I don’t know about you, but shopping for other people can be difficult and many times I don’t know what to get.
This gift guide is a list of items that would make great Christmas gifts for any Catholic. There’s something for men, women, and even a couple for children.
These gifts will help take the person receiving the gift deeper in their faith, whether it’s from a prayer journal, or simply as a reminder of their faith to keep it top-of-mind.
So help give the people on your Christmas list the best gift of all – their Catholic faith.
Too many times, as we prepare for Christmas, we focus on all the gift buying and decorations and lose sight of our spiritual preparation for Christmas.
It is, after all, the reason we are celebrating Christmas in the first place – to celebrate the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As you are looking for gifts for your family and friends, don’t forget to use Advent as a time to prepare your heart for Christmas and the coming of our Lord.

Rosaries from Rugged Rosaries
This is the last rosary you’ll ever need to buy (unless you want to buy more as a gift of course!).
Countless reviews rave about the craftsmanship and quality of these rosaries and how they are essentially indestructible.
They are called rugged for a reason. They are made with genuine 550 military grade paracord.
These rosaries are durable and strong enough for the harshest conditions.
Rugged Rosaries started making these rosaries for military friends with the durability to last and not break. Now, thousands of people all over the world enjoy them.
There are many styles and colors to choose from, but this one is my favorite – the Trappist Rosary – Brown Benedict Rosary.

Catholic Socks from Sock Religious
Who doesn’t love a good pair of socks?
Socks are now part of the fashion statement. There are all sorts of designed socks out there and they are the trend.
Socks are already a top gift staple in general, so you might as well pair it with a Catholic design!
Sock Religious is your go-to source for Catholic socks.
Most of them feature a saint, but there are a few other designs as well.
These are some holy socks, not hole-y. 😉
Of course, my favorite is going to be the pair of Saint Michael, but there are plenty to choose from, including Saint Joseph, Saint Therese, Saint Francis, and more.
They are available in adult and kids sizes.

If you’re looking for some home décor, accessories, or party supplies, Be a Heart has you covered.
With many wall art prints, enamel pins, baby swaddle blankets and more to choose from, you’ll easily find a gift for someone on your list.
Personally, I like the Full of Grace trinket dish. Good for anyone on your list, everyone has tiny things laying around that need a little home. Perfect for your rings and other jewelry, rosaries, or keys.
The dish is 5.5”x5.5” and made of glass. The hand painted design is complete with a gold leaf wrapping.

With the popularity of comics and comic movies right now, there is surely someone on your list that enjoys comics.
Voyage Comics and Publishing is a company devoted to providing amazing stories rooted firmly in the Catholic faith.
There are two series available so far, and both are great – Finnian and the Seven Mountains and then also The Mission of Joan of Arc.
Packed with action, adventure, and of course, cliff hangers that keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more. Both feature an appearance of Saint Michael the Archangel, which adds bonus points in my book. 😊
I’ve read them all and have personally given these as gifts several times already.
We wrote a review here on Finnian and the Seven Mountains.
For this guide, Voyage Comics is offering a special promo code, ARCHANGEL, and is good for 25% off the first issue of Finnian and the Seven Mountains.

Sacred Heart T-Shirt from Archangel Outfitters
This list wouldn’t be complete without one of our best selling t-shirts.
Our premium t-shirts are made of triblend materials which make them one of the most soft and comfortable shirts you’ll own. You’ll love this shirt as soon as you put it on.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a popular image in our faith. It is one of the most well-known Catholic devotions in which the heart of Jesus represents His love and compassion for us.
Our rendition of this Sacred Heart t-shirt design features a stylized version of the image that gives it a modern graphic tee feel.

Books from Scepter Publishers
For the readers on your Christmas list, Scepter Publishers has Catholic books for spiritual growth in many different categories including the interior life, marriage and relationships, prayer, sacraments, saints, suffering and forgiveness, for fathers, for mothers, for teens, for children, and many more.
If you know someone on your list who wants to increase their prayer life, learn more about their faith, or even go deeper in their faith, there is a book for each of these.
A book can do a lot for someone. It can help slow things down in a busy world.
While we are always looking at some sort of a screen that many times is just drawing our time from us, a book can help re-focus our attention to something else. Something that is adding to our life instead of subtracting from it.
A spiritual book is also a good way to help us learn more or go deeper in our time spent with God.
Titles such as Nine Days to Rediscover the Joy of Prayer or The Eight Doors of the Kingdom: Meditations on the Beatitudes will help take the reader deeper in their faith.
These, among others, are both on the best-seller list and I’m sure would be an appreciated gift.
Use promo code ARCHANGEL on your next order for 20% off.
Tie Bar from Our Lady’s Armory
A go-to gift for guys has been a tie for years, am I right? I think at this point every man already has enough ties.
But how about a tie accessory to go with all those ties?
Every man wears a tie at some point, whether it’s for work, Mass, or other special occasions like weddings or funerals.
And I would venture to guess that every man finds it annoying when the small part of the tie sticks out from behind or the tie is flopping around. I know I do.
A tie bar is a great accessory to keep that tie together and in place.
Our Lady’s Armory has several to choose from, but I like this Saint Benedict tie bar. It features the cross of Saint Benedict.
And if the man on your gift list likes some extra pizzazz when he puts on a shirt and tie, there are also matching cufflinks, too!
Now through December 31, 2019, use promo code ARCHANGEL to get 20% off.
The Mass Journal from Every Sacred Sunday
The Mass Journal from Every Sacred Sunday is perfect to accompany you at Mass on Sundays and makes it easy to reflect on the Scriptures at Mass.
It comes complete with the full Sunday readings for each week, a journaling template, spaces to take notes, a place for weekly prayer intentions, and additional reflection space for each liturgical season. The paper is thick (80 lb.) which is perfect to write on and highlight.
You can use it to pre-read before Mass and then follow along during. Take notes in the space provided during the homily. Then, you can go back and journal about how God spoke to you through the Scriptures, homily, or during the Mass.
At the end of each week, there is a place to “go forth” and write down an action that you will commit to grow in your faith that week.
This journal is a perfect way to form a habit of prayer through the Scriptures and to remember the homily.
It comes with a durable hard cover and full color watercolor illustrations for inspiration.
Saint Keychains from Tiny Saints
Looking for something tiny but impactful? These keychain charms by Tiny Saints are great for all ages, and for many purposes.
With an array of many, many saints to choose from, you can find your favorite saints and keep them on your keys, backpack, purse, coat zipper, your car mirror, or any other place you want your tiny saint to be with you.
I love the unique look of these charms. As little as they are, they still have the details that help to recognize each saint.
We are a Tiny Saints family, ourselves. We each have our patron saint hanging from our keys and the kids have them on their backpacks.
Get each member of your family their patron saint to keep with them. That’s something for everyone on your Christmas list.

Music from Bob Rice
Bob Rice is a professor at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, a musician, author, speaker, and host on EWTN’s Franciscan University Presents.
Amongst all of these things, Bob has also recorded 14 cds of mostly original music.
According to Bob, “whether I’m being a faithful husband, loving father, worship leader, author, speaker, or professor, it’s all about one thing—to share the love of God using every talent I’ve been blessed with.”
Most, if not all, of his music is worship songs or spiritual contemporary rock. It is uplifting and if you like praise and worship, then you’ll love his music.
This is a great gift for the musical person on your list or the person who loves praise and worship.
Personally, I listen to this cd, I Shall Be Healed, frequently. You can preview some of the songs there, also.
Music from Matt Maher
Matt Maher is also another awesome Catholic musician and songwriter.
He is my personal favorite and has probably a dozen or so albums. He writes a lot of praise and worship songs and other contemporary Christian music.
Some of his music has reached the Top 25 Christian Albums Billboard chart and he tours all around the world, playing at World Youth Day and more.
Matt Maher’s music is perfect for the person on your list who loves Christian music or praise and worship.
You can find his latest albums here.
Coffee from Calico Jack
This isn’t a Catholic item per se, but lots of Catholics enjoy coffee, am I right? 😊
While the coffee is not Catholic, this company is run by a Catholic family near and dear to me. They have been family friends for years.
Chris and his nephew, Austin, started Calico Jack in response for their passion of coffee and creating the perfectly tasting cup of coffee.
They roast their own beans and currently have 6 different roasts to choose from. So whether you like a dark, light, or medium roast, they have something for the coffee lover on your list.
Their Black Pearl is a best seller if you can’t decide which to try.
Biscotti from Monks’ Specialty Bakery
And what goes better with coffee? Add in some biscotti from Monks’ Specialty Bakery with 6 different kinds of biscotti to choose from.
These biscotti are made by the Trappist monks of The Abbey of the Genesee in New York.
As part of their work to support their monastic community, these monks bake breads, fruit and nut bars, biscotti, cheese crisps, fruitcakes, and more.
“Manual work is an integral part of Trappist life. Each monastic community must support itself by the work of its hands. The bakery supports the monastery’s primary mission, which is to pray for the world.”
By purchasing and enjoying these biscotti, you are also supporting their mission and prayers.
Jewelry from Caritas Dei
I love the beautiful jewelry that Caritas Dei is creating. This company creates jewelry, devotionals, Christmas ornaments, and medals.
The medals are made of bronze and look very unique. They also have reproduction medals and rosary parts that look like they are vintage. So cool!
The jewelry is handmade and designed with the hope to inspire devotion in those who wear it each day.
They have many pieces and saints to choose from, including choices for men, women, and even children.
For the women on your list, I like this Scapular Medal Necklace. It features the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Miraculous Medal.
For the men, this Saint Michael Necklace is masculine and made of real leather with the bronze medal.
Book from The Catholic Gentleman
This one is for the men on your list. The Catholic Gentleman inspires men to holiness, to love God, serve others, and to deny self.
“There is nothing more difficult, rewarding, or manly than becoming a saint. The spiritual life is full of combat, struggle, hardship, and adventure. It requires blood, sweat, tears, perseverance, and courage. It isn’t for the faint of heart. Catholic men are called to leave mediocrity behind and to strive for greatness.” – Sam Guzman of The Catholic Gentleman.
This book by Sam Guzman, Be Not Afraid: A Book of Quotes for Catholic Men, contains quotes from the saints to inspire men to their highest calling – being a saint.
“Though they have long since been laid to rest, the heroic lives of these men still shake the world. And these men still speak to us today. They teach us how to be courageous, how to suffer, how to grow in virtue, and ultimately, how to find God, the true end of every man.”
This book is great for every man to have, to be inspired by the saints who show the way to embrace the call to live a manly and holy life.

Balms from Catholic Balm Co.
With lip balms and beard balms, there’s something for the men and women on your list here.
These balms are all created so that they are daily reminders of our faith.
Let’s start with this beard balm for the guys with beards. The Chrism Beard Balm has a rich aroma of mixed scents that blend together to smell like chrism oil!
When wearing this beard balm, it is a daily reminder of our baptismal promises. How neat is that?

Both of these are new products in their lines of lotions and balms.
All the proceeds go towards supporting Catholic youth ministry.
Exercise and Prayer from SoulCore
SoulCore is perfect for the fitness person on your list. It is an exercise and prayer workout in one!
As humans, we are body and spirit. SoulCore aims to nourish both of these through prayer and incorporating core strengthening, stretching, and functional movements.
The need to involve the senses in interior prayer corresponds to a requirement of our human nature. We are body and spirit, and we experience the need to translate our feelings externally. We must pray with our whole being to give all power possible to our supplication. – Catechism of the Catholic Church 2702
SoulCore is mainly done through exercising while praying the rosary. Each mystery of the rosary begins with a scripture verse and reflection.
The entire time includes guided stretches, push-ups, and other movements throughout.
Each set of mysteries is available on its own dvd. A couple of other prayers are also available as well on separate dvds, including as the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
Scapulars from Archangel Outfitters
This Divine Mercy scapular is perfect for anyone on your list. Help others go deeper in their faith with a brown scapular devotional.
The brown scapular is a miniature version of the Carmelite Religious Habit for the lay faithful to wear.
It is a constant reminder of our profession of our faith, and the confidence and love of our Blessed Mother, from whom we received it.
This version features an image of the Divine Mercy on one side with Our Lady’s promise on the other – “Whosoever dies wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.” It also includes a St. Benedict medal and crucifix as well.
