I don’t know about you, but I think being a Godmother (or Godfather) is an awesome honor and amazing privilege. From the moment of being asked to take on that special role, a special connection begins to exist in a relationship that was already built upon love.

Whether you just became a Godparent or you have been one for a long time, there are gifts available for your Godchildren of every age and stage.

Godparent gifts for Babies and Toddlers

One of my favorite gifts for a truly awesome price – A Decade Rosary Chew!

Made by Little Praying Hands these RosaryRingChews are a sized up silicone version of a rosary ring. They are perfect for little hands to hold and a great way to introduce our little ones to an important part of our Catholic Faith while being soft and soothing to teething gums.

These teethers are 4.5 inches in length and have a 3.5 inch diameter.  RosaryRingChews are made of 100% Food Grade Silicone and are BPA and Lead free.

Chews Life teething necklaces (for mom), teething rosaries and cute toddler bracelets!

The first product I recommend from Chews Life is the Saint Benedict Mini Decade Rosary.

A few years ago a friend of mine with a very young daughter was separated from her husband.  She wanted to send her daughter with a Saint Benedict medal to help ease her mind while they were apart, but feared sending something her daughter could choke on – so a real medal was out of the question.  I searched and searched for one for her and didn’t find one until I found ChewsLife products.  This is a great gift for a mom heading back to work after maternity leave or for a situation like my friend’s. Since it took me a while to find a Saint Benedict medal safe for my friend’s daughter, I ended up purchasing her, my daughter and my niece a safe, adorable Saint Benedict bracelet!

Chews Life has gifts for baby, toddler and Mama!

They include pacifier clips, full rosaries, decade rosaries, necklaces for mom (my twins loved pulling on and chewing my necklaces – these are genius products!).  I love that the necklaces come with a Miraculous Medal that is safe for baby to put in his or her mouth!

 

 

Godparent gifts for Boys

A Rosary made out of Legos

A Stainless Steel Money Clip (with a St. Benedict or Miraculous Medal) with money inside it.  When boys grow out of the Lego age they might be a little more difficult to shop for.  I think most of us loved getting the gift of money when we were younger – this money clip gives it a much more meaningful spin and perhaps even more if you have it blessed too.

*** Gift giving tip – “layer” your gifts.  Don’t just give one item.  There’s a chance you thought one thing would be a big hit, and if it’s not, having several presents within the gift will keep the whole experience positive and uplifting ****

A Play Mass Kit or Saint Blocks!

Almond Rod toys has a beautiful wooden Mass kit.  My son received it as a Christmas gift and it was definitely a favorite!

Stations of the Cross Blocks

Godparent gifts for Girls

A Miraculous Medal necklace

The following suggestions are not only beautiful, but did you know Our Lady promised to send extra graces to anyone who wears her Miraculous Medal around his or her neck???  Not only will your Goddaughter love this gift, you will also help her receive extra graces from Our Blessed Mother! (see more info here: Five Reasons Why I Wear a Miraculous Medal . . .)

Young girls who are just starting to wear jewelry and enjoy playing dress up will absolutely love SaongJai’s Catholic Girls’ Pearls Miraculous Medal necklace.

SaongJai also makes a cord style Miraculous Medal & Crucifix Silicone Cord Necklace with Heart Bead and

As I write this, it looks like there is only one left.  But, remember, many shops on Etsy take custom orders, so if you go order one and it is out of stock, simply inbox the shop owner and ask if they are taking custom orders!

For Tweens and Teens:

I love a simple gold Miraculous Medal necklace.  This one I found on Etsy is totally my personal style (simple) and has some great reviews: Miraculous Medal necklace

For the more stylish, trendy, jewelry loving teen, I strongly suggest these two necklaces from Pink Salt Riot!

The Bohemian Stone Sword Miraculous Medal Necklace Stack

French Miraculous Medal Bronze Choker

(I am actually wearing this one now)

If you are shopping for a young girl who loves crafting or making things on her own – or if you have a personal devotion to wearing a brown scapular, I recommend this really cute Scapular Kit

Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Girls

This summer, Be Yourself: a journal for Catholic Girls was a number 1 new release on Amazon!

I love the reviews being left on Amazon!  Here are two out of the more than 30 that have been left!

Toddler Mom
Journal for tweens and teens

Godparent gifts for a group of children or for a family

The Catholic Children’s Bible, Revised (hardcover) 


asked friends in a Facebook group to give me some feedback about:

“a gift you were once given that really tugged your heart strings or truly encouraged you to pray more. . .”

and one woman responded

“We received this Bible for Christmas two years ago. It has helped our entire family pray more!

 

And don’t forget to save the environment (God’s creation) with one of these re-usable bags!!!

The definition of inspiration bag (supports the CatholicsOnline.net ministry)!

or a Prayer Wine Chocolate bag – perfect for book club or adoration 🙂

I have some wonderful news – there are so many options for your child and teen’s Easter baskets that nurture faith and are totally trendy!

Here are some suggestions for your child/tween and teen’s Easter Baskets!

Men and Boys

You were not made for COMFORT you were made for GREATNESS mens tee shirt

Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Boys

Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Boys offers engaging and excellent guidance for a young boy to explore and build his relationship with Jesus. There is no other journal out there like this for boys – definitely get one for your sons and nephews ages 9 and up!

Saint Michael the Archangel Socks 

or Frassati Socks

WWI Replica Battle Beads Rosary

For Babies and Toddlers

Chews Life!

We have one ChewsLife Rosary and my twin toddlers both want to hold it when our family is praying the Rosary together. The company has so many different colors to choose from – blue, green, rainbow – these will look so great in an Easter Basket!  I think we are going to have to get another!  I also highly recommend the necklace for Mama’s (great addition to a baby shower gift!) I went through a couple Miraculous Medal necklaces with the past 2 years – babies LOVE to pull on and chew necklaces.

ChewsLife even sells Toddler bracelets!  I am so excited to put one in my daughter’s Easter basket and purchase one for my friend’s daughter too!

Shining Light Dolls

I am loving the Saint Gianna doll – saint and physician 🙂 . But Shining Light Dolls has expanded their inventory to include SO MUCH MORE THAN DOLLS!  Faith and fine motor skills cross paths in so many of their fun products!

The water reveal cards are great for Easter Baskets, as well as all the different dolls – the classic, the plushies and now – a Blessed Virgin Mary Rag Doll too!

Plus, I highly recommend Shining Light Dolls’ wooden toys too!

Happy Easter Coloring Book!

I am so excited to color these Easter Egg pages with my daughter!

Toddler, Pre-school and Young Catholics

Saintly Heart has an incredible selection of toys and games for babies, toddlers and pre-school aged children!

The Saintly Heart Tattoos are perfect for inside plastic Easter eggs (and my 5 year old LOVES tattoos – I think this will be the second year she gets these!!)

But Saintly Heart also has fine motor skill toys based on the Catholic Faith and wooden blocks that are also a huge hit in our house!

Definitely check out:

The Easter Play Set

The Bath Toys!!! (Saint Florian, patron of Firefighters and Saint Francis themes!!)

The Fatima Lacing Set

The Brother Francis Mass Set

and more!

For Teens and Tweens

Pink Salt Riot has an Easter box for Tweens!!!

The Easter Box for Tweens is a great gift this year because

  1. It is BRAND NEW!  Just debuted in 2023
  2. It is filled with springy things that delight her sense of style and turn her attention back to Christ’s glorious Resurrection – without a cheesy sentiment in sight.
  3. It’s already done for you!

Be who God meant you to be, and you will set the world on fire!” Those words are at the heart of Be Yourself! A Journal for Catholic Girls, which is designed to help girls explore their identity and purpose in life in light of the wisdom of the Catholic Church, including half a dozen female saints.Packed with gorgeous, full-color line art, quizzes, journaling questions, and inspirational quotes from the Catechism and Scripture, the Be Yourself! journal leads girls to discover that they are beautifully and wonderfully made…and that they have a unique, God-given mission and purpose in the world. Recommended for ages 9 and up.

The latest review of the Be Yourself Journal, found on PrayerWineChocolate’s website is from Doug and Grace Johnson.  (Grace is the 12 year old daughter of Doug and Abby Johnson):

Part of the 5 Star Review states:

Grace would even tell you that it’s easy to get caught up in this journal. She’ll plan on spending 5 minutes working in it and before she knows it, an hour has passed by. She enjoys reflecting parts she has already read or worked on as well as exploring new parts of the book. Again, just a great tool for catechizing and connecting young girls to their faith.

I am also loving the Frassati socks for girls – I think it’s the pastel colors that just say Easter and Spring to me!

For Women

Prayer Wine Chocolate Apparel and Wine Tumblers!

The Light Gray Prayer Wine Chocolate Hooded Sweatshirt is perfect for a cool day on the beach!

I love mine – a soft, classic piece and with a convenient pouch pocket that definitely comes in handy!

Catholic Stickers

There are a growing number of “Catholic Stickers” being produced (which makes me so happy – I had a sticker book growing up)!

Some of the places you can purchase Catholic Stickers are:

Etsy (click here to see lots of Catholic stickers)
