Teenagers can smell 'trying too hard' from across the room. This list only includes Christian gifts that feel like theirs — not their parents'.
1. A custom song in their favorite genre
A Holy Song in pop-Christian, hip-hop-Christian or country-Christian, written from their story. It sounds like the songs on their playlist — because it is one.
2. A hand-me-down Bible
Yours. Marked up. Notes in the margin. Nothing beats it.
3. Their verse, printed the way they want it
Skip the flowers-and-cursive Etsy version. Get their life verse printed streetwear-style.
4. A prayer walk with just them
An hour. Their choice of trail. Their choice of playlist. You just walk and pray for them out loud.
5. A worship concert ticket
Their favorite artist. Just the two of you.
If they've stopped opening cards, give them a song. Every teen we've written for has replayed theirs — even the ones who 'don't cry.'
