My Favorite Catholic Easter Basket Gifts

This post contains affiliate or associate links with several businesses (which means if you shop through the links, I earn a small commission). As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I’m feeling called to make our family Easter baskets more “Catholic” this year.

Since we will not be able to celebrate the traditional way that includes Mass, I see an opportunity to spark the faith through our children’s Easter Baskets.

Here’s what I am ordering for our children:

Our 7 year old son:

Brother Lorenzo’s Pretzels*

I recently heard that pretzels were invented by a monk who wanted to reward young children for learning their prayers! This book tells that story!

This is a fun book that teaches about the Holy Trinity is such a fun way!

The story of Brother Lorenzo and how he happened upon a simple teaching tool in his monastery kitchen. This beautifully illustrated book will help pass on an important aspect of faith to children through an entertaining story that offers readers likeable and relatable characters.

*I did order this from Amazon – I’m hoping to get lucky and have it on time for Easter. If not, it’s still a great book for any time of year!

A Miraculous Medal

I like the ball chain look and the silver. Reminds me of army dog tags. The price is right too – only $4.00!

Our 3 Year Old Daughter

A Miraculous Medal necklace from Paradise Jewelry!

A Bumble Gum Bead Catholic Necklace

Saintly Rhymes for Modern Times

I want to add this Story Egg Book and Toy Gift Set, but I’m not sure if we’ll get it on time for Easter! I am sure the twins would LOVE it!

Our 3 Year Old Son’s Easter Basket

Stay Close to Christ is still shipping gifts. Our son is REALLY into trucks and trains . . . so I’m thinking this book will grab his attention!

The Children’s Book of Angels

I absolutely love this book is informative and the illustrations are beautiful!

For the Bride to Be

Created for Love: Reflections for the Catholic Bride-to-Be 

For the Tweens and Teens

Stickers from Someday Saints!

The Be Yourself Journal! I have a handful left in stock and can mail it to you this week!

A Miraculous Medal from Telos Art

Holy Socks

Everyone in my house needs socks right now. These are a great gift! And your purchase will also be an act of almsgiving – small businesses always need your support!

For the whole Family

Trappistine Quality Candy

The Trappistine Sisters are a cloistered community who “shelter at home” as a way of life, bringing you added assurance in this Covid-19 environment.

Let them sweeten your Easter in a safe, delicious way! Delivered safely to your door! Added bonus, you are supporting Catholic nuns! Definitely an act of almsgiving with this purchase. Plus, if you message them a prayer request they will certainly pray for you too!

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!

Stella Maris, pray for us!

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 😂!?
