It's the end of the year. For most of you, you'll say goodbye to your Latter-day Saint Primary class and welcome in a new bunch of kids. What can you leave with your Primary class before they move on? How can you wish them a Merry Christmas?
Save it for later, pin it now!
I've gather a few simple and affordable ideas of things you can give your class. These LDS Primary gifts will help your class remember the things they have been learning throughout the year and the way they have felt as you've strived to bring the Spirit into the classroom each week.
Waterbottle Stickers
Kids can’t get enough of these gospel stickers- especially senior primary. Sure, you could just get a cheap pack online but think how great it would be to give out some that are specifically for Latter-day Saints! We’ve got lots in our Market including some that go with this year’s scripture study. Plus, they come packaged with an uplifting card all ready to give.
If you’ve got the extra budget, you could even fill some water bottles with candy and the stickers.
P.S. This year we also have Nativity sticker scenes which includes the Book of Mormon. They’re adorable!
Check off your neighbor gifts, teachers, ministering families, and more with this simple gift idea for Christmas! This Christmas Nativity Gift Set includes:
Printable countdown posters (two variations). Put the poster in a picture frame and attach a washable marker. Each day, write the remaining days until Christmas inside the star whether it’s 76 or 4.
Scripture study page- This sheet goes over 7 groups of people and how they helped to light the world at Christmas time.
7 chocolate candy wrappers plus bag topper. Each candy says a name from the scripture study page: Mary, Joseph, Angels, Baby Jesus, Shepherds, Nephites, and Wisemen. The bag topper includes a scripture about letting your light shine (Matthew 5:16). The back of bag topper quotes the beginning of “O Holy Night.”
Give them as a set or individually!

Looking for a fun treat to share? These Book of Mormon mint candy wrappers are easy to assemble and great to give! Turn them into a reward for reading the Book of Mormon, a holiday and birthday treat to hand out at church, or to get your family excited to dive into the scriptures (eat a mint each time you read).
Your download will also include a bonus object lesson to help teach the importance of reading the scriptures often and repeatedly. You will receive 12 Mystery Word cards to help teach this point (Note: these cards are different from the Mystery Word cards in my Market).
These Book of Mormon mint candy wrappers are also included in my Go and Do Family Date Night Kit.
This is a digital download.
Note: Check your settings before printing! Be sure it prints “Actual Size” and NOT “Shrink to Fit” for the best fitting labels.
Share the joy of Christmas with Christ-centered candy! Some names for Jesus Christ were only mentioned by specific individuals in the Book of Mormon. As you examine these names with the teachings of those who use them, it gives such great additional insights. Use my study sheet to ponder more about Christ this Christmas and share the message with others. There are lots of fun ways you can use this Christmas candy study:
Put a different wrapped candy in each stocking. Take time on Christmas to discuss the meanings and remember Christ.
Make a candy bouquet for your friends.
Use them in a Christmas lesson- divide the study sheet among your class and use the wrapped candies as fun incentives.
Package up some candies in a bag, basket, or simply with ribbon for your neighbors and ministering families.
Surprise someone with the 12 Days of Christmas. Leave one candy each night. On the last night, add the study page and share which name resonates with you the most. You’ll have two candies left over if you do just 12 days.
Make a 2-week advent calendar! Pick one candy each day and study that name further while you enjoy a treat. Look up the meaning using the Bible Dictionary, Guide to the Scriptures, and other tools available in the Gospel Library.
Mix the various sizes of the candy, give them all, or simply pick your favorite names to share. It’s a great way to spread the message of Christmas!
Countdown to Christmas. Fill a bin with mini chocolates all labeled with a name for Christ. Tape the meanings of each name near your bin. Pick one day, read the meaning, study a scripture, and enjoy!
There are 14 candy labels in various sizes plus a study sheet. These candy labels are great for:
Large candy bar or bag of microwavable popcorn
Regular candy bar
Ghirardelli squares candy
Kisses, Rolos candy
Pens, sticky notes, and more!
Start your sweet study now!
Note: Some of the candy labels are more generic to reference several of the different names. For example- Christ references Christ Jesus, Christ the Son, and His Son Jesus Christ. Not all the names are on candy labels but they are all included on the study sheet.

Gospel Themed Candy
Would your primary kids prefer something sweet? Try some of these candies with a gospel twist:
Nativity Candy Study Sheet- Keep the focus on Christ with my Christmas Nativity Gift Set. The set includes 7 chocolate wrappers, a study sheet that you can turn into a quick lesson, and a countdown poster! Save time and chocolate and use only three of the wrappers: Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.
Book of Mormon Tic Tac Wrapper- Easy to assemble and comes with a fun game and gospel message. Or grab the Doctrine and Covenants wrapper. P.S. These are also fun to put inside a stocking.
Make a 2 Week Countdown to Christmas with our Titles for Jesus candy wrappers. There are 14 names for Christ plus a simple study sheet to go with them. They pick a candy each day, read about that name, and ponder it while they enjoy their treat. Watch it in action on my Instagram.
Pictures of Jesus (or the Temple)
Don’t underestimate what an image of Christ can do for someone. I received two when growing up- once at my baptism with my photo on the back. I loved it! It hung in my room throughout the years then put it up in my children’s nursery. The second is pictured above. I received it as a Christmas gift from my seminary teacher during my freshman year. She wrote a simple testimony on the back and put it in a cheap frame. I’ve treasured it ever since- especially as a newlywed with no budget. It’s been really nice to always have a picture of Christ in our home. It’s been faded and beat up through the years as kids have knocked it around but it still sits on the top of my piano with all of my children’s photos.
You can grab this specific image at a church distribution store like in the back of Deseret Book or try a local Latter-day Saint bookstore. This particular one starts at 40 cents making it pocketbook-friendly too. Church distribution also has temple pictures- get one of your local temple.
Faithful Rubber Duckies
Add a splash of joy and inspiration with our Faithful Rubber Ducks! Each adorable duck comes with an uplifting card featuring one of two faith-filled messages:
“Don’t duck your blessings! Let this duck be a reminder to slow down and take the time to commune with God.”
“Float about life’s challenges. May this duck remind you to always look to Christ. Jesus will lift you, guide you, and help you find peace in every storm.”
It’s such a cute gift that will also help them remember to look to Jesus Christ.
Gospel Pens
Soft to the touch and brimming with meaning, our "Faith Guides" pen is a gentle reminder to listen to the Spirit and write that personal revelation down. The chicken icon reminds us of the Savior’s call to gather Israel- ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. Each pen comes with a thoughtfully designed card that reads: "Fear lies. Faith guides. Write that inspiration down."
Or got with our Pray Always pen that helps them remember the blessings that come when they do. Both come packaged with cards and ready for gifting.
Pssttt… we also offer bulk pricing.
Gospel Coloring Posters
Give the gift of coloring plus share your love of the Book of Mormon with our Book of Mormon Stories Tree poster. It’s a great way to review the stories in the Book of Mormon and it includes search and find pages to help you identify everything. We also have posters for the Old Testament, Restoration, Temple, and more.
Looking for more than just one page of coloring? Try My Gospel Coloring Book. You can print multiple copies with the digital download or let us worry about it printing and binding.
Make Gospel Snowflakes
Keep it homemade with our Gospel Snowflake templates. Cut one for everyone in your Primary class and write a sweet note on it such as qualities you’ve enjoyed about them this year, your testimony, a summary of one of the scripture stories you’ve studied, etc. They can hang them in their room to decorate for the season and remember your love for them.
The most important gift you can give your Primary class, however, is your love and your testimony.
Remember to share your testimony one last time before they move up to the next class. And make sure they know you love them because that's what these gifts are all about.
