Attending a women’s conference or spiritual retreat may be out of the budget. Most pastor’s families are not rolling in the dough. Paid Tickets to Women’s Conference or Retreat The sweetly decorated white colored floral tin with gold edging stores fifty prayer cards. This beautifully designed tin holds prayers for the woman s praying heart who may be struggling to express herself to God or who desires more support. “My Prayer” cards are part of the Prayer Cards in Tins collection. Or you could really splurge and buy her a Kindle with an Amazon gift card to choose her own. One of my personal favorites for Christian fiction is Liz Curtis Higgs. Putting together a book basket filled with the latest books from her favorite authors is sure to bless her. Is your pastor’s wife a big fan of Priscilla Shirer, Anne Graham Lotz, or Lysa TerKeurst? Perhaps, there’s another author she quotes often or can’t wait to host a book study for. Devotionals or Books by Christian Women Authors Add some nice ear buds and/or a wireless speaker. Worship CD or Music CDĭo you know your pastor’s wife’s favorite artist or type of music or her favorite artist? Then she would likely appreciate a basket filled with CDs. ![]() Now if your pastor’s wife is not a fan of writing in her Bible, this is probably not a great idea, but if you have a creative, journaling, adult coloring book-loving pastor’s wife, she will love one of these beautiful journaling Bibles. And while they may be generally true, journaling Bibles are new-ish on the scene and she may not have splurged on one yet. She’s a pastor’s wife her house is filled with every Bible imaginable. If you don’t, you can never go wrong with Godiva. If you have a local chocolate store, you can probably purchase a lovely basket pre-made there. Chocolate Basket: What woman doesn’t love chocolate.I buy all of my loose-leaf tea and accessories from Adagio Teas.

Or subscribe to an essential oils recipe box for her! My favorite company for buying essential oils and accessories is Simply Earth. Aromatherapy Basket: Does your pastor’s wife love essential oils? Put together a gift basket with some favorite essential oils (such as lavender, jasmine, geranium, chamomile, peppermint, rosemary, lemon, and orange), along with a diffuser, roller bottles, carrier oils, and a great book.You may be tempted to put together something for the entire family here (ie: a family movie night), but try to resist that temptation and instead, put together a basket just for her. I love to put together a great gift basket. Do stay away from general gift cards to stores such as Wal-Mart or Target (unless you know she absolutely LOVES shopping there). Some ideas might include: a spa day or massage, Starbucks, a restaurant she loves, a local bookstore, or her favorite clothing store. So think about what your pastor’s wive loves and treat her to a gift certificate or gift card for that. I’m not a huge fan of gift certificates or gift cards, unless they are very specific to the interests or passions of the receiver. 10 Gift Ideas for Your Pastor’s Wife Gift Certificates or Gift Cards If you want to make your own pastor’s wife feel loved and appreciated for the work she does in the church and as a support to her husband, here are some gift ideas for her birthday, Christmas, Pastor Appreciation day, Mothers day or any other special occasion (or maybe just because she is deserving). (be sure to visit my gift guide for pastors, too!) I suspect I am not alone in my admiration for these women, who have sometimes found themselves in ministry unexpectedly when their husbands heard the call to serve. Being able to bless them with a small (or not so small) token of appreciation brings me great joy. I’ve watched as they selflessly serve alongside their husbands, with little expectation for any kind of reward or recognition for the sacrifices they make daily. My pastor’s wives friends are some of my favorite people. ![]()
