Mother's Day Gifts for Mothers-in-Christ

Mother's Day Gifts for Women

Who are the women who have impacted your life? Here are some Mother's Day Gifts for women who aren't necessarily your mum.

Mothering Sunday is a fantastic chance to affirm and encourage those godly women in our lives who may not have raised us but who have chosen to walk alongside and nurture us, be it a godmother, foster mum, grandma, or friend at church.

We have gathered some gift ideas to bless and affirm these beautiful women of God and the precious role they have in our lives.

1. Celebrate her Wisdom Necklace by Fair Bloom - £17.90 | FREE UK SHIPPING

This heart-shaped royal blue necklace was designed to celebrate the God-given wisdom of the women in our lives, inspired by Proverbs 31:26: “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue”. Whilst this is something we all aspire to, why not gift this necklace to the woman who is further along that journey and has poured her God-given wisdom into your life? We all know how powerful a well-timed, grace-filled sentence can be!

(There is also a mini version available.)

5. Custom Bar Bracelet by Jordan Lily Designs - £26.00 | FREE UK DELIVERY

We all need reminding occasionally of how ‘treasured’ we are. This unique encouraging gift does just that, a reminder that we are all precious and treasured by God. 

This makeup bag (although it doesn’t just have to hold makeup – jewellery, crafts, bits and bobs would all fit) with its machine-embroidered ‘Treasured’ would make a sweet gift for a woman who has treasured and nurtured you.

7. Come, Holy Spirit Sticker Sheet by Doodling Faith - £1.50

These beautiful "Come, Holy Spirit” floral watercolour wreath stickers would fit nicely inside an encouraging card as a bit of a treat for a special woman this Mother’s Day.

9. Grace & Glory Candle by Lighthouse Collection - £14.00
