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

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!

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

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.
