Religious Gift Ideas with Handouts for #Seminary or #Ministering or #YoungWomens or #YoungMens or #ReliefSociety or #ActivityDays or #Primary #LDS

 I have been putting together gift ideas for years.  It's kind of a hobby for me.  Since I was released from seminary I have not been doing as many, and I really miss it.  I thought this page would be fun to post something every month to take to my ministering sisters.  I hope that you can find some things that you can use in your life.  Please leave a comment and follow me.  I would love to hear from you!




Love is Spoke Here (Sweater, cold, warmth):

This gift idea is on warmth.  The quote used comes from the Conference talk  "Love Is Spoken Here" by By Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. 



I bought some "Sweater Weather" hand soap from Bath and Body.  I wanted a nice quote to go with it so I put this handout together.  

There are many other things that could be given as a gift, such as gloves, a scarf, hand warmers, a beanie, etc.

LDS Inspiring Quotes on LOVE printables





Here are some printable quotes from various General Conferences that focus on LOVE.  They can be used as a printable or for a gift.  If you right click on the quote and then save it into your pictures then you can print it in your favorite printing program.  



If you're looking for a fun gift idea then you can print out the quote on paper that looks like old parchment.  You can frame it and it will be a nice, inexpensive gift. You could even reduce the size and use it a refrigerator magnet or a handout for your lesson.

I have a lot of other quotes that I used for a wedding.  If you would like to see those quotes just click here.

The Twelve Days of Christmas Nativity Gift



The Twelve Days of Christmas

As most of you know, the Twelve Days of Christmas is a traditional Christmas song.  To play off the song I have put this Twelve Days of Christmas Nativity together.

I wanted to do something special for my grandchildren this year for Christmas so I put together a twelve days of Christmas with a Nativity Theme.  The idea is to use a Nativity set and give them one piece of the Nativity set every day for the 12 days of Christmas leading up to Christmas day.





Each day they will open a piece of the Nativity, and on Christmas they will get the last piece, which is Christ.  Above is the nativity set that I bought at Sam's Club.


  My nativity only had 11 pieces, so on the first day I gave them the book "A Christ Centered Christmas" by Emily Belle Freeman and David Butler.   On the book I put the nativity tag labeled "you".


Each piece of the nativity I wrapped up separately in gold tissue paper and placed them in a gold cellophane bag.  The present inside included one peice of the Nativity with a coordinating card that has the name of the Nativity piece and a scripture to match.  You will find the printout for this Nativity cards below.


The book and the box with the stable in it I wrapped in coordinating gold paper.  I like to include the box that the Nativity came in so that they can pack it away after Christmas.


The Twelve Day Tags:

 On the bow I tied the coordinating tag below. 
The tag is to tell them which day that they can open the present.  


 I printed mine on a pearl colored card stock that I bought at Walmart in the paper section.




On the first day I also included a piece of jute string and some clothes pins with numbers on them.  That way they could make a banner with the Nativity story on it.


For each gift I have made a printout of the scripture to go with it.  I wrapped the printout inside the present with the matching Nativity item.   After unwrapping each present they can hang the scripture on the clothespin banner.

On the first day I also included this cute Christmas Manger Coloring card for them to make. 
 If you would like a copy of the card also click here.



I placed everything in a big gold bag and tied the quote above to the bow.  If you would like a copy of the quote just click here.


Nativity Tags:

Place the Nativity tag that matches the Nativity piece in the gift together and wrap them up.  For example, the Mary Nativity piece should go with the Mary card.  

You should have 12 gifts total to equal the 
12 days of Christmas.

If you have too many pieces in your Nativity, then double them up.

Christ
Remember that Christ should be the last piece because he was born on Christmas day.  Sometimes it's fun to hide him under the tree and have him be the last present to open so that it turns your attention back to Him.

 I have included a few extra incase your Nativity is 
different than mine.
