In short: Christian Christmas gifts are things that recall the reason for the feast: a cross for the bedroom, a pendant with a nativity motif, a guardian angel for the children or a companion for the keys. Here you will find 20 ideas from our range, arranged by recipient and with the meaning behind them. Most cost between €10 and €40.
Christmas is the feast of the birth of Jesus. A gift with a Christian connection takes up this core without being pushy. It does not have to be big: a small sign that someone sees every day or carries with them often has more lasting effect than an expensive present. Because most of the items in our range are made of olive wood from Bethlehem or are blessed medals, many ideas come directly from the place where the Christmas story is set.
For the Christmas tree and the home
1. “Holy Family” olive wood pendant
The motif shows Mary, Joseph and the Child under the star. The olive wood Holy Family pendant (€9.90) hangs on the Christmas tree, at the window or on the gift ribbon. Every piece has its own grain.
2. Bell with the Three Kings
The wise men from the East recall that Christmas is a feast for all peoples. The Three Kings bell pendant (€9.90) also suits an Epiphany greeting in January.
3. Pendant with nativity scene
If you want to give the crib in miniature, choose the bell pendant with nativity scene (€9.90).
4. Flight into Egypt
A lesser-known motif that invites reflection: the Holy Family in flight. The Flight into Egypt pendant (€9.90) is one for people who like to talk about the story behind the feast.
5. Olive wood angel pendant
In the Christmas story, angels proclaim the good news. The olive wood angel pendant (€9.90) is a delicate greeting for children and adults.
You will find more motifs in the olive wood Christmas decorations collection.
6. Olive wood wall cross
A wall cross is a gift for a new home or for people who do not yet have one. The olive wood wall cross, 30 cm (€39.90) is our calmest piece for a living room or bedroom. A little smaller and cheaper is the olive wood wall cross 16 × 9 cm (€19.90).
7. Standing cross for the chest of drawers or bedside table
The olive wood standing cross 18.5 cm (€29.90) can be taken apart and packed flat. Handy if it has a long way to travel.
8. Olive wood house blessing
“Gott segne unser Haus” (“God bless our home”): the house blessing wall plaque (€17.90) is a classic gift for couples who have just moved.
For children
9. Guardian angel picture for the nursery
Guardian angel pictures are classics because they show children security. There are many motifs to choose from, for example the wall picture in a wooden frame (€19.90, blessed) or a heart-shaped picture with lantern (€17.90). More in our article Guardian angels: meaning, prayer and gift ideas.
10. Guardian angel magnet
The guardian angel with baby magnet (€13.90, blessed, with velvet pouch) suits the fridge and is a lovely little gift for young parents.

13. Silver cross necklace

Frequently asked questions
What is a typical Christian Christmas gift?
Typical gifts are things connected with the Christmas story or with faith: crosses, angels, nativity motifs, pendants for the Christmas tree and jewellery with Christian symbols.
What do I give people who are not believers?
Choose something simple without a strong message, such as an olive wood pendant or a guardian angel motif. It comes across as a friendly wish, not as an attempt at conversion.
How early should I order?
Ideally in November. We do not state a fixed delivery time, but allow a few days’ buffer, especially during Advent.
Are the gifts blessed?
Many items are, but not all. Blessed items are marked in the title and description. A Catholic priest from the Diocese of Fulda blesses them in our warehouse, and a certificate with the date is enclosed.
Is there a quantity discount for parishes?
Yes: 10% from 10 items, 15% from 25, 20% from 50 (does not apply to wooden statues from the woodcarving workshop). We will gladly prepare a quote for you; write to us at hallo@lunexus.world.
