Religious gift

[princerupe74]

anyone got any good ideas for a gift (up to £50) I can buy a friend who is very religious (Christian)?

[squarebear]

For what? Birthday? Christmas? Special religious event?

[Anngel]

And...which religion would be helpful too!

[squarebear]

It says Christian in the post.

OP says Christian, anngel!

[Anngel]

Catholic, Protestant, Pentecostal, Evangelical.....they are all very different.

[princerupe74]

as a "thank you" gift

[boxtops]

True, but still of the Christian religion, just different branches

[squarebear]

A bunch of flowers. Why does it have to be a religious gift?

[boxtops]

I'm with SB on this one - I'd buy something generally acceptable. Pay for them to go out for a meal for example. You don't know that they might have the thing you are considering, or not want/need one.

A nice bible with their name engraved?

[cupid04]

nice picture with religious text from your local christian book shop?

nice photo frame with family picture.

What about one of the Oxfam charity gifts...you can give a goat/seed/tools to someone in a poor country. A Christian person would appreciate this...

[boxtops]

There are some very nice pieces of jewellery with Biblical quotations in some of the mail order catalogues.

anngel - that IS a good idea. We used the sendacow site a couple of years ago, we sent funds for a family in Africa to buy two goats, on behalf of a religious person who didn't want a Christmas present.

Male or female?

Why must it be a religious gift? It depends on what you're thanking the person for, but Squarebear's suggestion of flowers seems good to me. They're acceptable in any situation.

(Waits for someone to say 'not if you're allergic to flowers'). :o)
