birthday gifts your yw really want

 Do young women birthdays have you like this 👇?

With the new year approaching, NOW is the time to decide what to get them! I’ve rounded up 7 ideas to help you pick & shared my own opinions on which are the best for a YW. Example pix are from my 2022 ministering kit.

I can’t speak for all YW, but I love to share my ideas to help you! 

1. Jewelry 

The best kinds of gifts are the ones that keep on giving. Your young women can think of and have the theme close to their hearts all year round with this gift. 

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: I love how jewelry can dress up an outfit, and with special pieces, people ask me where they are from & I get to talk about Young Women’s! 

💝In the Kit: The best part of this new card is that now you aren’t limited to the Trust in the Lord necklace packs available on Etsy. Pick any necklace to attach to the card!

2. Card

Everyone has different love languages, and some birthday words of affirmation can mean so much! 

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: I love nostalgia, so if a card is particularly meaningful (or aesthetic 😉), I’ll keep it! Going through my stash brings back good memories. 

💝In the Kit: What better cards for your Young Women than one designed by someone their age? I love these cute & colorful cards.

3. Cupcakes 

Don't be surprised if your YW show up to class early!

Treat everyone! Bringing cupcakes for birthdays gets your whole group excited & in on the birthday fun. 🥳 It’s like a mini party!

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: Back when I had loads of time, I loved to bring baked goods for my whole lunch table on birthdays. 👩🏻‍🍳 And, it’s so easy to grab cupcakes from the store! Wherever your baked goods are from, everyone gets to celebrate—and remember—birthdays this way.

💝In The Kit: 7 designs for cupcake toppers should do the trick, right? They feature a “Trust in the Lord” icon, symbols, and cute patterns and designs! 

4. Bookmark 

Dress up a bookmark by laminating it & adding a tassel & it will be a useful and cute gift! 🎁

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: 📚 Back when I'd read, I always had the struggle of figuring out how to save my spot! Would it be the famous...Dog ear? 🐶Spine flip? Commitment to remember my page number? 🤣 👉Even if your YW don’t read for fun, chances are they will benefit from a bookmark to use in their scriptures or reading at school. 🔖

💝 In the Kit: I have created a FREE bookmark to help your young women memorize & think about the scripture for this year.

5. Drop Off Treat

Mix things up by dropping off  your Young Women’s gift!

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: Everyone loves birthday visits + treats! 🥰 They're also super easy and fun to do as a surprise/ding dong ditch.

💝In the Kit: Put your goodies in a ziplock bag, top them off with a Birthday or 2021 theme message and you’re golden! ✨

6. Goody bag

Why just settle for one? With this approach, you can give your Young Women several cute gifts!

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: I’ve made many a treat tag & goody bag at events & cello bags are always my #1 choice! 

Here are some trendy & timeless ideas for what to put inside.💗

•Chapstick/lip gloss

•Candy

•Compact mirror

•Face mask (corona 😷 or spa) 

•Nail polish

•Scrunchies

•Coiled hair tie

•Hair scarf

•Hand sanitizer 

•Gum

•Mini-lotion 

•Gel pens

•CTR/rings

If the items you pick don’t fill up enough of the bag, use shredded paper! You can buy it premade or shred construction paper @ home. 😎

💝In The Kit: The 2022 Theme Logo I’ve created is available in 3 inch circle tags you can use your circle punch to cut in minutes! Simple & cute. 

7. Candy

 

Save your budget for the events throughout the year while still sharing a sweet birthday gift.

🙋🏻‍♀️A YW’s Take: Of course I love getting sweets on my birthday—it will be hard to find a Young Woman who doesn’t appreciate this gift. 😋

💝In The Kit: Use the Hershey Bar wrapper & make your Birthday Gifts in bulk! Or ask YW about their favorite candy & attach the circle gift tag to their choice. 

I'm working on taking a survey from more YW on their favorite gift options and will update accordingly. Until then, the tons of options in the 2022 Ministering Kit will have you covered! Ready to up your birthday game? Snag it from the shop today.

Activity idea: the YW make leader birthday gifts! Y'all do so much to serve and definitely can be underhyped! Here's to your hard work + love all year round.
