Reflect Jesus in Your Gift-Giving
November was a special time for us as we had the joy of curating custom gift boxes for a ministry center in Boston. These boxes were designed to refresh ministry partners who have spent their year pouring their lives into serving others.
The theme God placed on our hearts to encourage these ministry partners was remembrance—a call to remember Jesus in the busy, Christmas season and to worship Him with our whole body and mind through the gift of our five senses.
Each item in the box was chosen to help recipients reflect on Christ’s love and character in everyday moments:
Wooden and Marble Charcuterie Board: A beautiful reminder that we, as Gentiles, have been grafted into God’s family. All are welcomed at His table, and we can extend that grace to others who may be different than we are.
Orange-Cranberry Simmering Pot: Representing the sweet aroma of a life lived sacrificially for Christ.
Caramel Candies to Share: A simple yet profound reminder of the truth that He is sweeter than any earthly pleasure.
Hand Towel and Lotion: Tokens of Christ’s gentleness and care for us.
A “Mistletoe” Game: Written to spark laughter and conversation with family or friends.
These gifts weren’t just items—they were reminders of the Gospel woven into everyday moments.
Resources for Your Own Christ-Centered Giving
We know the holiday season can be busy, and finding the perfect gift isn’t always easy. To help you reflect Christ’s heart in your own gift-giving, we’ve created two sets of gift tags that make it simple to share meaningful presents:
Gifted Word : Christmas Edition 🎄
Aesthetically made for Christmas gift giving, these tags are perfect for blessing family, friends, neighbors, and church volunteer teams. Rachel is tying the “Taste & Remember” cards onto bags of homemade caramel corn to bless her neighbors. Pam created gift baskets with each tag for the teachers at her kids’ school (pictured above).Gifted Word : All Seasons
Designed for any occasion—whether you’re thanking a coworker, blessing a neighbor, or showing appreciation to volunteers on your ministry team, these tags remind the recipient of God’s love.
Each set of Gifted Word tags comes with a Giving Guide that includes curated affiliate links to help you easily pair your gifts with items that match the heart behind them.
HOW TO USE GIFTED WORD TAGS
Bless Your Neighbors: Attach a “Taste and Remember” tag to a bag of caramel corn, cookies, or another homemade treat, or a “Smell and Remember” tag to a homemade simmering pot pouch.
Encourage Volunteers: Pair a tag with a simple gift like a candle, lotion, or hot cocoa bomb.
Share Christ’s Love With Coworkers: Use the everyday tags to create thoughtful, personal gifts that reflect your faith.

As you prepare your gifts, remember that every thoughtful act of kindness is an opportunity to point hearts back to Him. Whether big or small, your gifts can carry eternal significance when they reflect the truth of the Gospel. Let’s celebrate the greatest gift of all—Jesus Christ—by sharing His love with others this Christmas and all year long.
P.S. If someone you love is going through a hard season, we’ve also written these gift tags to comfort those who are lamenting or grieving.
