The best Christian gifts for coworkers are useful at work, gentle in their message, and appropriate for a professional setting. A Scripture mug or tumbler with an encouraging verse fits the bill: it lives on their desk and quietly encourages them on busy days.
Here are 11 ideas, plus a few etiquette tips for giving faith gifts at work.
Before You Give: Workplace Etiquette
- Know your coworker. Faith gifts are best for coworkers who share or welcome your faith.
- Keep the message encouraging. Choose gentle verses over anything that could feel preachy.
