of its life, and can give them refills along with the pen. The original ink does not perform as well as the cartridges, but that’s an easy fix. The quality is guaranteed as well. This pen is smooth and steady with a ballpoint tip and ink. It closes with a twist.

- Large:: 15.4” x 12”
If you’re gifting for a chef or an enthusiastic home cook, consider the Bamboo Cutting Board by Christian Art Gifts. The great thing about this cutting board is that it can be used decoratively (think charcuterie) or as a functional cutting board while they’re preparing meats or vegetables.
The bamboo is 100% natural and is laser-engraved with a unique saying. There are three small cutting boards with the following sayings on each:
- “Bless the food before us, the family beside us, and the love between us. Amen.”
- “Blessed beyond measure”
- “Gather here”
They offer one large cutting board that says, “Give us this day our daily bread.” The cutting board is a great gift for anyone with a passion for cooking, and they can be reminded of their faith even when going through their daily routine.
The only downside is that hand washing is recommended, so they won’t be able to throw it in the dishwasher on a whim.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Consider When Picking a Unique Christian Gift?
If you’ve decided to buy a religious loved one a Christian gift, the most important thing you can do is consider their hobbies. If someone likes writing, then you might consider the engraved gift pen, or if they like playing the guitar, then the guitar picks are a great choice as well. Pick something that will give them a daily reminder of their faith as they go through their routine.
What Does the Bible Say About Gifts?
There are many verses in the Bible that talk about gifts, whether physical or spiritual. Our favorite verse is 1 Peter 4:10, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.”Â
Using your religious beliefs to serve another is a gift in itself, but an example of unique Christian gifts that can be used to serve others include the Bamboo Cutting Board or the Decal Hammer.
When is Pastor Appreciation Month?
Clergy Appreciation Day is the second Sunday in October, and the entire month is celebrated as Clergy Appreciation Month. Any member of your church would be thrilled to receive a gift as a token of your appreciation.
