Spiritual Stocking Stuffers Gift Guide: 35 Holy, but Trendy, Gifts to Give This Year (plus a Giveaway)!!

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.

In full disclosure, I received products in exchange for an honest review.  All opinions are my own!

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:

  1. The Holy Spirit Chaplet Bracelet by Rakstar Designs*

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

Natural Life products are trendy and positive. This is my sister Veronica. She’s wearing a Natural Life Head Band and holding a Natural Life bag.

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.

5. A Prayer Box

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!

7. Fun Socks!

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!

9. Chesterton Coaster Set

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.”
10. Drinking with St. Nick: Christmas Cocktails for Sinners and Saints
Hot gin toddies. Smoking rosemary old fashioneds. A “wet” Advent calendar. Now you can experience Christmas the way it was meant to be celebrated: with festive cocktails and a lively history of Saint Nicholas and other saints! Michael Foley, author of Drinking with the Saints, presents holiday drink recipes; beer, wine, and cider recommendations; and witty instruction on how to honor the saints in this exquisite gift book that will make your Christmas more spirited than ever before. 
Confession:  I love this book, so it’s not just for guys!
 
11. Catholic Beard Balm
12. St. Michael Socks from Sock Religious
13. The Little Catholic Box – Holiday Edition

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)

17. Inspirational Pencils

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.

20. Lisieux Nail Polish

NAIL POLISH FOR YOUR SOUL AND A HOLY REMINDER YOU CAN TAKE ANYWHERE!
 

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!

27. Hair Bows 4 Life

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!

I would love if you shopped from this list and entered the giveaway!

Any special intentions?
Cheers to Friday! 🍷 I was SO EXCITED when a while Cheers to Friday! 🍷
I was SO EXCITED when a while back THE @stephanieweinert Stephanie Weinert tagged me in her #7quicktakes #sevenquicktakes #fridayintroductions post.

I’m jumping in today! 

1. I recently took my own “headshots”. The first photo is one of MANY photos I took. It was super windy that day. If you need professional photos… give it a try - you can save a ton of $ this way! I used a tripod and my phone!

2. I see a lot of people posting photos of 2016. In 2016 I heard Gianna Emanuela (daughter of Saint Gianna) give a talk. I remember thinking, “her Dad sounds like a saint too!” I got to meet her. My husband and oldest son met her and asked her to pray that we could adopt again. 40 weeks later our twins were born!

3. Gianna Emmanuela is doing all she can to help the world see how holy her Father was. She has made prayer cards with Ecclesiastic approval. I’m asking Pietro Molla to intercede for a special intention. I will post more about this soon! He is such an inspiring man!

4. I have two guilty pleasures. I love getting my hair done and every once in a while I get a box from Stitch Fix. My coat was in one of those boxes.

5. I can’t remember all the pictures I chose for this post. I’m super forgetful. It’s not my age, I’ve always been this way. Saint Anthony is busy with just me most of the time.

6. We are taking our Christmas tree down this weekend. I loved our tree so much this year. My husband, all 3 children and me picked it out. We all agreed upon it and it really is so perfect.

7. I’m not so great at tech. I don’t know how to go back and see which pictures I posted without deleting this whole post. I promised after this post I would play a @saints.alive.pod episode for my daughter. I’m off to listen to another episode for at least the 3rd time. Hoping a new one comes out soon 😉 

Thank you for reading all that! I’m so grateful you’re here! Tell me something about you!!!

Thank you Stephanie for tagging me months ago? ago… This is how behind I am on everything!
Who wants friends that pray behind your back!? Who Who wants friends that pray behind your back!?
Who wants friends that will pray with you and for you?
Let’s bless one another and pray as much as possible!!!

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Why is it that girls can be SO MEAN!??? When I was Why is it that girls can be SO MEAN!???
When I was a “tween” I longed to fit in with the other girls that shared my interests… but, I was not welcomed.

It hurt. It hurt a lot.

I wondered why… why did they not want to be my friend?
Why wasn’t I considered “cool”?

I asked my mom… and her advice to me was, “Just Be Yourself “.

I know she wanted to help me… but I wish she not only said that, but handed me this book too.

That is why I wrote it.

God DOES have plans and talents unique to every person… but when we are young we are still discovering His call for us.

My Catholic faith saved me.

The wisdom of Our Lord and the Saints that surrendered their lives to Him are so helpful.

And the best part… learning this can be enjoyable!!!
If you know a young girl around the ages of 10 to 13 who is struggling… give them this book!

Buy it from me this week and I’ll mail it with a sticker and a holy card!

I highly recommend you add fun pens, markers, washi tape and other things found in a journal kit!
She’ll love it… and you will too!

Move over mean girls… our God is bigger than that drama!

When I was a little girl, I vaguely remember a sil When I was a little girl, I vaguely remember a silver and blue medal fastened to my school uniform with a pin. My mom put that medal on my uniform. I don’t remember asking any questions, but I still think that blue was so pretty.
Fast forward about 9 years, and another memory surfaces… my Dad took our family to a church in a neighborhood we had to drive to. I remember parking across the street and entering the front doors of the @miraculousmedal Shrine. I recall the pads of paper placed on the marble in front of the different statues. These little memo 📝 pads were notes to God, asking Our Lady to intercede for us. I loved that I could write an intention but that one of the suggestions was “for a Catholic boyfriend” I was 15, I checked that box.
But honestly, I wasn’t a “Mary” person when it came to prayer.
Any personal prayer addressed Jesus or God.
10 years later my friend’s Mom gave me a Miraculous Medal keychain. I put it on my keys and life went on…

And over a decade later… it was that shrine I went to with this big idea about a Catholic gift guide and a giveaway.

But confession, many times in between those years each and every time I was going through something hard,I visited that place.
I poured my hearts desires on those little memo papers.
I asked Our Blessed Mother to pray for me.
I begged God to answer my prayers.

And He did.

Without me knowing the details of the Miraculous Medal.
But that time I went in there with the gift guide and giveaway idea… I was asked if I was only going to write one blog post.

That question inspired a second.
I researched the Miraculous Medal and read that Our Lady promised graces, especially to those who wore it around their neck.

More graces? Yes please 

I wrote a post…” 5 Reasons Why I wear a Miraculous Medal and maybe You Should Too”.
Church Pop @churchpop asked if they could publish it.
It went viral… at least viral for me.

And a few weeks ago, I brought about 30 women there for a retreat.

I didn’t pursue Mary, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal… I pursued her Son.
My pursuit was sloppy.
Like any mother, she couldn’t resist helping me a little.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you
No one is EVER beyond God’s abundant love, generos No one is EVER beyond God’s abundant love, generosity and power.
