Some people are easy to buy a gift for, either because they have given you a clear, concise list or because they have a special hobby that always provides a quick suggestion when a gift-giving occasion comes along. Other people can be a little more difficult, especially if you don’t know them very well or they have everything you could think of. 

But what if I told you that there are some gifts that are quick to give, will be well-received, and will not be a huge shock to the wallet? Here are some gifts that I have found from DaySpring that I am sure will be enjoyed. Full disclosure here, I received a sampling of these gifts in order to review them. But because I truly do love these faith-filled gifts so much, I will be buying more - for gifts for friends and family and for myself. 

A Quick Word About DaySpring 

As part of the Hallmark Company, DaySpring brings faith-based cards, gifts and apparel to the forefront. With a collaborative line from actress Candace Cameron Bure (DJ Tanner on Full House), the designs are not only soul-stirring but also beautiful and fashion-forward.

Gifts for the Foodie, the Hostess, or the Newlywed 

I love a good cookbook, and frankly, I don’t think there is such a thing as “too many.” Whether your gift will be going to a new cook or a seasoned chef, The Living Table cookbook by Abby Turner is the perfect addition not only for the recipes inside but for the sheer beauty of it from cover to cover. There is even an introduction that gives you some solid advice on how to use the book to its full potential, plus information on setting the table, estimating how much of each dish you will need, and pantry staples that every home should have on hand. The Living Table features great tricks for last-minute “throw together” nibbles and bites for those impromptu parties that a good hostess never shies away from. Get to know a little about the author, Abby Turner before you dive into the first chapter. 

Every chapter starts with a devotion and a food for thought section that asks questions to get you thinking. The book gives you a pretty well-rounded selection of foods, from beverages to appetizers, entrees, and desserts.

Gifts for Housewarming, Office Friends, or "Just Thinking of You" 

By itself or as part of a basket of other gifts, mugs are always a great gift. And the Grace coffee mug (14 oz.) is sure to please. Whether you favor coffee, tea, or cocoa, this off-white and gold mug holds a generous dose of your morning pick-me-up. There is a positive saying on the front and a warm Bible verse on the back. Both are bound to bring inspiration and boundless joy as well as loving thoughts of your kindness every morning. 

Another option for gifts here is the “Wonders of His Love” tea towel that you can find in the new Christmas Arrivals. Made of easy to care for, 100% cotton, it is off-white with holly leaves, berries, and leaf sprigs that would be perfect for any decor or saved for a special Christmas towel. I rolled it and tucked it inside of the coffee mug along with some fancy tea bags and assorted chocolates for a friend that had been feeling a bit low. 

Gifts for Teen Birthdays, Special Events, or Achievements 

If there is anyone more difficult to buy for than a teen girl, I don’t want to know! To the rescue is an elegant, 14k gold-plated, Three. Five. Six. Necklace. Inspired by Proverbs verses 3:5-6, the necklace is three joined symbols on a very delicate chain. The jewelry is elegant and ageless and can be paired with even casual clothes or saved for dressier occasions. The necklace comes packaged on stiff cardboard with an additional board with the verses written on it, perfect for display on a desk or dresser. 

Gifts for a Wedding, Anniversary, or Special Occasion 

There are ten people on my gift-giving list that would be over the moon for a good candle. It would not matter if they were given a candle for every holiday, birthday, or special occasion year-round. Part of the Candace Cameron Bure line, this two-candle gift set is perfect for all occasions. But be warned: you are going to want to buy some gift sets for your own home as well. My current favorite is “Joyful + Confident” in Raspberry Violet. It is beautiful in scent and presentation.
