Spiritual Stocking Stuffers for Men

Whether you are unsure what to get your dad, husband, son, Godfather, uncle, pastor or friend this Christmas, or you already know exactly what he wants . . . I hope this list gives you an extra way to tell all the men in your life that you love them!

You could also win a few of these gifts by commenting below the article! Tell me what you would like to give or receive from the list and you are entered to win!

A Miraculous Medal

This standard Miraculous Medal for men can be ordered from The Catholic Company. It’s only $18.95 and most men like this design.  Usain Bolt proudly wore the Blessed Mother around his neck when he won several gold medals at the Olympics this summer.  His medal was gold.  You can browse the Catholic Company, The Miraculous Medal Gift Shop or even Amazon  to find the perfect medal for each man on your shopping list.  Our Lady told Saint Catherine Laboure that anyone who wears the medal around his or her neck would receive extra graces – so this gift is not only from you, but the Queen of Heaven too!

Drinking with the Saints: The Sinner’s Guide to Holy Happy Hour

For a really awesome gift; pair this with a Drink Shaker with a built in shaker.  This one is 70% right now -such a great deal! MYXER Cocktail Shaker Set 24 Oz – Premium Bar Tools Kit with Jigger, Built-in Strainer & Recipes  This book looks awesome and the reviews reassure that it is!  The book contains both great spiritual reading and cocktail recipes! I like how Father Mitch Pacwa, S.J., host of EWTN Live describes the book, in his words:

“Drinking with the Saints becomes an occasion (if not an excuse) to slow one’s pace, savor a drink, and slip not into inebriation but a relaxed look at the saints.”

Definitely a unique, fun gift!

 

A Book from The Catholic Company

 

gunmetalrosary.jpgI asked both my brother and my husband to choose something from The Catholic Company’s website – and both of them chose a book.  One chose the Manual for Spiritual Warfare and the other chose Cultivating Virtue.  Both books provide short readings, but strong messages.  They also both look and sound manly 🙂

A Masculine Rosary

This Rosary from SaongJai is a simple and masculine hematite rosary with gun metal beads, Miraculous Medal center, and pardon Crucifix. The natural stone gives this rosary a substantial weighted feel in your hands. The gun metal finish rosary is the ultimate weapon for spiritual warfare!  Another option for a more unique gift would be a wrist Rosary from Small Things. Great Love.  This hand knotted rosary is cool for a guy to wear and a constant reminder of prayer. If your guy is not one to wear a bracelet, Small Things.Great Love has pocket rosaries too! Catholic Company also has a nice copper pocket rosary!

The holy Rosary is a powerful weapon.  Use it with confidence and you will be amazed at the results. St. Josemaria Escriva

The Meditation Palm Cross from Christian Bling

 

I love how this matte silver cross fits nicely in a pocket and the palm of your hand – and perfectly in a stocking! There is a hole through the cross for you to place a piece of paper with your thoughts and prayers written down (paper included).  It’s simple and will serve as a constant reminder to thank God for His blessings and ask Him for help with whatever is needed. IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE with Christian Bling through ctbling.com/HisGoodness, WRITE IN PARTY NUMBER 1825, AND YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED TO WIN FREE HOSTESS SHOPPING! WINNER WILL BE CHOSEN DECEMBER 14TH!!! Merry Christmas – it’s a giveaway wrapped up inside another giveaway 🙂

 

 

CHOCOLATE

But not just any chocolate . . .chocolate made with love and prayer.  Trappistine Quality Candy is made by the nuns at Mt St Mary’s Abbey with great joy and love knowing how much people enjoy their candy.  It is truly quality candy and absolutely delicious!  What a great way to support the cloistered nuns who make it and a way to give a sweet gift 🙂  P.S.  Dark chocolate goes great with red wine . . . and I heard it is good for you 😉  Also, I gave my dad a box of the dark chocolate hearts last year and he LOVED it.  Trust me, it’s good.

Saint Michael Chaplet from Rugged Rosaries

Made with a genuine military paracord, this sacramental is unique and a shorter devotion than the Rosary.  Many men have a special devotion to St. Michael and have chosen him as a Confirmation Saint or see him as the ultimate defender of the faith.

COFFEE

Lifeboat Coffee gives back 10% of it’s profits to Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers and other pro-life centers.  The coffee comes from all over the world.  You can purchase K-cups or sample packets to see which roast or origin is the perfect brew.

A Game for the Whole Family

Scattergories has a Catholic Edition!  This game is so much fun – and now there is a faith twist to it!  How fun will it be to see what answers the man in your life comes up with – and how many laughs you will have together while playing!

An Auto Visor Clip

Screen Shot 2016-11-25 at 10.51.13 PM.png

This Prayer Cross from Amazon reads “Dear Lord, protect me, my passengers and all I pass by with a steady hand and a watchful eye”.  You can also purchase a Saint Christopher/Miraculous Medal Visor Clip which some prefer since St. Christopher is the Patron Saint of transportation, traveling, storms, epilepsy, bachelors and more.  This is a very affordable gift and a very loving gesture that let’s your loved one know that you pray he is always safe.

    Such good ideas! The drinking with the saints book sounds like good Catholic fun!
    Of course I’m tempted to get my husband the chocolate but we both know it would really be for me!

    This is a great list!! Very helpful. This is our second ever Christmas together, and the first year that we are doing stockings! Last year we went to my parents’ house (where my younger, still don’t know the secret of Santa siblings live) so stockings were all taken care of for us. I have had a really hard time coming up with small, meaningful gifts for my husband, but this list has sparked some inspiration! I need to find a Miraculous Medal for him, one that won’t interfere with his work (he’s US Sailor, and they have uniform regulations).

    I would love to get a copy of A Sinner’s Guide to Holy Happy Hour!! My husband and I both just turned 21 this year (his birthday is in July, mine in November) so we are just starting to experiment with alcohol. We really have no idea what we are doing, and my husband is always looking up ideas for different stuff to try, so this would be perfect!!!

      Awesome – so glad the list helped and has given you some ideas 🙂 Happy Belated Birthday!! 🙂

    The Lifeboat coffee would be great for my husband who is always drinking coffee! 🙂

  9. Victoria Bettis says

    November 27, 2016 at 11:15 pm

    These are all fabulous finds!! I’d give my family (husband and 3 sons) Scattergories, it would even qualify as a gift for me as I’m always on the look out for things to gently nudge the faith and not necessarily feel like I’m wacking them over the head with lessons.

    The small medal would be universal for everyone. A gentle reminder easy to carry in a pocket or wallet where it could send a consistent reminder of a greater love.

    My dad, the rosary would be a grand slam. He’s an old school man and this would qualify as ‘manly!’

    For me, no brainer the chocolates and coffee would rock my world and they do god for the world! I’d share with my Christ sisters!

    Your work is wonderful, enjoy Advent and the wonder of the season.

    I’ve been thinking of getting drinking with the saints for someone this Christmas! Maybe I should make it St. Nicholas so we can benefit from it sooner. 😉

We've been watching THE CHOSEN . . . Why? Well b We've been watching THE CHOSEN . . .

Why?  Well because I could not watch yet another episode of America's Funniest Home Videos (now called AFV or as my 5 year old son calls it "epic fails").

I will be honest with you, I watched the first episode years ago and thought, "this is boring".

But I kept hearing about it and all I heard were positive things.

I watched Season 2 begin Live on Facebook, and I did like it - but I didn't watch any more than those two LIVE episodes that I can remember.

I have been wanting to watch it, but just couldn’t find the motivation- then I thought I would enjoy it more if my husband and I watched it together. 
Then thought, this is the perfect show to watch as a family!

When I was growing up, there were certain nights we all watched the same show:
The Dukes of Hazard
Family Ties, Growing Pains, and dare I say it - The Cosby Show?
My younger siblings would watch what was known as TGIF - Full House and Family Matters

Today, we have way to many choices.  Everyone wants a turn to pick a show.
This show, The Chosen, is bringing us together as a family.

My 5 year old asks, "Can we watch The Chosen tonight?"
My 10 year old says he doesn't like it . . .then he scoots up next to me and says he actually does like it.

My daughter falls asleep on my lap while we watch it.

And I'm happy to report, I've laughed out loud a few times!  I'm also looking forward to watching it again with my family (we sit down a couple times a week to watch an episode!)

Have you watched it?  Tell us in the comments!

Prayers that filled my head and heart when struggl Prayers that filled my head and heart when struggling with infertility:

🌹 lots of novenas to Saint Therese’
✏️ many letters to God in my journal… some addresses to Jesus, some to Our Loving Father… others, I can’t recall. Lots of pouring my heart out.
📝 Letters to Saints… I remember writing to Saint Nicholas… patron Saint of children and honestly, infertility is extra heavy around Christmas… so many dreams would feel out of reach. My heart believes in miracles and treasures memories of jolly old Saint Nick… it just made sense to me.
📿 many Rosaries with friends 
And one more thing that I can recall at this moment…
A written description of the children I envisioned being mine.
There were 3.
One loved science. One had a very special bond with my brother. I don’t recall being specific about boys v girls.
But I described them.
Maybe that was how I surrendered my prayer to God.
If you are struggling with infertility… never give up on prayer.

There’s a beautiful song you might have heard ti There’s a beautiful song you might have heard titled In Jesus Name (God of Possible)
This song was created from an entry in Katy Nichole's prayer journal!
It has gone on to impact millions of people worldwide, and that number continues to grow every day!

I highly recommend listening to this song… and maybe even writing part of the words - if not all- in your prayer journal.

I had to share this with you! Please give prayer journaling a try… God only know what beautiful words and melodies will be revealed to you!

I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name

I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name, in Jesus name

I speak the name of all authority
Declaring blessings, every promise
He is faithful to keep
I speak the name no grave could ever hold
He is greater, He is stronger
He's the God of possible

I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name
I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name
In Jesus name

Come believe it
Come receive it
Oh, the power of His Spirit is now forever yours
Come believe it
Come receive it
In the mighty name of Jesus, all things are possible
I pray for your healing
That circumstances will change
I pray that the fear inside will flee in Jesus name
