\"Are<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Last week I shared a detailed post on how to host a gift exchange. If you need help organizing your gift exchange, be sure you read that post first<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we\u2019re getting creative, and I\u2019m sharing Christian-themed gift exchange ideas<\/strong> and some general gift exchange themes<\/strong>. You\u2019re welcome to grab an idea and make it your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gift exchange themes can add a unique twist or challenge for your participants.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I must admit, I\u2019m partial to the Christian-themed ideas below. Far too often, women\u2019s ministry events and activities are labeled as lacking substance. On the surface, a gift exchange could appear to be just another fluffy, fellowship event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gift exchanges provide an opportunity for us to offer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Fellowship<\/li>
  2. Service<\/li>
  3. Spiritual message<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s embrace the opportunity to point women to Christ in every activity and event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    14 Christian-Themed Gift Exchange Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A Christian gift exchange can, and should, include a spiritual message. Selecting a theme that points women back to God\u2019s Word is one way to keep the focus on Christ and not on the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Beauty Bits (1 Peter 3:3-4<\/a>) \u2013 Gifts for a personal spa night or gifts that are beautiful.<\/li>
    2. Clean (Psalm 51:10<\/a>) \u2013 Gifts that can be used to clean.<\/li>
    3. Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9<\/a>) \u2013 Garden-themed gifts.<\/li>
    4. Joy (Psalm 16:11<\/a>) \u2013 Gifts related to joy and happiness.<\/li>
    5. Feathered Friends (Matthew 6:26<\/a>) \u2013 Bird-themed gifts.<\/li>
    6. Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23<\/a>) \u2013 Fruit-themed gifts.<\/li>
    7. Keep Warm (Ecclesiastes 4:11<\/a>) \u2013 Gifts to keep the giver warm (blankets, scarves, hot drinks, fuzzy socks, etc.).<\/li>
    8. Light of the World (John 8:12<\/a>) \u2013 Light-themed gifts.<\/li>
    9. Love One Another (John 13:35<\/a>) \u2013 Valentine\u2019s Day exchange or give a gift you love (favorite thing). You\u2019ll find ten other \u201clove one another\u201d verses here<\/a>.<\/li>
    10. Pieces of Peace (John 16:33<\/a>) \u2013 Gifts that are calming or bring about peace.<\/li>
    11. Proverbs 31 (Proverbs 31:10-31<\/a>) \u2013 Any gift that\u2019s related to the verses in Proverbs 31.<\/li>
    12. Refreshers (Acts 3:20<\/a>) \u2013 Gifts that provide physical or spiritual refreshment.<\/li>
    13. Sonshine Gifts (John 20:31<\/a>) \u2013 Ask women to send a gift that\u2019s yellow or only contains items that are yellow. You can find some fun Sonshine gift ideas and tags in this post<\/a>.<\/li>
    14. Taste & See (Psalm 34:8<\/a>) \u2013 Food-related gifts or restaurant gift cards.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      14 General Theme Ideas for Gift Exchanges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      With a little creativity, you might be able to pair each of these with a Scripture verse too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Accessory Swap \u2013 Necklaces, scarves, and earrings.<\/li>
      2. Alphabet Exchange \u2013 Pre-select a letter from the alphabet. Gifts must begin with that letter.<\/li>
      3. Book Exchange \u2013 I was a member of a writing group that hosted an optional Jolabokaflod<\/a> (in short, an Icelandic tradition of giving books). Encourage your women to send a favorite Christian book to one another.\u00a0 <\/em><\/li>
      4. Favorite Things \u2013 Give one of your favorite things. Encourage women to include an explanation of why it\u2019s one of their favorite things.<\/li>
      5. First Letter of their Name \u2013 Gifts must begin with the first letter of the recipient\u2019s name. Or the gift must start with the first letter of the giver\u2019s name \u2013 have the recipients guess who the giver\u2019s identity.<\/li>
      6. Game Exchange \u2013 Ask women to send their favorite board or card game to each other.<\/li>
      7. Gift Card Exchange \u2013 Ask women to limit their gifts to gift cards of a certain amount ($5 or $10). One of our former Youth Group leaders would do this at Christmas, and they gave out a prize for the most unique gift card given. You\u2019d be amazed at the random gift cards you can purchase!<\/li>
      8. Green Things \u2013 All gifts must be green. You could do the same for other colors\u2014for example, a Purple Parade or a Pink Party.<\/li>
      9. Holiday D\u00e9cor \u2013 Ask women to give an item the recipient could use to decorate for an upcoming holiday (Christmas, Valentine\u2019s Day, Easter, 4th<\/sup> of July, etc.)<\/li>
      10. Kitchen-themed Gift Exchange \u2013 All gifts must be something they would use in a kitchen.<\/li>
      11. Mug Exchange \u2013 Ask women to give a mug and their favorite tea or packaged beverage. Invite everyone to share a photo of the mug they received in your Facebook group<\/a>. <\/li>
      12. Snack Swap \u2013 Ask women to give a snack they love or a snack they think the recipient will enjoy.<\/li>
      13. Sock Swap \u2013 Ask women to give the gift of socks. My son\u2019s girlfriend mentioned they have a crazy sock exchange at work every Christmas. The socks range from crazy to comfy, and it\u2019s a lot of fun. Encourage women to post a photo of their socks online or wear them at your women’s retreat.<\/li>
      14. Tiny Gift Exchange \u2013 The item or items must fit inside a brown paper lunch bag.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        I hope these gift exchange themes have inspired you and your team to get creative with your next gift exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
