• Whether it's a thank-you for officiating at a wedding or baptism or a thank-you for a favor or for coaching a baseball team, giving your pastor or priest a thank-you gift is a nice gesture that certainly will be appreciated. When gifting your pastor, you don't have to spend a lot of money, as it is truly the thought that counts. Some thank-you gift ideas for your pastor follow.
  
  

Writing Instrument

• Your pastor is continually signing documents such as baptismal records and marriage licenses. A good-quality pen will allow your pastor to sign in style.
  
  

Restaurant Gift Card

• Consider a restaurant gift card to your pastor's favorite restaurant. Time off to enjoy a good meal at a high-quality restaurant will certainly be appreciated and is a nice gesture of thanks.
  
  

Scrapbook

• Collect pictures and mementos from church-related events at which your pastor helped out, and place these in a scrapbook. Ask fellow parishioners or those involved with the events to write thank-you notes, and add these to the scrapbook.
  
  

Tickets

• Give your pastor tickets to a sporting event or the local movie theater. When giving tickets to a stadium event, include a parking pass.
  
  

Books

• Give your pastor the latest motivational book for sermon ideas, the latest historical novel or a current bestseller. If your pastor is constantly on the move, then an audiobook to listen to in the car is a good idea.
