10. CHRIST-CENTERED 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS
I created a 12 Days of Christ (a Christ-centered 12 Days of Christmas version) a few years ago and it has been such a hit! What a great way to reinforce the meaning of the season by giving a gift that relates to Christ?
Sure, you could do the entire 12 Days of Christ but if you don’t have the budget or time to do all 12 gifts, you can still use this fun idea!
For a simple gift idea, pick one name used in the 12 Days of Christ and attach it to a coordinating gift.
For example, Christ is the Shepherd. So you could give a box of candy canes and the companion card to go with it.
Or… how about Christ is the King of Kings?
This fun popcorn is cooked over the fire or stove and puffs up to look like a King’s crown when it’s all done.
There are so many fun options with this gift idea! You can see more details and examples here.
- Cost: Varies
