5 Catholic White Elephant Gift Ideas You Will Love

Catholic White Elephant Gift Ideas

I saw Amazon sent an email with “White Elephant” gift ideas and it made me think . . .

we could totally upscale this with gifts that spark faith and beautiful thoughts about God!

We can do so much better!

Forget Amazon’s suggestions, these Catholic gifts are so much better!

White elephant gift idea #1 – unique band-aids

One item Amazon had on it’s White Elephant Gift List was “bacon bandages

– forget the bacon bandaids, give Jesus and Mary Bandages from Be a Heart!!! Use coupon code PRAYERWINECHOCOLATE for 10% off!

Ironically, these Jesus Bandages, are also available on Amazon!

White elephant gift idea #2 – novelty socks

Another popular item listed are socks. Amazon suggest animal paw socks??? Forget those and . . .

DEFINITELY consider Sock Religious for your White Elephant gift! So many to choose from – guaranteed to give a smile and some intercessory prayer!

White Elephant gift idea #3 – funny mugs and other drinkware

Amazon’s suggestion – heat changing Gameboy mug.

Catholic alternative: Saint Michael pixel mug

Other drinkware options:

Stainless Steel Tumbler

not so Holy Water Tumbler from Sagely Sparrow – so funny!

Have a little fun while sharing your faith with this (not so) Holy Water tumbler. It makes a great funny gift for the fun-loving Catholic in your life. Fill it with iced tea, hot chocolate, your favorite adult beverage, or plain old (not holy) water.

Enjoy hot or cold drinks on the go with this stylish stainless steel tumbler! This reusable tumbler with a metal straw is a perfect combo for hot or cold drinks at any time of the day.

A Prayer Wine Chocolate Wine Tumbler!

You can get a pink or purple Prayer Wine Chocolate Wine Tumbler!

White Elephant Gift Idea #4 – Playing Cards

Amazon had quite a few differing playing card decks on their white elephant suggestion list.

Instead of Harry Potter or World’s Smallest DOS, give Catholic Family Crate playing cards! You can purchase these from Etsy or directly from Catholic Family Crate’s website.

Catholic Family Crate has quite a few card games that our popular in our home!

In fact, many White Elephant gift suggestions were games.

If you want to give a game that a little more unique, check out The Catholic Card Game by Board Catholic

The Catholic Card Game by Board Catholic

THE GAME FOR CATHOLIC ADULTS While other party games make you feel like you need Confession after playing and other Catholic products are either too childish or too academic, the Catholic Card Game provides clean entertainment without sacrificing quality or fun.It’s easy to play, relatable, and hilarious.

White Elephant Gift Idea #5 – a candle

Pax Rosa, a new Catholic Candle Company, has a variety of styles and scents!

You can choose one decorated with some art like the Holy Family hearts candle or

one with script, like the Wedding at Cana candle.

Some items can be personalized, and many can be enhanced with a favorite saint medal.  I hope you will consider giving one of these prayerful gifts to one or many people on your list!

The Man on Your List

The Meditation Palm Cross

$12.00

screen-shot-2016-11-25-at-10-08-29-pm

I don’t know if you’ve ever read The Secret or saw the Documentary, but I love the part about how important it is to be grateful in life.  One man tells a story of finding a rock and putting it in his pocket.  He called it his “gratitude rock”.  Every time he felt it in his pocket, it reminded him to be grateful.  Another man once noticed it and and asked him about it.  Eventually these “gratitude rocks” were collected, sold as a fundraiser and helped pay for a sick person’s medical bills.

The Meditation Palm Cross reminded me of this story. Whether you are shopping for a teenage boy or any adult man, this Cross can serve as a reminder to pray and pray with gratitude.  It is inscribed with the words, ‘You are Loved,’ Which will be a great reminder that not only does the Lord love the owner, but so does the one who gifted it to him.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.   Psalm 19:14

Celebration Cufflinks

$15.00

Screen Shot 2016-12-08 at 9.59.43 PM.png

These cufflinks are a timeless sign of a man’s commitment to Christ.  They are appropriate for any occasion as a reminder that God’s merciful grace and generous blessings are reasons for celebration!
But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.  Luke 15:22-24

Wife or Mother

Gracious Words full rosary bracelet

$52.00

graciouswords.png

There are many one decade Rosary bracelets out there; but this bracelet is a gorgeous bracelet – and a full rosary!  I love it!  I’m wearing it right now!  This is the piece that I recommend the most from Christian Bling.  You can get it as is, or,  enhance it with the addition of your favorite saint medal.

Again, if you asked me what my favorite Christian Bling product is – it’s Gracious Words.

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but gracious words are pure. Proverbs 15:26

Endless (necklace)

$85.00

Endless1.jpg

When I hosted a Christian Bling party as a fundraiser for A Baby’s Breath . . . I earned free shopping.  I chose to use my free shopping to gift myself this necklace.  Enhanced with a Miraculous Medal, it’s one of the only necklaces I wear!
Remember, God’s love is . . . endless!
For great is your love, higher than the heavens, your faithfulness reaches to the skies.   Psalm 108:4

Young Woman

My Friend: Velvet Ribbon Choker

$48.00

Screen Shot 2016-12-08 at 9.16.27 PM.png

These chokers seem to be the most popular jewelry gift out right now.  If your daughter or niece doesn’t have one – this is a great “go-to” gift.  Get it blessed before you wrap it for her, and that will make it all the more special.

The slide that holds the cross is pewter plated with 99.9% sterling silver (lead/nickel/zinc free). The adjustable clasp in the back has an extension chain to give you sizing flexibility and comfort.

 

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command.  I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business.  Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.  John 15:12-15

 Young Girl

God is Great Bracelet

$32.00

Screen Shot 2016-12-08 at 9.31.12 PM.png

This is a great stretch bracelet designed to help a little girl of any age celebrate her love for God.  I love all the colors and I think most young girls appreciate the bright and cheery style this bracelet radiates.  Plus, getting jewelry is new for them, and makes them feel very grown up!

May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, ‘God is great!’ (Psalm 70:4)
