Dynamic Duos: These Catholic Gifts Go Great Together!

Sometimes we want to give an extra special gift. We want to make sure we hit a couple aspects gifts can be – something they want, something they need, something they’ll read . . .

This gift guide is for those of you looking to give a gift that will make the receiver extra joyful and grateful! All the while, you’re reminding a loved one Who this holiday is all about!

Praise Jesus! Let’s give gifts that bring hearts closer to Him this year!

The Perfect Catholic Gift Packages for Babies and Kids

For children under the age of 3 (toddlers, newborns and babies):

The Where is Jesus Quiet Book and a simple crucifix from Rough 2 Rustic

The Where is Jesus Quiet Book is such an incredible gift to give this year! It’s brand new and it is beautiful! I bought it and my 6 year old daughter keeps asking if she can play with it!

My nephew was Baptized about a month ago, and I gave him a little something that day, but for Christmas, I’m excited to give him this book!

The Where is Jesus Quiet Book teaches our Catholic faith in a fun way and it’s cloth – so your toddler or baby won’t destroy it by ripping it or even chewing on it. For those little ones, I always think cute and durable!

A crucifix is a powerful sacramental. It’s a perfect gift that can be hung on a wall in the child’s bedroom and stay there for years to come. I recommend Rough 2 Rustic because of it’s modern style. I think this crucifix might be embraces by those who may not be on fire for the faith as much as you, the gift giver, is on fire for the faith. It’s a gentle evangelizer.

This duo is great because the child has something to play with now, and a special gift that can be relevant and used for years.

For little girls ages 3 to 8:

Two brand new gifts made their debut this year that go perfect together!

The Shining Light Rag Doll of Our Lady of Champion and the book Go and Fear Nothing: The Story of Our Lady of Champion

It’s true, you learn something new everyday! I did not no anything about Our Lady of Champion before I read this book! What an incredible story about an approved Marian apparition that happened here in the United States! And this book is getting great reviews, it’s currently a #1 New Release on Amazon.

The Our Lady of Champion Rag Doll is gorgeous. I was sent several samples of the Mary Rag Dolls from Shining Light Dolls and I let my daughter pick one – she chose Our Lady of Champion.

If you purchase the doll from Shining Light Dolls, don’t forget to use the coupon code PRAYERWINECHOCOLATE

A book and ragdoll - both about Our Lady of Champion

These gifts compliment each other perfectly and make the other all the more special. And, added bonus, they are both new so chances are the receiver does not have either of these things yet!

The Perfect Catholic Gifts for Older Kids and Pre-Teens

By the time children get a little older, you’ll often hear Moms plead – please don’t buy us any more toys!

At the same time, we know it won’t be long for these children to be “to cool for toys”; so we find ourselves in a little predicament.

Here’s my solution – a practical gift and a book!

I was recently sent some Prayer Pillowcases that my children chose from their website.

This is a neat idea – have the kids pick out which pillowcase they’d like to have! My 11-year-old chose a Padre Pio Prayer Pillowcase. You can pair this gift with a Be Yourself Journal and/or some books from Voyage Comics!

For the girls, I love the Prayer Pillowcase with inspirational quotes and a Be Yourself Journal!

I love this quote pillow from Prayer Pillowcases – sometimes, when I sign a book, I include this very quote!

By the way, I think you could make an incredible journaling kit for a little girl with the Be Yourself Journal, Catholic stickers and fun pens and markers (these scented glitter gel pens look so fun)!

Another cute Catholic sticker grab bag from Sweet Little Ones Shop!

The Perfect Catholic Gift Combinations for Women in 2023

Last year I got a beautiful Catholic Scarf from Studio Senn. This year I was joyfully anticipating the release of Theology of Style: Expressing the Unique and Unrepeatable You

I mention this new book in my latest post and 2023 Christmas Gift Guide: The Best Catholic Gifts to Give in 2023! Definitely check out this post and shop great Catholic gifts from it!

This next idea is for men and women . . .

Perfect Catholic Gift Combinations for Men and Women

Do you know someone who prefers tea over coffee? Do you have a coffee lover on your gift list?

This is a great opportunity to give a gift that the person will love and enjoy – plus you can evangelize a little 😉

Give a pretty Catholic mug (I just asked for this one from the Little Rose Shop and I adore this one from His Girl Sunday’s Liturgy Market).

If the person enjoys coffee over tea – go to Catholic Coffee and get an inspiring brew (k-cups available, wooohooo!) If you shop, use the coupon code PRAYERWINECHOCOLATE to get 15% off!

Mug ideas for men:

Awake O Sleeper Mug from Someday Saints

Saint Nick Mug

Saint Joseph Campfire style mug

If you have a tea-lover, try Sacred Heart Tea.

This gorgeous mug is close to selling out: the Mary Campfire Mug from With a Joyful Heart!

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of th In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to live.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 
Amen.

You are the average of the five people you spend t You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with," popularized by Jim Rohn, suggests that your mindset, behaviors, and success are heavily influenced by your closest  circle. These individuals shape your habits, energy, and future by acting as a reflection of your own choices and environment. 

I don’t know who Jim Rohn is, but my guess is Saint Francis DeSales would agree with him.

Ever ask this question?
I feel like I’ve been asking it my whole life.

Some of the best advice I have gotten have been from Saints.

God has a plan for each of us. We are all called to holiness… but we do not all go by the same path (wise words from Saint Katharine Drexel).

The quotes I included in the Be Yourself Journal are actionable, doable and clear.

Cheers to Friday! 🍷 I was SO EXCITED when a while Cheers to Friday! 🍷
I was SO EXCITED when a while back THE @stephanieweinert Stephanie Weinert tagged me in her #7quicktakes #sevenquicktakes #fridayintroductions post.

I’m jumping in today! 

1. I recently took my own “headshots”. The first photo is one of MANY photos I took. It was super windy that day. If you need professional photos… give it a try - you can save a ton of $ this way! I used a tripod and my phone!

2. I see a lot of people posting photos of 2016. In 2016 I heard Gianna Emanuela (daughter of Saint Gianna) give a talk. I remember thinking, “her Dad sounds like a saint too!” I got to meet her. My husband and oldest son met her and asked her to pray that we could adopt again. 40 weeks later our twins were born!

3. Gianna Emmanuela is doing all she can to help the world see how holy her Father was. She has made prayer cards with Ecclesiastic approval. I’m asking Pietro Molla to intercede for a special intention. I will post more about this soon! He is such an inspiring man!

4. I have two guilty pleasures. I love getting my hair done and every once in a while I get a box from Stitch Fix. My coat was in one of those boxes.

5. I can’t remember all the pictures I chose for this post. I’m super forgetful. It’s not my age, I’ve always been this way. Saint Anthony is busy with just me most of the time.

6. We are taking our Christmas tree down this weekend. I loved our tree so much this year. My husband, all 3 children and me picked it out. We all agreed upon it and it really is so perfect.

7. I’m not so great at tech. I don’t know how to go back and see which pictures I posted without deleting this whole post. I promised after this post I would play a @saints.alive.pod episode for my daughter. I’m off to listen to another episode for at least the 3rd time. Hoping a new one comes out soon 😉 

Thank you for reading all that! I’m so grateful you’re here! Tell me something about you!!!

Thank you Stephanie for tagging me months ago? ago… This is how behind I am on everything!
Who wants friends that pray behind your back!? Who Who wants friends that pray behind your back!?
Who wants friends that will pray with you and for you?

These ladies left their homes to pray together and share some time to just be themselves!

Would you love a girls’ night out with women who s Would you love a girls’ night out with women who share your faith, but you aren’t quite sure how to make that happen?

If you’re seeking Catholic friendships without losing fun, a Prayer Wine Chocolate gathering is exactly what you (and other women in your parish!) didn’t know you needed.

And now, starting this kind of group at your own parish is easy, with the Prayer Wine Chocolate Parish Leader Kit! You don’t need to be an event planner, have a background in theology, or know a whole bunch of people in your parish to get started — you just have to be willing to say “yes” to the Lord’s invitation to get the ball rolling, and we’ll walk you through the rest!

We created a digital kit which you can get BUT grab the FREE resource first (huge thank you to Jessica from @sallykpub who designed it, to @vacationlearning_blog who inspired the movement and @dellamadonnarosaries who sponsored it)

COMMENT FRIENDS if you want to learn more!!

This isn’t a formal Bible study that’s intimidating or involves lots of homework you don’t have time for. It’s simply a low-prep, easy to run, and inviting format to gather Catholic women together in fun, conversation, and prayer. Your future faith friends are waiting to meet you — the Prayer Wine Chocolate Parish Leader Kit will help you make that happen!
