27 Christmas Gift Ideas for Catholics (Plus a Giveaway or 3!)

This post is written by Amy Brooks, author of the blog Prayer, Wine, Chocolate, and founder of Catholics Online.

Jesus’ birthday will be here before we know it.

Our busy lives will get even busier during Advent.  We will see the busyness in our own homes and outside in the hustle and bustle of traffic patterns and crowded stores.

Most of us will do some amount of Christmas shopping.

As prayerful Catholics, it is nice to give a loved one a present that reminds the receiver of not only our love, but God’s love too.

Meaningful, Faithful Gifts

And sometimes, as friends, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins; we like to give a meaningful gift that promotes a life of faith.

As a Godparent, we have a special role in the life of another person. Often the role of an aunt or uncle, brother or sister, friend or relative is given an added boost when we are also a Godmother or Godfather.  Getting a gift for that special someone is enjoyable and should hold a special place in the heart of the receiver.

As a parent of 3 young children, I often like to give gift to my children’t Godparents, too.  I like those gifts to remind that someone how his or relationship with my child is extremely special.

These gifts can be for Godchildren – young or older.  They can also be given to Godparents or friends and relatives that will appreciate them and use them as a reminder of God’s love.
