It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love Christmas shopping and giving gifts that people truly love.
And, if I’m being honest, I like getting gifts too!
This year, let’s give presents that uplift the spirit and encourage faith in Our Lord.
We all know Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. I love finding ideas that can incorporate His love for us into our modern lives.
There are so many businesses and artists out there that make gifts encouraging prayer, love of neighbor and hope!
Here are a few I am LOVING this year!
For teens and young adults:
This is so pretty and a nice change up from the Rosary bracelet (which I also love)! Rakstar Designs is a shop with a whole variety of items. The jewelry is beautiful.
I’m also loving their new mug that states “Morning Has Broken: Coffee will fix it”! These products honor Our Lord and look cool doing so.
2. Temporary Tattoos from Just Love Prints.
My absolute favorite is the “Be Not Afraid” one written in St. John Paul II’s handwriting. Lindsey, the shop owner, also makes car magnets, stickers, phone cases and more. You have got to check out her shop!
3. Add to the theme of being fearless, give this mini-tablet pouch gift set from DaySpring
4. A “Happy Bag” from Natural Life
This company encourages being grateful, choosing joy and spreading hope and happiness! Today we are well aware that anxiety and despair are often experienced by young people. These kinds of gifts are one way to remind the receiver that they are loved after the holiday is over.
I love this Warrior Not a Worrier Prayer box. Fits perfectly in a stocking and a trendy, stylish reminder to pray and give our worries to God!
6. Purple Sacred Heart Boho Bracelet
This unique and beautiful triple wrap bracelet features a button clasp with the Sacred Heart set into textured jeweler’s clay and sealed with resin. A mixture of purple Jasper gemstone beads and pale lavender glass beads are individually and securely hand knotted. The bracelet is designed to wrap three times around the wrist and is secured by looping the button through the knotted leather loop. The total length is 22″ and it can also be worn as a necklace. Perfect for a woman who wants to wear and share her faith in a beautiful way!
For those that still leave your shoes out the night before December 6th, St. Nick Socks are perfect! For Christmas morning, St. Michael and St. Therese’ socks are perfect stocking stuffers and add on gifts 🙂 . Let’s be honest, who can’t use a new pair of socks?
For the guys:
8. A Stainless Steel St. Benedict (or Miraculous Medal) Money Clip by Relics by Rose
Stainless Steel Money Clip for men with a choice of Miraculous Medal or St. Benedict Cross medal. Each piece shows one side of the medal, set into blue or black jeweler’s clay and sealed with resin.
Put some money in it and that gift is a sure winner!
These handsome coasters feature a woodgrain pattern, simple imagery, and an awesome quote from GK Chesterton:
“In Catholicism, the pint, the pipe, and the Cross can all fit together.”
Each box contains snacks and treats from five religious orders from all over the country. There is a large or small box to choose from. Who doesn’t like a snack that taste heavenly???
14. A Rosary from corbands.com
Rugged Rosaries make the user aware that praying the Rosary is truly using a strong spiritual weapon.
Tween Girls
15. Catholic pin-back buttons from Annunciation Designs
16. Shine – 11 Piece Magnet Set from DaySpring
This magnet set includes the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and is perfect for her locker!
magnet set includes the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23)
Where was this “Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry” pencil for my math classes???
18. Be Yourself: A Catholic Journal for Girls!
I’m happy to report this book, which I wrote, is a best seller!!!! You can also donate one so I can make sure more girls get these books for Christmas (donate here: Donate a Be Yourself Journal this Christmas!)
Here is a video review of the journal:Catholics Online Video Review on Facebook
Add an Illustrated Faith Journaling Kit and this Journal It Pen Pack from DaySpring to get them even more excited about their new journal!
19. A small scapular kit from SaongJai
This scapular kit includes two iron-on panel images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, 4 wool woven cloth panels(not wool felt), brown and yellow thread, and two 18 inch strings for connecting the scapular together. This is the perfect kit for someone with limited sewing skills, beginners, or children. It gives the look of a hand embroidered scapular.
For Women
21. Young Living Essential Oils
My awesome friend, devout Catholic and foster mom Caitlyn Anderson from Catholics Online sells these products and was nice enough to send me some when I was recovering from my hospital stay this summer. I absolutely love thieves and that this company not only sells natural oils to soothe our bodies and minds, but they have make-up too 🙂 Plus, you could actually gift someone Frankincense and Myrrh which is awesome.
*The Come Holy Spirit bracelet also features a diffuser bead and hand lettered pendant reading “come Holy Spirit.” Use any of your favorite scents to add a little extra something to your prayer experience.
22. and 23. Morning Has Broken Coffee Mug and a Stay Connected Journal
It does wonders to a woman’s day when she can have a cup of coffee with God 🙂
24. Gorgeous Rosary Wrap Bracelet
This unique Catholic bracelet features a button clasp with your choice of the Benedictine cross or Miraculous Medal set into textured jeweler’s clay and sealed with resin. A mixture of natural shell, gemstone beads and Czech glass beads are individually and securely hand knotted. There are 50 of the smaller beads and 4 of the larger round beads, making this bracelet suitable for tracking the prayers of the rosary. The bracelet is designed to wrap three times around the wrist and is secured by looping the button through the knotted leather loop. The total length is 22″. Perfect for a woman who wants to wear and share her faith in a beautiful way! Made by Relics by Rose
25. Anything from The Little Catholic Box
For children:
26. Louie the Lamb the Lil’ Prayer Buddy
This little guy and company has been on my list every year. I gave one to my niece and my brother told me she absolutely loves it! Santa is bringing one to our house this year!
Move over “JO-JO Bow”, there’s a Catholic Version and they are super stylish!
28. Bible Verse/Saint Quote Pencils
Boys and Girls will love these bold colored pencils that remind them to be strong, courageous and kind!
29 and 30 Saints and Bible Board Books
31. Shine Bright Felt Busy Book
This ‘Shine Bright’ felt busy book for babies will bring hours of enjoyment and keep little hands busy discovering interactive elements. It is inspired by the biblical figures of Samuel and Esther—babies who were loved by God and grew up to be used by Him in amazing ways. A perfect gift for baby.
32. Fishing for Saints Card Game
Love this game – instead of saying, “go fish”, the rules say, “go pray”!
For Families:
This may not fit into a stocking, but I think it is gorgeous and an amazing idea:
33. and 34. The Complete Illuminated Rosary
You can purchase a hardback edition with all the Mysteries or purchase individual Mystery books.
35. Wine in a bag made by my awesome friend Jen at RoseSewsbyJennifer. Not only does Jen sells awesome wine bags, tote bags, scarves, children’s clothing, aprons, tree skirts and more, but she is a devout Catholic who is constantly giving her time to love others in the pro-life world.
And of course – CHOCOLATE!!
Don’t forget the most heavenly chocolate out there is made by the very holy and sweet Trappistine Sisters in New England!
