One of the best ways to be a true friend is to be there for someone when they need it the most. Everyone goes through tough things sometimes, and those are great opportunities to be the uplifting friend they need. Just being there to listen is the best way to show you care when a friend has a down-day, and an encouragement card and/or gift can be a lasting reminder of your close bond of friendship in both the good and the tough times.

Are you considering buying a gift for your friend? Since you know her so well, you probably already have something in mind. But sometimes you may want a fresh idea for a gift that's different from what you've given before. If this is one of those times for a new idea, we can help!

We have some great gift ideas to share with you. These ideas are based on our current best-selling encouragement gifts that so many Christian women have found to be memorable gifts of friendship. So if you are wondering what type of gift to give a friend to encourage her, consider these top five choices!

1. Scripture Gifts! The Word of God is the greatest source of hope you can offer, so a gift with a Scripture right on it may be very fitting for the situation she is facing. We have so many great Scripture gifts for women!
2. Mugs! If your friend enjoys a cup of coffee or tea each morning, she will love having a faith-based mug. There is something so comforting about combining a warm drink with a positive message!
3. Journals! She may want to use a journal to write out her feelings, prayers, or Scriptures to get her through. Most of our journals have a verse on the cover, and many also have verses featured on each page.
4. Cards! This seems so simple, but it should not be overlooked. Uplifting greeting cards are often a special way to express support, even when we can't find the right words to say ourselves. Our high-quality cards provide beautifully worded messages of faith and hope.
5. Devotionals! Help your friend be encouraged through Scripture based devotions that she can read each morning to get her days started off right.
