If “Be still and know” is a verse your mom or a close friend loves, you probably don’t need much convincing that it would make a good gift. You already know who it reminds you of. The question is whether she’d enjoy a blanket, a candle, or something for her morning coffee.
We’ve brought that favorite verse to a few everyday pieces, with colorful flowers that keep the designs bright and cheerful. The Be Still and Know blanket and candle are available now, and a matching mug is on the way.
They’re gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas, or a friend you’ve been meaning to send something to. You can choose one piece or put together a few things for someone who would love the whole cozy combination.
A Be Still and Know Blanket She Can Get Comfortable With
The Be Still and Know Psalm 46:10 Blanket is the one to choose for someone who’s always reaching for a throw. Reading on the couch, watching a movie, sitting with her Bible before the house gets busy: there are plenty of places for a soft blanket in her day.
It’s made from brushed fleece, with the design printed on one side. The fabric is soft and easy to wash, which matters for a blanket that’s going to be used often. It can go in the washing machine on cold and then tumble dry, and the fleece doesn’t pill. Care instructions come in the package.
The floral design has a pale aqua background with pink, coral, and purple flowers. It has enough color to brighten a neutral chair or sofa, and the words are large enough to enjoy when the blanket is spread out.
As a Christian gift for Mom or Grandma, it gives her something cozy for home with a verse she recognizes. It would also be a sweet birthday present for a sister or a church friend who loves flowers. You know her taste best: if she enjoys color and keeps a blanket nearby year-round, this is an easy one to picture her using.
For someone recovering at home, the blanket can be a welcome gift during days spent resting. A short note and a favorite magazine or book would go well with it. The gift can be about keeping her company and making her day a little more comfortable.
Which Blanket Size Would She Like?
The 50-by-60-inch size is our most popular throw. It’s a good choice for the couch or a reading chair and is easy to fold up when she’s finished using it.
If she likes to stretch out or wants plenty of blanket over her feet, the 60-by-80-inch size gives her more room. It’s the one we’d suggest for someone who prefers a larger throw for naps or movie nights.
The 30-by-40-inch size is a small baby or lap blanket, not a full-size adult throw. That size could be a sweet Christian baby gift for a family who loves this verse, or a small covering for someone’s lap. For an adult who wants to wrap up, choose one of the larger sizes.
All three are the same soft brushed fleece. If you’re comparing this design with another verse or message, our Christian blanket gift guide includes other options, and you can see all the designs in our blanket collection.
The Matching Candle Makes a Sweet Smaller Gift
The Be Still and Know Candle has the same floral artwork and Psalm 46:10 message in a frosted glass jar with a maple wood lid. It’s a pretty choice for someone who enjoys candles while reading, getting ready for the evening, or spending time at home.
The 11-ounce vessel holds a coconut-apricot wax blend, with an approximate burn time of 50 or more hours when cared for properly. Fragranced options have a wood wick. The fragrance-free option uses a cotton wick.
With several fragrances to choose from, you can lean toward what she usually likes. If she always chooses floral scents, Bohemian Rose may catch your eye. For someone who likes fresh, woodsy fragrances, there’s Balsam + Cedar. Fragrance Free is an option for someone who enjoys candlelight without added scent. The fragrance guide has more details about the choices.
A candle works well when you want to send a smaller Christian encouragement gift or thank someone who has been there for you. It could be for a Bible study leader at the end of a session, a friend who’s been praying with you, or a neighbor who made a difficult week easier.
You don’t need a large gift for those occasions. A candle and a card can be just right. If you’re choosing for several friends, our candle collection has other messages that may suit each person.
When enjoying the candle at home, keep it on a heat-resistant surface, away from the blanket and other fabrics. Never leave it burning unattended. Once the candle has cooled, the lid keeps the wax covered between uses.
A Be Still and Know Mug Is Coming Soon
A matching Be Still and Know Psalm 46:10 Mug is planned for this collection. If your first thought was “Mom would love this with her tea,” that’s the addition to look forward to.
A mug is handy for a smaller gift, especially when you know exactly what to tuck in with it. Her usual tea, the cocoa she keeps for the grandchildren, or a bag of coffee from a place she likes would all fit. There’s no need to make the whole gift match; a few favorites are enough.
It will also give you another way to put together a blanket and mug gift for a birthday or Christmas. The blanket can stay in her favorite chair, and the mug can join the ones she reaches for every morning.
While the new mug is being prepared, you can browse our mugs and drinkware for other encouraging designs.
For Someone Who Loves Psalm 46:10
“Be still and know” comes from Psalm 46:10. For many Christians, it’s a familiar reminder to trust in God. The blanket and candle feature that short phrase and the verse reference, rather than the whole verse.
Perhaps it’s something your grandmother has said for years, or a verse you’ve talked about with a friend. That’s a good reason to choose it. You can mention that connection in the card: “I remembered you saying this was one of your favorites” or “This made me think of our Bible study.”
It’s also a message people may appreciate during a difficult season. When you know a friend finds comfort in her faith, a scripture blanket or candle can accompany your note, a meal, or a visit. If you’re looking for a different message, our guide to faith-based gifts for hard times has more ideas.
These gifts don’t need to wait for a hard occasion, though. Flowers and a favorite verse are just as welcome for a happy birthday, a new home, or a Mother’s Day surprise from the family.
Putting a Gift Together
For someone who would enjoy both, the Be Still and Know blanket and candle make a lovely pair. You could add a book for a friend who loves to read, or give them with a family photo for Grandma. When the mug is ready, it will be another option for a gift built around her favorite drink.
A blanket can also be the whole present. If several siblings are choosing something for Mom, each person could write a few lines in the card. For a friend’s birthday, you might bring the candle along when you meet for lunch.
That’s the nice thing about having a few options with the same verse: you can choose the one she’ll enjoy most. You’ll find more gifts for birthdays, thank-yous, and everyday surprises in the Luxe Palette collection.
