  The purpose of a Christian women's retreat is to offer the opportunity for like-minded women to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of their lives. At these retreats, women are offered support from their peers as well as spiritual guidance. Often, the women who attend are given gifts throughout the retreat. These gifts are generally small gestures that are meant to serve as support for their spiritual journey.

Book of Affirmations

• Positive affirmations can have a impact on our attitude and outlook on life. This type of positive thinking can be used to instill and solidify new beliefs that are learned through the Christian women's retreat. A book that contains popular affirmations can be given to each woman in attendance, or the women can create their own by offering affirmations to each other and writing them down. The result will be a book of positive thoughts, sayings and beliefs with the ability to lift a woman's spirit.

Religious Themed Gift Bag

• If you are in charge of coordinating the women's retreat, you should put together gift bags for all the women who attend. The gifts do not have to be elaborate or expensive, but they should be focused on helping every woman along her spiritual journey. You can include things like a religious themed bookmark, a pen, and simple journal for her to record her thoughts, feelings and accomplishments.

Laminated Prayer

• Giving a laminated prayer or Bible verse is an inexpensive yet meaningful gift. You can choose a Bible passage that sums up the message you hope all women will understand through their contact with each other at the retreat. It should be something about friendship like "Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty," Job 6:14.
