The Ultimate “Little Flower” Gift Guide

This post contains affiliate links. Please see my About Me page for more details.

St. Therese of Lisieux is such an awesome saint.

For years I have loved praying a novena to her and have always been amazed by how she truly does send a rose – or roses.

As a teacher, I was blessed to teach at a school named after her – Little Flower High School for Girls.  I only taught there for a year . . . and the day after that school year ended, my son was born.  For those of you that don’t know, I struggled with infertility for years and that son came to us through the miracle of adoption.

Becoming a mom was my prayer intention every day that year (and for years before).

It’s always awesome to meet someone else that has a special friendship with this saint.  Being in a building with teachers and students who loved her was quite a treat.

Now, I not only have a fondness for her, but her mother, Saint Zelie’, has become quite an inspiration to me as well.

Getting to know how she loved Jesus and others so simply is truly a great way to help other grow in faith.

If you know a big fan of the Little Flower – here are some gifts they will LOVE this Christmas!

Since I found sooooo many products, I broke this guide up into categories:

Just Love Prints also just released St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s Little Way of the Cross | Stations of the Cross Meditations

“St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s Little Way of the Cross” is a beautiful prayer booklet that focuses on the Stations of the Cross and includes gems from Scripture, the writings of Saint Thérèse, and the words of Jesus from the imagination and prayer of the author, Victoria Clarizio.

St. Therese’ Shirt

Made by pycnocline

Available in youth and adult sizes!

Custom designed, custom bleach “dyed” t-shirt featuring a design of roses in a shape of a heart.
The design is a custom design by me and was inspired by St. Therese when she said
“When I die, I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens,I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth.

A Necklace Inspired by the artwork of Saint Therese of Lisieux

Share your love of St. Therese as well as her influential story by wearing her original art.

Our artistic representation of St. Therese incorporates elements of original artwork by this beloved saint, as well as flowers in French Provencal style. The “Little Flower” confessed she was too little to climb the great staircase into heaven. So she said she had to take the elevator. Remember this “elevator” every day—and what the elevator stands for—with this miniature 19th century elevator door with flourishes based on her actual handiwork. Available in 14 karat gold or sterling silver.

Sacrifice Beads in Ceramic Vintage-style Roses

Made by Happy Nest Home Goods

Set of sacrifice beads, modeled after those used by St. Therese of Lisieux to count little acts of kindness or little sacrifices made for love of others throughout the day. Keep the beads in your pocket and each time you offer something up (holding your tongue, stubbing your toe, emptying the dishwasher, anything you can think of!), move a bead towards the Crucifix. This beautiful practice will help foster your ability to see opportunities to offer every moment to God.

The Little Flower: A Parable of Saint Therese of Lisieux

Young Thérèse Martin loved Jesus so much, she wanted to do something great for him. But she is too little to do big things for Jesus…or is she? The Little Flower: A Parable of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux is a wonderful way to introduce children to the spirituality of St. Thérèse’s “little way” with its lesson that even the littlest act, done with great love, is beautiful in Jesus’s eyes. Writer Becky Arganbright has adapted St. Thérèse’s lesson of the little flowers into a delightful parable for children. The young Thérèse learns that even though she might be little, with God’s help, her littleness can be a way of doing great things for God. Illustrator Tracey Arvidson brings the young Thérèse Martin (and the flowers of her parable) to life in gorgeous illustrations.

GUIDE: How to Plan your Own Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat

Be Yourself! Journal

Journal for tweens and teens

I’m Amy Brooks, I connect Catholics! Make Catholic friends that love a GNO! Attend a retreat, start a parish group! Author of Be Yourself Journals 🙂

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.

“I can’t go this year, but next year I hope to!” “I can’t go this year, but next year I hope to!”

I hear this every year when I’m planning the Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat.

And every year I think…” I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this again next year.”

Each year- each day- is a gift.
Getting to plan a retreat for women that truly serves their minds, their souls and their hearts is truly a gift.
But the truth is, I never know if I’ll be given this gift again.

Jesus reminds us all in the Gospels that we all really don’t know what will happen in the future.
I don’t know what next year will bring…

But I do know that when women attend a Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat for a day, they say things like

“I needed this”
“I would have paid you more”
“It’s like Christmas for Moms”

I understand life is busy. I feel strongly that the busyness is a distraction from the stillness Our Lord is calling us to.

If you really can’t attend this year’s Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat, may I make a suggestion?

Get out your calendar and schedule a day to go to confession,
A day to go to Mass that is not Sunday,
A day to get together with someone else to pray the Rosary out loud and a day to spend time with another woman that needs your prayers.

All of these things are available on November 15th.
There’s still time to register!

If you want to join us this year, comment “Register “ and I’ll send you the details.

If you definitely can’t make it, drop a prayer intention in the comments- or message me- and we will bring your intentions with us!
