9 Extraordinary Gifts for Beautiful Catholic Women

This post contains affiliate links with several businesses. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Gift giving is a love language of mine.  BUT, I HATE clutter!

It stresses me out and I find myself donated at least one bag a month to charity.

Gift to me are wonderful – but they need to be really special and often practical.

Here are some incredible products I know I would love!

9 Extraordinary Gifts for Beautiful Catholic Women

1. Miraculous Medal Necklaces

I love that Our Blessed Mother promised to send extra graces to those that wear her medal around their neck.  I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but I have come to find and truly embrace a few different Miraculous Medal necklaces.  I wear on every day.

Some of my favorites are from Telos Art and Pink Salt Riot

and Boho Handmaids

This year Pink Salt Riot has an entire Mother’s Day Collection!

Read more about why I wear a Miraculous Medal here: Five Reasons Why I Wear a Miraculous Medal

2. Rosary Bracelets

There are some gorgeous, trendy, beautiful, amazing ones out there!

Here are my current favorites:

ChewsLifeOUR LADY GATE OF HEAVEN ROSARY BRACELET

I also love Give Love & Blessings and Relics by Rose

Read how the Rosary is a powerful prayer here: The Power of ONE Rosary and

how starting a Rosary group is a good idea here: Five Reasons to Start a Rosary

3. Coffee and Coffee Related Products

I recently saw an article that said something like “Why Coffee is Catholic”.  I didn’t read it.  I think I just shook my head yes, took a sip of mine and kept scrolling.  Lately, my life is more, “prayer, COFFEE, chocolate” if I’m keeping it real here.

I love these coffee mugs made by fellow Christians – and this sign made by Just Love Prints!

Last year my husband bought me two mugs from my friend Kristin’s shop (OneHailMaryataTime and ManyHailMarysataTime).  These are my “go to” mugs every morning!  My favorite is covered in quick prayers.  This year’s version is pictured above.  I love it!

My favorite Catholic mugs out there (yes, if you are shopping for me I want these) are Rakstar Design’s “Morning Has Broken, Coffee will fix it” mug.

And Fawnly’s Our Lady, Undoer of Knots Mug

(My husband even admits to liking that Undoer of Knots mug!)

4. Socks from Sock Religious

I own a pair but I also love them because they are great to give as gifts.  Our family started the “leave your shoes out for Saint Nicholas” tradition a few years ago.  This year I’m excited to put a pair of St. Nick socks in everyone’s shoes!  These are perfect for the feast of Saint Nick, but also for a family like ours who really loves an ugly Christmas sweater party!  Not that these socks are ugly at all – they just add to festivity of the season and make me smile 🙂

5. Helpful Journals

I was pleasantly surprised recently when I met with my Mom’s group and this book was given out by our leader.  A Parent Who Prays.  I’ve had my eye on it for some time.  Then, much to my delight, the author messaged me on Instagram and asked me to review her newest book A Spouse Who Prays


6. Joy in a Box 🙂

Each Joy Box is $85+ worth of PSR products for $25

with free domestic shipping ($12 international shipping).

Each box includes:

  • 2-3 5×7 art prints
  • 6 greeting cards (2 or more designs each box)
  • 2+ vinyl stickers (and I LOVE stickers – if you do to, please check this out: Catholic Sticker Heaven)
  • 2-3 pieces of jewelry, accessories, and other handmade goodies to give + keep
  • Surprises! (surprises have included an extra stickers, a printed gift bag, tattoos, and more!)

And there is a new gift box option that has me pouring over this website, often!

Telos Jewelry Subscription Box

What if, by the end of 2023 you, or a person you love, had a complete collection of jewelry from Telos Art Shop? Our liturgically themed Quarterly Subscription Box makes this dream a reality! Each quarter a new item will arrive in the mail with a unique piece of jewelry and a special note behind the inspiration of each piece. (Images depicted are an example only, final designs will be kept a surprise!)

Centered around the liturgical seasons, boxes will be sent within each quarter (April-May, July-September, October-December) with a theme related to a special feast day or celebration. By the end of 2023 recipients will receive four handmade gifts, including:

  • one set of earrings (sent with First Quarter Box in January)

  • one 16” necklace with Catholic medal

  • one stretch or bangle bracelet with Catholic symbolism

  • one 18” necklace with Catholic medal

Each box will also feature a bonus gift and will include an explanation behind the inspiration of each piece.

Items included in the box will be offered at a lower price within the subscription box and might not be available outside of the boxes themselves.

Select either the Gold Box or the Silver Box. Gold will feature yellow bronze or gold filled items. While the Silver Box will include sterling silver.

7. Holy Chocolate

Not only does this candy taste heavenly, purchasing Trappistine Quality Candy contributes to the support of the Sisters of Mount Saint Mary’s Abbey. Being sustained temporally allows us to continue our life of prayer, prayer for you and all the peoples of our world. You can even send the Sisters prayer intentions through their website – ask for prayers for the receiver too!

Holy Chocolate!

***follow Prayer Wine Chocolate on Instagram!***

8. Catholic Earrings

We could always use a new pair of pretty earrings!  And I have to confess – with the hope that someone will say that I am not alone – I often find my earrings in the washer :(.  I love earrings by Pink Salt Riot, Telos Design,  Rakstar Designs and Relics by Rose.  If my husband is reading this – please buy me these Hope Earrings from Pink Salt Riot!

The purpose of the St. Benedict medal is to call down God’s blessing and protection upon us, wherever we are, and upon our homes and possessions, especially through the intercession of St. Benedict. By the conscious and devout use of the medal, it becomes, as it were, a constant silent prayer and reminder to us of our dignity as followers of Christ. And that color pink – LOVE IT!

9. Catholic Blankets

I love a Catholic Blanket – both getting one and giving some!

It’s so lovely!  It’s so soft and it is a wonderful reminder to find comfort in prayer!!!

Honestly and truly, there is nothing like being in someone’s heart when that person is talking to God.  Prayer is such a blessing and extremely powerful.  Pray for the woman and the women that you love – it truly helps and makes a difference!

The Little Rose Shop has some beautiful blankets to choose from!!!

Striving for Sainthood can be as simple as this… Striving for Sainthood can be as simple as this… 

This type of advice can be really helpful for all of us… especially for a young girl navigating middle school or her early teens.

This advice would have helped me.
Why?

Because it takes some pressure off the high expectations often felt by us as individuals.

It makes God’s will for us feel achievable and realistic.

It’s totally relevant to a student in junior high
(And a slightly stressed out adult)

This page in the Be Yourself embraces scrapbooking fun- just like the back cover. Only this page encourages photographs. Yes, actual printed ones 🎞️📸

Take a deep breath.
Love the next person that comes near you.

A prayer and the story behind the picture… Oh S A prayer and the story behind the picture…

Oh St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, 

I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; 

so that having engaged here below your heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. 

Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. 

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.

My children had off from school on Friday. I had committed to an hour of Eucharistic Adoration on Fridays from to 2 to 3 during Lent… so since they had off, they had to come with me.
It was stressful.
They CAN NOT sit still.
Once I got one to stop walking around or talking, another one started.
But in the middle of all this… I witnessed a sweet moment.
I hesitated to pull out my phone because I really try not to during Adoration.
But, the beauty of the moment struck me, and I had to capture it.
📸 
Motherhood is hard. Parenting is difficult.
But I’m often reminded it’s like farming… and I’m planting seeds.

I just hope and pray I’m planting more good seeds then bad ones.

Thank goodness we can pray and ask for prayers from others!

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

I can’t believe in the past week I’ve posted 4 I can’t believe in the past week I’ve posted 4 videos on YouTube!

And last week’s interview with Dr. Matthew Breuninger (@askacatholictherapist ) still has me thinking about the “psychology of prayer journaling “!

The last 4 videos posted consist of two new interviews (Jessica Castillo from @athrivingcatholic and Dr. John Spitzer @johnspitzermd ); 

a box opening of @pinksaltriot ‘s latest JOY BOX and finally 

a “how to” video that demonstrates how girls can design the back cover of Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls!
Whew!

Dr. John Spitzer shared parenting advice for moms and dads of tweens;

Jessica Castillo shared how our physical and spiritual health are connected;

The Joy Box had some fun surprises… one will be going in my daughter’s Easter Basket;
And my friend’s daughter was the perfect co-host in the “how to design “ video!

Tell me which topic interests you the most… maybe I’ll dedicate an Instagram post highlighting that content!

“I got this for my 10 yr old daughter’s Easter “I got this for my 10 yr old daughter’s Easter basket. She immediately was attracted to it. Later, she came to me and said that it was her favorite item in her basket. She loves it and really has spent time with it. It is motivational, inspirational, engaging and most importantly, designed to encourage a habit of prayer and meditation at a young age. All while focusing on God’s love for us and our uniqueness…”

true God, and true man,

May your Eucharistic presence refresh me in body and soul. 

Mary, Mother of the Eucharistic Lord, pray for me 
and obtain for me a greater love for Jesus. Amen.

Have you ever seen a statistic and thought… thes Have you ever seen a statistic and thought… these numbers are NOT in my favor?

Years ago, I was lonely, depressed and wondering if I would ever not be lonely and depressed.

I dreamed of falling in love and getting married.

But, I wanted to marry a faithful Catholic man… and I believe I saw that only 22% (?) of Americans were Catholic.

And then I thought…
Half of them aren’t men, a large percentage are not practicing and … also how many are BOOMERS?

Lucky for me, God math goes like this…
5 loaves 
2 fish
=
5,000 meals and leftovers

Don’t you love when a plan comes together for a Don’t you love when a plan comes together for a retreat and you see joyful faces! 

Listen, this is the best retreat hack for Catholic girls!
****The Be Yourself Journal Scrapbooking activity.****

Give each girl a Be Yourself Journal.
Explain how, “We are all called to holiness but we take different paths.” ~ Saint Katharine Drexel.

Have each girl pick out a Holy card and two Catholic stickers.

Put scrapbooking paper and Catholic washi-tape (thank you @thestumpofjesse ) on the tables and get them started with decorating the back of their journals.

As they work add more stickers and quote cards to their table.

Point out that they were all given the same set of instructions… yet each cover design is unique.

The same is true for their calling!
God has a unique mission for each individual.

He calls us to follow the Commandments, embrace His Word and trust the teachings of the Church…
same set of basic instructions, different yet BEAUTIFUL results when followed!
“Be who God meant you to be and you’ll set the world on fire!” ~Saint Catherine of Siena
Huge thank you to the women who donated journals and holy cards!!!

Not sure what to do with all those prayer cards? Not sure what to do with all those prayer cards? 

Holy cards can be a fantastic prayer journal prompt. 

Copy the prayer off the back and glue the card to the page ;next to, underneath or above where you wrote the prayer).

Getting ready for a Confirmation Retreat this week Getting ready for a Confirmation Retreat this weekend!

So excited to help these young Catholics see that each is called to holiness… but each mission is unique and unrepeatable!

Huge thank you to the women who donated journals for the retreat (11 donated!!!) and the women from my Bible study group who donated Holy cards!

If you would like to donate a Journal for one of the girls attending the retreat this weekend… send me a private message and I’ll explain how!
