2022 Christ-Focused Christmas Gift Guide for the Whole Family
Inside: Christ-Focused Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list.
Christmas shopping can get overwhelming, and I want to help you (and myself) make it less complicated. I love to find gifts for family and friends that point to Jesus. This will not be your typical Christmas gift guide but one I hope will help you and your gift receivers keep their eyes focused on the eternal.(Some of the links in the post are affiliate links; please know this doesn’t change your cost but helps to support the cost of the blog here – so thank you in advance for a purchase! See my full disclosure here. )
*Please note that not every gift is “Christian,” but I’ve shared some that are just unique and fit into the small business category. Also, I don’t affirm every aspect of every resource, and inclusion on this page doesn’t equate to a full endorsement of all an author’s works. Please always hold to the Bible as your primary source of truth.
My Favorite Book Places to Shop
The Compassion Gift Catalog is a great place to shop too! You can also sponsor a child, and sharing the love of Jesus with them would be a wonderful Christmas present for them and their family.

Love these ideas! Any ideas for stories on cds?
Amy we always enjoyed Focus on the Family Radio Theater and the Jonathan Park CD’s. Lamplighter theater is also a favorite – https://lamplighter.net/c/lamplighter-theatre/.
I’m gearing more towards kiddos up there (although they are great family listens too) but for adults and older kids the Wingfeather Series on Audiobooks is excellent too.
These are so great! Do you have any recommendations for people who do not like to read books? My husband and boys are not big book readers. I have gotten them books on CD but they do not really do those either. I would like something to encourage them in their faith but not a book or book on CD. Any recommendations would be great!
Andrea – Answers in Genesis has some great videos and ideas for the kids. Your husband might enjoy some fun stuff from Missional Wear or even a subscription to something like Ligonier Connect, where you can learn online and watch various teachings. Media Gratiae has some excellent resources too.
