Spiritual Stocking Stuffers: Catholic Edition

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

Here’s the deal – this might not be the only Christmas gift guide I publish here this year – BUT, I had to let you know about these products before they sell out! Many small business owners are worried about delays in shipping, so they are marketing early and planning on closing shop a few weeks before Christmas.

I want you to get these gifts while they are available!

Here are a few Catholic gifts that are making me JUMP with excitement this year!

AMAZING Catholic Gifts for Stockings!

These play dough kits are out of this world!

This sensory Nativity themed play dough kit encourages independent play for kids and allows for endless creativity and fun. Watch and see their imaginations run wild with this kit!

These kits will be going next to my children’s shoes for the feast of Saint Nicholas! They are 4 years old and 9 two boys and a girl – they all love these kits!

Want to see more Catholic sensory kits that incorporate play doh? Check out Cultivating Catholics!!!

Cultivating Catholics has a Noah kit, Saint Therese’ kit, a monthly subscription program and more!!!

These tattoos, so cute!

My 4 year old daughter LOVES tattoos! I was so happy to see that Saintly Heart has some really great ones available! Perfect stocking stuffer!

Saintly Heart Temporary Tattoos

Temporary Tattoos can be fun gifts for older kids and teens too! I love the ones from Just Love Prints and Pink Salt Riot.

Catholic Gifts for Teenagers and Young Adults

Catholic Phone Accessories

Pink Salt Riot has phone accessories that your pre-teen, teen and young adult children will LOVE. I am confident that they will not roll their eyes at these gifts! Okay, I can never guarantee that – BUT, they will use these even if the eyes roll!

Pink Salt Riot sells screen cleaners, phone cases and phone grips.

If you know someone who loves the “Boho” style, I think they will love the phone grips.

And look, this one looks EXTRA festive :). You could totally put this in a teen’s shoe on St. Nicholas Day!

Another idea for Catholic Teens – a car Rosary!

Refuge Rosaries are very cool -but hurry, only one car rosary left!

Small Things Great Love Rosary

I also love Rosaries from Small Things Great Love! The one-decade Rosary isn’t technically a car Rosary, but could be!

If you would like a gift guide that is separated into age categories – plus you can download and print it out – I wrote this one: The Ultimate Catholic Christmas Gift Guide

Catholic Gifts for Adults and Children

A Handmade Brown Scapular

Sara Estabrooks, from To Jesus Sincerely is selling this creations on Instagram only! Every first Saturday she posts the scapulars she made that month. I’m not sure if she will be doing this in December, so head on over ASAP if you want one! They are beautiful!

A Crucifix from Rough 2 Rustic! Every home should have a crucifix and I LOVE how these are modern and not overwhelming. This shop has great options and are perfect for Baby’s First Christmas, a child’s bedroom or a new home!

Catholic Saints Wine Glass Charms from Madonna Rose Designs. Are you gifting anyone a bottle of wine or wine glasses this year? Throw in these wine charms and you’ll be keeping Christ in Christmas in the most unique and awesome way! There is a Sacred Heart of Jesus Wine Charm!

Chocolate made by Catholics, yes please! This chocolate was donated by the new Catholic All Year Market (formally Pillar and Pearl). You can also purchase chocolate from the Trappistine Quality Candy Sisters!

Catholic Jewelry from Telos. Jessica from Telos does not disappoint! Get your mom a Miraculous Medal and some earrings, get me the Trove box and the jewelry box, get your bff the subscription box and while you’re there, pick up something for yourself.

If you would like a gift guide that is separated into age categories – plus you can download and print it out – I wrote this one: The Ultimate Catholic Christmas Gift Guide

Another super-fun Instagram find that will pair PERFECTLY with the girl’s Be Yourself Journal:

The decade rosary pop-it bracelet

The decade rosary pop-it bracelet!

My middle school radar went off the charts when I saw this one!

Get it from CatholicStickerClub!

Don’t forget to get a subscription to the club while you are there!

Sweatshirt from No Heart Untouched

Catholic Gifts For Men

My husband loves his Saint Joseph Tee from No Heart Untouched.

By the way, you have got to check out this whole shop! No Heart Untouched has a Rosary Abacus all my children fight over, a sweatshirt I want, Winter hats for men (shhh, my husband might be getting one lol)!

He also loves his Rugged Rosary. The WWI Battlebeads are a big hit. Our Lady’s Armory also sells WWI replica Rosaries. They are my favorite style of Rosaries to give men!

I am also excited that Sock Religious has come out with a larger size option as well as “no show” or as I like to call them, ankle socks.

I never bought my husband socks from them in the past for fear they would be to small. This year, I can get him Saint Michael Socks or Saint Joseph ones!

A hat from Kolbes Little Flowers This is an awesome distressed ball cap with the numbers of St. Maximilian Kolbe’s prison number on the front. Has a velcro strap in the back for easy adjustment. Great for men or women. Available in grey, black, or navy blue.

Spark up a conversation with this hat, as people may question what the numbers stand for. This gives you an opportunity to spread the faith and to spread devotion to this great saint, as this was his prison number.

I wrote this – it’s a free download!

Some Family Favorites:

My 9 year old son loves Annunciation Design’s Rosary Tracker

Annunciation Designs has a ton of awesome gifts!

All three of my children are really into Dry-erase activities right now. The Rosary Tracker from Annunciation Designs and the Abacus Rosary from No Heart Untouched are highly recommended!

My nephews who are 5-9 months old (I have 3!) LOVE this Decade Rosary Teether!

My Dad loves this mug from Annunciation Designs.

My twenty-something sister’s favorite gift last year was this sticker from Just Love Prints. I want the mug I gave her this year from Rakstar Designs. Speaking of mugs – I love the big ones! 15 ounces! This one is also great from Rakstar Designs!

My four year old daughter loves stickers and tattoos. I mentioned the tattoos above, but here is a great sticker bundle from Just Love Prints! She LOVES all of these (I was sent some for an honest review, and honestly, we love them!)

She also loves helping in the kitchen, so I am loving this kid’s apron from Annunciation Designs!

And I have a slight obsession with pretty, cozy blankets šŸ˜‰

Want more ideas?

Don’t forget to download the ULTIMATE CATHOLIC GIFT GUIDE!

Don’t forget Advent!

And Advent Calendar that is actually Christ-centered

The Deluxe Nativity Sticker Advent Calendar from Sketch and Sentiment is beautiful. I’m thinking about buying it for my home, so I had to share it with you too!

And please give more boys and girls the Be Yourself Journals!

Be Yourself Journal with Our Lady’s Armory Rosary

Want that Rosary? Get it at Our Lady’s Armory!

My son started telling me “so and so has a crush on me” and asking “can I listen to the top 40 while I empty the dishwasher” . . . so I knew, it was time to give him a Be Yourself Journal.

And guess what! He worked on it after Adoration at home . . . he came and showed me a page and we laughed. He interviewed my husband and I for another page and best of all . . . He said:

“I gotta admit Mom . . . it’s a good book!”

My son, Xavier (age 9 and a half).

The Girl’s Be Yourself Journal is absolutely perfect for the 6th grader or 11 year old in your life! I have had moms tell me they bought their daughters’ one, then the daughter filled it and asked for another! This journal was truly inspired by the Holy Spirit, and this is the perfect time to remind all young girls that God created them exactly how they are to grow in love with Him!

You can also purchase just the coloring pages! You will receive an instant download after you place your order!

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:

ā€œNo one is asking him for anything!!!ā€

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;

ā€œThe flag of the Holy Spirit is JOYā€.

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 ā¤ļø

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 ā˜ŗļø 

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. ā¤ļø 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..
ā€œLook at his white hair!!!ā€

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 ā€œwhite hairā€

Other woman: No way!!!

Baby wearing Mama; ā€œThe Lord knows!ā€
Other woman: He sure does!ā€

Me to friend who also overheard this; ā€œOh I LOVE ā¤ļø this place!!!ā€

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 ā€˜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

ā€œCatholics see wine as a gift to treasure, not an ā€œCatholics see wine as a gift to treasure, not an evil to fear.ā€

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 šŸ· 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 :)

Tag a friend who would LOVE this book!
Cheers!!! šŸ„‚

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.

Do you use a journal to pray?

—>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…

Consider treating yourself to some Prayer Wine Cho Consider treating yourself to some Prayer Wine Chocolate gear and resources to support my shopping šŸ›ļø spree šŸ˜‚ 
Seriously though:

A Miraculous Medal necklace is my favorite accessory besides my wedding ring of course.

My house needs more crucifixes and @houseofjoppa has some beautiful options 

I love candles and the Easter set from @paxrosashop really caught my eye

My favorite coffee mug is from @thelittleroseshop and I’d love another!

I could go on and on… Comment what you would add!

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 ā€œThank you God for this beautiful life!ā€ resonated with me SO MUCH! The reason why is because of what she said after the prayer… she said ā€œif I turn this camera around you would wonder what are you talking about!?ā€ 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, ā€œThank God for this beautiful lifeā€! 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?!

Highly recommend asking someone to pray the Rosary Highly recommend asking someone to pray the Rosary with you.

No matter what is on your heart and mind, you can ask Our Lord for anything and ask Our Lady to talk to her Son about it too.

Nothing is too big or small.

Life is hard, pray harder!

Jesus is my Lord and Savior. God speaks in the sil Jesus is my Lord and Savior. God speaks in the silence of our hearts. Mama Mary calms me so I can get to that quiet place and listen to and rest in Her Son.

Katie and I have been praying together for years… and 3 years ago she converted to Catholicism.
God does miracles, His mom likes to get involved ā¤ļø

Praying the Rosary out loud with a friend is sooo amazing.

Highly recommend.

Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and Holy Week with young children - bedtime Masses and services are definitely not ideal… at least there weren’t for our family.

I once read or heard another mom suggest washing your children’s feet on Holy Thursday… she I tried it and my kids absolutely LOVED it!

In fact, they would ask to wash my feet!

Last year I took my 3 children (8 year old twins and 12 year old) to a Shrine as a sort of modified 7 churches visit.
It was like a holy adventure!

I had planned on taking them to 2 more churches but we stayed at the first place for awhile so we kept it to that one visit.

Holy Week offers many opportunities and invites much silence and contemplation, but young children make what is do-able different.

We want our children to see and understand God’s great love for us. I feel like these activities communicate that- at least partially.

Do you have suggestions for Good Friday or Holy Saturday?
