It’s the year of Saint Joseph and our family has loved this special saint for a long time.

Here are some great gifts to give the Joseph you love, the young man who has chosen Joseph as a Confirmation name or to the Catholic you know who simply asks this amazing Saint to pray for them all the time!

I’ve been a fan of Give Love and Blessings for years now. Raina (the owner and creator) has several beautiful Saint Joseph bracelets to choose from:

A Lenten Saint Joseph bracelet

A Jade Light Green Single Decade Rosary Bracelet

Saint Joseph Socks

I love these socks for a few reasons:

1. People always need socks and these look dressy.
2. There is a quote on the bottom that makes me giggle.
3. They are an affordable gift – and not something that causes clutter in the home.

Saint Gianna is a wonderful soul to go to when we desire extra prayers.

Many women who hope to become mothers pray to Saint Gianna and ask for her intercession.

Personally, my husband and I asked for Saint Gianna to help heal our newborn while he was in the NICU for the first 6 weeks of his life.  We taped a Saint Gianna holy card to the back of his name sign on his hospital crib, and we believe she prayed for him fervently.  He’s now a healthy 7 year old boy preparing to make his First Holy Communion!  Praise the Lord! (We received our holy card when we visited the shrine in Warminster, PA)

Our daughter’s name is Jaina.  The name Gianna is of Italian and Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Gianna is “God is gracious” and is the feminine of Gianni and Jane, from John.  Knowing this, my husband and I have chosen Gianna to be her patron saint.  I’m sure she will pick some patron saints of her own as she grows, but for now – we ask Saint Gianna to pray for her!

Perhaps you have a friend who just had a baby girl named her after Saint Gianna;

Or you know a woman praying to become a mother or pregnant and praying for a healthy birth and pregancy;

or you were asked to be a Confirmation Sponsor and the young woman chose Gianna as her Confirmation name – and you want to give a meaningful gift.
Well, I’m here to help.

If you are looking for Catholic gifts in general, I strongly recommend checking out CatholicsOnline.net!  It’s a directory of Catholics that includes artisans and businesses!

Here are some gifts inspired by Saint Gianna!  The first is a beautiful gift for any woman!  Some listed are great for young children, others like the sticker, bracelet, and journal are all excellent Confirmation gifts!

A gorgeous gift box and Pillar and Pearl!

Inspired by her quote, “Whatever God wants,” this box is dedicated in honor of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, who is the first canonized “working mother.” The patron saint of physicians, mothers, and unborn children, Gianna’s life was an example of true pro-life values and of sacrifice for family, and this box aims to encourage those who receive it to live the same way.

Saint Gianna Journal

Gifts for Adults

Daily Task Tea Towel

A book about Saint Gianna.  This book, Journey of Our Love, is Gianna Emmanuela’s favorite book about here Saint Mom!

Between 1955-1962, Saint Gianna Beretta and her husband Pietro Molla corresponded through a series of letters, collected here. Touching, inspiring, and refreshingly human, their exchanges reflect the everyday experiences and the abounding love of a modern day couple, revealing that the way of holiness can unfold in the midst of this world. From balancing work and family life, to dealing with a long-distance relationship, to parenting, to coping with illness and death, Gianna and Pietro conquered it all. But none of it was accomplished without tremendous trust in each other–and in God.

Wall Decor

Whether you are the Godparent or sponsor; parent, grandparent, Aunt or Uncle . . . it’s nice to get some new ideas for gifts around the Sacrament Season.

This week I will be honored to stand as my niece’s sponsor.  Somehow she’s going to high school next year!  My how time flies.

Being given the chance to stand as her sponsor, I can’t help but think of my sister, who is now in her 30’s.  Years ago, I was her sponsor too.

I’m feeling compelled to give them both gifts.

Do you desire to give gifts that inspire?  Are you looking for some “holy but trendy” gifts that hopefully will be treasured and will increase the recipients faith?

Here are some suggestions:

Money

Ok, that’s not inspiring.  But honestly, I look back on those Sacraments and I am so grateful my parents threw me a party and my Aunts and Uncles gave me money.  That money went into my savings and stayed there for a little while.  It helped me go to my prom, and eventually grew into college tuition money.  It’s not unique, but it is helpful and it is appreciated.  However, I suggest you give something with it.  Here are some ideas:

Does the person you are shopping for have a smart phone?  Perhaps they would like the Hallow App!!!

This is an incredible gift to give!  The Hallow App has prayers led by Bishop Barren, Mark Wahlberg and so many others.  The app includes music, Scripture readings, even podcast like courses.

Tee-shirt with a Trendy Rosary

This is a great gift for a young woman or young man from teens to adults.

For the men: 

I love this shirt with a quote from Pope Benedict!

A great message for every Christian to remember when times are tough and they need to push through.THE WORLD OFFERS YOU
COMFORT
YOU WERE NOT MADE FOR COMFORT
YOU WERE MADE FOR
GREATNESS
-Pope Benedict XVI

Alternative options for Men’s Shirts:

Armed and Dangerous Catholic Tee

Add the coolest Rosary ever (in my opinion):

WWI Battle Beads® Catholic Military Combat Rosary in Gun Metal

You can see a handful of options from Rugged Rosaries here on Etsy!

Silver Combat Rosaries

Gunmetal WWI Rosary

My husband and son both have WWI Battle Beads Rosaries and love them!

Another great Confirmation gift for boys is a comic or book from Voyage Comics and Publishing!

Digital Disciple: Carlo Acutis and The Eucharist

Spider-Man and Faith: Essays on Christian Truth in the Spiderverse

More comics and gifts based on The Sword of Saint Michael, Saint Maximillian Kolbe and more.

Highly recommend perusing the shop at Voyage Comics and pairing a few gifts with the Boys’ Be Yourself Journal.

For women: 

Petite Fleur Catholic Shop has a lot of pretty shirts!

I am a huge fan of Pio Prints Tees! Pio Prints has so many inspiring, strong, empowering quotes on soft, stylish shirts.  They are my favorite Catholic tees!  See all the choices here: Pio Print Tees for women and youth.  

A Vintage Catholic Rosary

This French Vintage Heirloom Rosary from Della Madonna is exquisite.

A Cozy Catholic Blanket!

This Ave Maria Blanket is lovely! Made by Petite Fleur Studios, this sweet & feminine design makes this throw blanket a perfect Confirmation gift or birthday gift for a special lady in your life! This soft silk touch throw blanket that’s ideal for lounging on the couch during chilly evenings.

Socks! 

From Saint Michael to Bl. Pier Giorgio – these socks are such a unique, fun and practical gift!  I love how you can get them for guys and girls!  Here are a few favorites! Sock Religious has a ton of saints to choose from!

Jewelry

First and foremost, I can not stress enough how many graces truly come from wearing a Miraculous Medal!  I love the simple style of this one: Telos Art Miraculous Medals (the small options are the best!)

A classic, simple and beautiful option from Telos is this Crucifix and Miraculous Medal necklace

And these are not just for women.  My dad, who still lifts weights almost every day (true story) and is in his 60’s wears one.  His looks like this: Silver Toned Oval Miraculous Medal

One Decade Rosary Bracelets are popular and stylish.  Rugged Rosaries has a Jujube Wood Rosary Bracelet that looks both masculine and trendy.

For girls and women,

 Give Love and Blessings all have a great selection.

Books

A Catholic Bible! I probably should have made that number one on the list.

For women, there are a few journaling bibles out there.

Journaling Bibles are AWESOME!

***If you purchase a journaling bible, add some journal colored gell pens and colored pencils too!!

For men, The Catholic Mens Bible the Great Adventure Bible that is used by Father Mike in the Bible in a Year Podcast is a great choice.For a younger recipient consider the Catholic Youth Bible

Some other books to seriously consider are:

The Other Side of Beauty by Leah Darrow

Manual for Spiritual Warfare

And, of course, Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Girls

A recent reviewer of Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls states:

“One evening, I discovered the girls journaling, coloring, and doodling on its cute pages. As I looked at the book and began to read over it, I was so impressed with how beautiful, uplifting, and uniquely Catholic this journal was! I wish I had something like this when I was a teen girl! With handwritten “letters” from the Saints, amazing scripture verse coloring, quizzes, and creating your own Novenas, this journal was so impressive…”

And now there is Be Yourself: A Catholic Journal for Boys!!!

Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Boys

is designed for boys to understand their identity and individuality, with the help of their Catholic faith.

Packed full of great art, quizzes, journaling questions, quotes from the saints, Scripture verses, and passages from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Be Yourself journal helps boys become the men God created them to be.

Ages 9 and up.

Temporary Tatoos

– I love this for the junior high student (but know some grown up women that love them too)!  Just Love Prints has two right now – one that says, “Be Not Afraid” in JPII’s handwriting and the other is in Blessed Pier Giorgio’s handwriting!

A Sword – 

 I kid you not, I asked some Catholic moms for ideas, and one told me she got her son a sword for his Confirmation – now all her kids can’t wait to be confirmed!

It’s a great reminder that throughout life, they will be a spiritual warrior!

In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  And take the hemet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”

Ephesians 6: 16-17
