Christian Christmas Gifts
A Christmas gift that is still with them next Christmas.
Sobre esta colección
A Christmas gift that is still with them next Christmas. The ornaments go back in the box in January; a painting of the Good Shepherd stays above a grandmother's bed through Lent, through summer, through the next Advent. These are Christian Christmas gift ideas that say what you have wanted to say all year, and keep saying it long after the wrapping paper is gone.
In His Presence is for a parent or grandparent. Safe in His Care is for a child. Carried by Grace is for the person who has carried everyone else this year. Above the Waves is for a first home. Reaching Through the Water is for someone who has had a hard year and made it to December. CHRIST, the life of Jesus in art and Scripture, opens with the Nativity from Luke 2, for the family that reads the Christmas story together.
Our book collection brings together CHRIST, PSALMS and NATIVITY: art and Scripture for a table, a quiet moment or someone you love. PSALMS and NATIVITY are coming soon. Explore the previews and join their waitlists; launch and delivery dates have not yet been announced.
Why give a painting at Christmas?
Because it stays up. The wreath and the ornaments do their work for four weeks and go back to the attic, and the room returns to what it was. A painting of the Good Shepherd, or of Jesus walking toward the boat, becomes part of the room. The Christmas gift that is still on the wall in July, when the person passes it on the way to make coffee, has kept giving long after the season ended.
The scenes here begin where Christmas leads. The angel's words in Luke 2:10-11 are the heart of the season, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy" (Luke 2:10, KJV), and the paintings show what those tidings grew into: Jesus with his disciples, Jesus as shepherd, Jesus with an open hand. A canvas of Christ in the living room is Christian Christmas decor for the whole year.
Christian Christmas gift ideas, person by person
For a parent or grandparent, In His Presence at 16x20 or 20x30 for the bedroom, or Carried by Grace, whose passage in Isaiah 46 is a promise about being carried into old age. For a child or grandchild, Safe in His Care at 12x16 or 16x20 for the nursery or bedroom wall. For a couple who have just moved, Above the Waves at 24x36, large enough to be their first real piece of art. For a friend or sibling who has had a hard year, Reaching Through the Water, the hand reaching for Peter as he sinks, or Carried by Grace if the year is not yet over. For the person who has everything, a framed 30x40, the one gift they would never have bought themselves.
Are these Christmas gifts for Christians originals or prints?
Canvas prints of our own artwork, made to order. Each scene is our own artwork, printed on matte cotton-polyester canvas over a pine stretcher, frameless or framed in natural or black pine, with hanging hardware included. Because each one is made when you order it, order early in the season and check the product page for current timing, so the box is under the tree and out of your mind.
The canvas itself
Every canvas is made to order in the US on matte canvas, frameless from $59 or framed from $129. Each one is made when you order it, so order early and see the product page for current timing.
Frequently asked
When should I order for Christmas?
Earlier than you think. Every canvas is made when you order it, so the product page carries the current timing and is the place to check it before you count on a date under the tree.
Which canvas is the most traditional Christmas gift?
In His Presence, the portrait of Jesus. It is the closest thing we make to a classic devotional image, painted in a modern hand, and it is paired with the invitation of Matthew 11:28-30. Framed in natural pine it arrives ready to hang on Christmas morning.
Do you have Nativity art?
The Nativity is in CHRIST, our book, with the passage from Luke 2. The canvases show the man that child became, on the water, with a lamb, with his hand held out. The King James begins Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given" (Isaiah 9:6, KJV), and these are the scenes that promise grew into.
Can the canvas ship directly to the recipient?
Yes. Enter their address as the shipping address at checkout. The canvas carries the painting alone, so the passage from the product page can go in your own card, in your own hand.
