1. Prayer Notebook

Do you have access to basic office supplies? Then you can make a Prayer Notebook! If you want to encourage a friend in their prayer life, this would be a great gift to make.

• Head over here to learn how to make a Prayer Notebook, or go here to see what is and why you need a prayer notebook.
• If your friend is more of the journaling type, then you could set up a prayer journal for her instead.
• If you can, you could even pair one of these with Priscilla Shirer’s book, Fervent, or the movie War Room.

2. Bible Story Stones

These would be great to make and give to a family with little ones, or to your own little ones! You can make it with simple supplies you already have in your home, or your own backyard. If you can, you could even pair these with a great children’s Bible like the Jesus Storybook Bible.

3. 2022 Made to Give Life Seasonal Goal Planner

Do you have a friend with lots of ideas but has a hard time nailing down and getting it done?

4. Bake a Tray of Goodies

• Pull out all your favorite cookie and banana bread recipes and bake away! Place all the goodies on a tray and sprinkle with powdered sugar. The great thing about this is if you make enough batches, you can make several trays for several gifts.

5. Baking Mix or Hot Cocoa Mix Jars

• Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix in a Jar
• Brownies in a Jar
• Homemade Peppermint Hot Cocoa Mix in Mini Mason Jars
• Or any of these homemade mixes!

6. Bible Reading Plans

A Bible Reading plan can be great to encourage a woman who would like to get into the Word more. Maybe you offer to do it together.

You could choose a theme, one of our favorite is the Gratitude Collection, or you can choose any theme your friend might need.

If you are a subscriber you can access all of our FREE Bible Reading Plans.

But if you’re making it a last minute gift, any one or combination of our downloadable journals would be perfect.

7. Get the kids involved: Tin Can Lanterns

• Tin Can Lanterns– these would be great along with a printed poem or scripture about Jesus being the Light of the World (John 8:12, John 1:4, and 9).

8. Use Your Creative Gifts to Create Something Unique

• A Handwritten note
• Paint a picture, write a poem, or write a song that tells them how much you appreciate them
• Make them a card with encouraging scriptures or pictures that they can keep as a keepsake
• A collage frame filled with pictures of the two of you, friends, or other family members

9. DIY Photo Coasters

• DIY Photo Coasters are a unique way to gift photos to your friends and family. Grandparents especially love these and they’ve been a huge hit every single time I (Leigh Ann) have gifted them.

10. Gift of Service

• This gift doesn’t come with wrapping and a bow, but bless your friend by offering your hands. You can clean her house or bring a meal over. Make sure you know your friend and if she wouldn’t mind a drop in visit, or if she’s the kind who appreciates a warning text before you come over with the bucket and scrubber.
• Think about a service she pays for regularly that you can do for her. Does your neighbor pay to have someone come let her puppy out at mid-day while she’s at work? Offer to do it for her instead.
