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!!!

Saturday’s Prayer Wine Chocolate Event was AWESOME Saturday’s Prayer Wine Chocolate Event was AWESOME!
So thankful @allentowndiocese hosted and organized this beautiful day with the help of Trials to Triumph (T3) a foundation that helps families in the area and created a beautiful space to pray, reflect and enjoy the company of others.

Some highlights:

🙏Over 60 women prayed the Rosary together and I used Julia Miller’s @freshrosary Praying the Promises Rosary guide to lead each mystery. Julia several women came up to me afterwards to ask where they could get a copy… the said it really moved them ❤️

🤗One woman said, “I have no Catholic friends!” to which I responded, “You do now!!” THIS the beauty of Prayer Wine Chocolate! 

🏫 I got to see an old friend from college and it was so much fun catching up with her! Her name is Maria which was one wink from the Blessed Mother - but definitely not the only one!

♥️It was the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  I shared some stories about IHM nuns… I had met with all but one of the group that resides at our parish convent. The one Sister that missed our gathering… well her Mom and sister attended this event! This place is about an hour and a half from my house! What are the odds??? 

Signal graces are so cool.😎 

I hope women who attended start a Prayer Wine Chocolate group in their parish!

Saint Anthony is not my go to for parking spots ( Saint Anthony is not my go to for parking spots ( I mean, the guy deserves a coffee break or something… I’m constantly dialing his number!!!).

My unofficial patron Saint of finding a parking spot is SAINT POLYCARP!
 Years ago a coworker (fellow teacher, we taught in a Catholic High School together) told me she always asks Saint Polycarp to help her find parking and he never lets her down.
Her reasoning…she said, and I quote:

“No one is asking him for anything!!!”

All I’m saying is …it works.
Try it.

A funny thing happened at a recent Prayer Wine Cho A funny thing happened at a recent Prayer Wine Chocolate gathering…

Our Lady ended up at the table with us before we began to pray the Rosary.

And as if it was perfectly orchestrated by the Holy Spirit… she was located at the head of the table.

That night was so incredibly fun. I remember thinking about how Bishop Barron once said;

“The flag of the Holy Spirit is JOY”.

That is what that night felt like to me. The Holy Spirit was there and moving!

Thank you Jessica (@sallykpub ) for successfully running a PWC group during the 2025-2026 year!

Thank you Betsy (@vacationlearning_blog ) for pioneering this adventure!!!

Life has been extra busy lately. Here are a few mo Life has been extra busy lately.
Here are a few moments I’d like to share with you ❤️

1. I recorded, edited and published a reel. I have many on my to do list but responsibilities have pulled me in so many directions lately. I really enjoy making reels. I hope to publish more soon!

2. I thought about backing out of the shore (that’s Philly for beach) field trip and keeping my son home too. I had fearful, anxious thoughts the days and night before. I’m so glad I didn’t cave to them. My oldest son had a fantastic day with his classmates. The chaperones and teacher had a great day too. I think God gave us all a mini retreat. I am so grateful ☺️ 

3. Colleen discovered @thelandmark.cafe serves @sevenweekscoffee a week before the trip and suggested we go there. I suggested we pray a Rosary on the beach. These kinds of friendships make all the hard things in life so much lighter. Plus, we bought matching sweatshirts. ❤️ you @colleeenm 

4. I was an assistant track coach this Spring! My daughter wanted to run and we even convinced her older brother to sign up too! This is extra special to me since this was a sport I participated in and coached for years before motherhood. I’m excited to see my children continue to put their best feet forward on the track and in the field events too.

5. I was a disgruntled, unenthusiastic assistant coach when I first received the Paper Plate Award assignment. As I took on this work, I truly began to enjoy it. I realized how little I do just for the sake of creativity and leisure. This assignment was a gift. I’m super proud of my surfboard and must give credit to YouTubers who make it possible for me to draw anything 

6. My husband had a birthday last week. He took off from work and we had lunch at Panera Bread while the kids were in school. It was lovely and delicious!

7. This year when I chaperoned the Churches and Cheesesteaks field trip I did NOT get a flat tire. This makes for a happier chaperone. I think I ate a Pat’s cheesesteak but it may have even Geno’s. Either way… good. I don’t mind being a tourist in my hometown of Philly. Honestly, I quite enjoy it.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

We were not ease dropping on purpose… but I couldn We were not ease dropping on purpose… but I couldn’t help to listen when I overheard…

One young woman to another wearing a baby..
“Look at his white hair!!!”

Mother wearing baby: I know, we picked out his name before he was born and when we came out we looked up what his name means and is means “white hair”

Other woman: No way!!!

Baby wearing Mama; “The Lord knows!”
Other woman: He sure does!”

Me to friend who also overheard this; “Oh I LOVE ❤️ this place!!!”

The Lord indeed knows!
Praise the Lord!

The Lord knew that I would be planning to make a reel for @sevenweekscoffee … but I didn’t know @colleeenm would have told me about this coffee shop that serves Seven Weeks Coffee and it just happens to be where we were taking our 8th graders on their class trip!

The Lord knew…
He also knew it would be the day of @thelandmark.cafe ‘s soft opening!

We got to order brunch and I must say not only the coffee was delicious but so was the GOAT Omelette!

Thank you @sevenweekscoffee for sending me some coffee! Thank you @thelandmark.cafe for an incredible experience and an amazing Golden Hour iced coffee!#catholic #catholicwoman #prolife #catholicwomen #catholicmom

“Catholics see wine as a gift to treasure, not an “Catholics see wine as a gift to treasure, not an evil to fear.”

I am delighted to share this book written by @emilystimpsonchapman with you!

On Mother’s Day I enjoyed a few moments of silence and solitude on my deck with a cup of coffee and this hardback book that I think is absolutely perfect for a coffee table.

Since I’m a total history buff and definitely appreciate a glass of wine 🍷 I couldn’t say yes fast enough when I was offered a review copy of this book!

I so appreciate Emily’s introduction which I devoured and even took notes (yes, that is me relaxing) on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

My top bucket list wish is to go to Italy one day… so the first chapter is helping me write my dream itinerary.

If you are looking for more Catholic inspired content or even a gift for a friend… I highly recommend this book.

Let me know if you have it or read it! 
If you want the link… let me know :)

Cheers!!! 🥂

Honestly, I quickly realized that I was being rude Honestly, I quickly realized that I was being rude.
I would ever write a letter to a friend and immediately start talking about myself… and yet I wanted to dive right in there when praying to the Creator of heaven and earth?????

Prayer journaling truly helped me in many ways. This was the first way.

I needed to be more grateful.
Some days are really hard… but there is always something to be grateful for.

Shifting my attention was something that I needed; not only spiritually but mentally and emotionally.

Host a Prayer Wine Chocolate gathering! A Prayer Host a Prayer Wine Chocolate gathering!

A Prayer Wine Chocolate gathering is, at its foundation, a Rosary group that incorporates time for friendship and fellowship.

Why start a Prayer Wine Chocolate group?

—>You want more Catholic friends but don’t know how to find them . . .

—>You want more Catholics to return to the faith, and you are looking for ways that will help them feel welcome!

—-> You are in a busy stage of life so a Bible study is not ideal, but you still want to gather with other Catholic women for faith and fellowship

Infertility is a part of my life story… But so is Infertility is a part of my life story…
But so is hope, prayer and miracles.

One thing I know helped me through those dark, hard years were reading miracle accounts of others who had faced this same struggle.

I loved reading miracle stories about women and couples longing for a child or children.
The accounts that shared grief, despair and uncertainty but ended with a dream come true… oh how I rejoiced with them!

Reading these true stories gave me hope… if it could happen for others… why not us.

It felt like an eternity… but it wasn’t.

God gave us our miracle… then He did it again (and again).

It really is true… ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD!

Don’t give up.
One day, someone will want to hear your miracle story too…

I try to bring God’s light online as much as I can I try to bring God’s light online as much as I can… but THANK GOD others are also trying to do this too!
Here are a few people that have helped me see God more in this busy world lately:

1. Kristin Reilly over at @manyhailmarysatatime . I try to pray the Rosary with them in the morning and Kristin offers meditations and little prayers and this one “Thank you God for this beautiful life!” resonated with me SO MUCH! The reason why is because of what she said after the prayer… she said “if I turn this camera around you would wonder what are you talking about!?” In other words… there’s a mess… but life is still beautiful and it’s all a gift. I started looking at my family and saying, “Thank God for this beautiful life”! And oh the JOY!!!!! Thank you Kristin and Jill!!!

2. @siobhanfallonhogan has a podcast with @ewtnmedia called Catholics and Cappuccinos @catholicapps … the conversation with @patriciaheaton has more than one quote I’d like to share. Watch it and be assured… sometimes God says yes to BOTH!

3. @fatherdanreehil … if you are reading this THANK YOU! Wow, if you know someone who left the faith after the whole priest scandal… watch an interview with this priest. I highly suggest the one with @conorgallaghershow because I shared this clip with thousands of people… I’m not exaggerating… trust me, watch it. You’ll probably go down a rabbit hole like I did and honestly, it’ll refresh your soul.

4. The @catholicsonline community has so many inspiring, prayerful, persevering Catholics saying yes to God daily. Thank you @kyliemhein for turning my attention to Exodus 14:14 last week and @catholicwalkthewayeveryday for helping us increase our prayers for our priests.

Your turn… where have you found God online lately?

Ps. Did you come across any I mentioned?!
