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

photo of two gifts that go together - a Catholic Scarf and a book titled Theology of Style

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!

Meet our Retreat Speaker: Sarah Dickerson! Not onl Meet our Retreat Speaker: Sarah Dickerson!
Not only is Sarah one of the Founders of @msc_highschool Martin Saints Classical High School, a Master of Theology as well as Theology of the Body and an experienced lecturer… she is also no stranger to Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreats!
But none of those reasons is why she was chosen to give a talk at this year’s retreat.
She was chosen because Sarah would put the best Zen  Master to shame (thank you Colleen for this incredible description).
When I want advice, I often go to Sarah.
If you know Sarah and you are asked to think of the calmest person you know… you think of Sarah.
Sarah has 7 children.
Sarah works, volunteers, entertains and often picks up adjunct positions at the archdiocese’s seminary.
Yet through it all, she remains Calm in Christ.

There are still a handful of spots left for the 2026 Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat. Registration will close when spots fill up or on Thursday… whichever comes first!

Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed… Cabbage.Patch. Diary. What I had v. what I needed…
When I discovered this in my basement, my daughter grabbed it and ran off… I still have some speed left in me. “Secrets” recovered 😅.

Writing in a diary or a journal is much different than writing and sharing on social media… especially for kids and teens. Dr. Leonard Sax (author of The Collapse of Parenting) shares in his talks how writing in a diary or journal is living… but writing and posting is performing.

The young need the space to write out of the public eye.

Also… remember the Cabbage Patch Kids 😂!?
