3 Uniquely Catholic Christmas Gifts

Wondering what to get those friends or family members who are tough to shop for?

Looking for a “uniquely Catholic gift”?

Here are our top three picks for Catholic gifts you probably haven’t heard of!

#1–A Personalized Baptism Candle

Sure, each parish has Baptismal Candles, but this one is personalized with the newly baptized baby’s name!

Do you know any expectant parents this Christmas? This is a gift they won’t think to ask for and is a way that you can celebrate their baby!

This is also a great gift for the older siblings of a soon to arrive baby! In the days leading up to the baptism, they can make this Baptismal Candle for their new sibling—how fun!!

This gift is especially great when coming from the godparents of a new baby—if you have been asked to be a godparent for a new arrival in 2022, this is exactly what you should get your friends for Christmas to help them prepare for your new godbaby!

#2–Epiphany Home Blessing Kit

This is the perfect gift for a piano teacher, swim coach, family friend, or anyone who you need a last-minute gift for this Christmas!

Everyone should be blessing their house this Christmas Season and this easy kit contains everything you need (minus the Holy Water you can get from your Parish—just bring your Holy Water container included in this kit)!

As a special bonus, after the house is blessed, you can hang up the Mysterious Magi Map that is included in the kit. Based on research by Father Dwight Longenecker into what the early Church Fathers understood, historical sources regarding “magi” and the expectations of a new King of the Jews, and a thorough understanding of the 1st-century context of the Gospel writings describing “the East” and knowledge of the stars of the time.

Your children will be mesmerized and amazed (you will, too!) when you understand the reality and deeper meaning of the visit of Wise Men from the East to pay homage to the newly born King of the Jews!

BONUS: This kit has deep bulk discounts so you can get it for multiple people and save!

#3–Family Prayer Kit

This kit has everything a family needs to incorporate prayer into their daily drives!

We spend so much time in the car–school carpool, extracurricular activities, sports, and more. What if there was a way that you can redeem that time as family prayer time?

Based on feedback from Catholic parents, we have assembled the ultimate Catholic Family Prayer Kit!

This kit is jam-packed with over $150 of Catholic aids, including:

• 4GB/USB flash drive–plug it into your car sound system!–containing:
  • 2 versions of the Rosary (Scriptural version & a shorter version)
  • Divine Mercy Chaplet (beautifully chanted)
  • Stations of the Cross
  • 5 Songs from Kids Sing for Jesus
• 40 full-color classic artwork cards–5″ x 7″
  • 20 Rosary cards (one for each Mystery of the Rosary)
  • 14 Stations of the Cross cards (one for each Station)
  • 6 bonus cards with prayers for safe travel and more!
    • Including prayers of the rosary in English & Latin
• Carabiner to hold all the cards together (YES: they are all hole-punched!)
• Holy Water Flask–made of metal (won’t melt in the car…)
• DIY Single-decade Rosary with a Miraculous Medal and Italian crucifix (perfect for passing around the car!)

We included nearly everything moms asked us for…but we did NOT include (sorry!) actual holy water, perfectly obedient children, or a spare driver.

This is a great gift to send your godchildren—super practical for building them up in their Catholic faith!

This is what one mom sent us after receiving the Family Prayer Kit:

“Thank you for creating this! This is a wonderful prayer resource for the car. My 3-year-old likes to sing along to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. We greatly appreciate your products! Thank you!”
