Yes, I have.
My son gave me a pair of lovely candlesticks for Mother's Day, with crosses on them. I love them. I also got a rose bush, flowers, candy, a lovely coffee cup that proclaims that mothers hold their children's hands for awhile and their hearts forever that pictures Mom as an angel, a book about Mary Magdalene, a necklace that says "Nana" on it from my grandson, and many more lovely things. The point is that some of those gifts were religious in nature...but my children know that I collect angels, I love to read, and I am a devout Christian.
When my husband was alive, we often bought religious gifts for one another. I still have a beautiful little silver cross he gave me, with tiny flowers engraved on it, and many other momentos he gave to me. He is the one who started my angel collection, many many years ago. The print he gave me of an angel drowsing over her book still hangs on my bedroom wall. (I think it was a birthday present.)
Today, there are angels in every part of my house...from the angel over my front door to the little angel bathing in a flower in my bathroom...they are wall to wall. I just keep finding new places for them.

Is it safe to assume you mean to a person who is not religious?
Yes. If it is done out of love and with respect for the recipient, then what is the harm? If I feel strongly about anything, religious or otherwise, and I want to share my life with a person I love and respect, then a religious gift may be an appropriate gift. Love is a two-way street. Both partners have to respect and cherish the other the other. Giving a gift is a way of sharing your life. Religious belief is a part of life.

There are a lot of fantastic literature and media to fantasize in this problem, although the caution label reads"....positioned your faith in no guy...". contained in the ideal international you would come across a non everlasting relationship that has each and every of the chemistry, yet no longer something on earth is unconditional. There are situations and bounds. No 2 people imagine an same or can not administration each and every others concepts. The wish is you'll come across someone to percentage your days with that you'd be nicely ideal and smooth with.

Yes, but do it with caution.
If you want a relationship with this person and religion is a big part of your life, then this person should understand and welcome a gift that is so close to you.
You are the best judge, if you think the person is going to freak, then it seems that you may have to keep your religious feeling to yourself.
Good luck and take care

Yes. I gave my husband (a Christian) a little baby jesus figuring two Christmases ago. I'm an atheist. It was suppose to be symbolic of my acceptance of him.

Yes, I have given my ex-husband a medal of St.Christopher, Catholics believe he protects those who travel. He`s had it for years. He scrapped everyone of his car but he`s still alive..:)
