Christian Grad Gifts: 20 Meaningful Ideas for Her & Him (Class of 2025)
This post: Christian grad gifts they’ll actually use and love—without spending more than $50!
Graduation season is here—and if you’re looking for Christian grad gifts that feel thoughtful (not last-minute), you’re in the right place! I’ve rounded up 20 meaningful and faith-inspired gift ideas for high school and college grads—split into lists for her and for him.
Everything here is under $50—most around the $20 mark (or less)—so you can celebrate this milestone in a way that reflects your faith and your budget.
Some gifts are sentimental, some are practical, and all come from brands and shops I personally love—including faith-based small businesses, Amazon, and Etsy.
