If you’re anything like me, your inbox, scroll feed, and internet life are flooded around this time of year with gift guides. Maybe you find these guides helpful, maybe you find them simply entertaining, or maybe you ignore them all together. If I’m being honest, it depends on the day for me, and I’ve fallen into each of those categories at one time or another. Some gift guides I immediately delete, others I peruse with little intent of purchasing, and still others I actively seek out when I’m on the hunt for a unique gift. 

This gift guide that I’m about to share is quite niche. Not everyone is looking for Catholic-specific gift ideas! But, if you’ve landed here because you are drawn to the idea of giving faith-related gifts to your kids, other family members, or broader circle of loved ones, you’re in the right place. You’ll find a wide variety of ideas below.

And even if you didn’t set out to purchase religiously related gifts, take a look: the items I’ve curated below aren’t just Catholic, they’re thoughtfully-designed and quality-produced. You might find just the right thing for that one particular person who has not yet been checked off your list.

For young kids

Introduce your children to the inspiring life of Saint Carlo Acutis with this Catholic plush doll. Saint Carlo is known as the patron saint of the internet and of youth, and he was just canonized in September of 2025, making him the first millennial saint. This doll is soft, adorable, and well-constructed, and will open the door to a meaningful conversation about how a young person used the internet to share his faith. 

This Wooden Mass Playset is the perfect way to help little ones grow in love and understanding of the Mass. They’ll get to “play Mass” like St. Teresa of Avila and St. Ambrose of Siena did before them, and this imaginative play will encourage greater attention at church and a heightened reverence for the Eucharist. 

For older kids

Packed full of great art, quizzes, journaling questions, quotes from the saints, Scripture verses, and passages from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Be Yourself journals for Catholic boys and Catholic girls will be both fun and educational for your sons and daughters ages 9 and up. I know I would love loved one of these journals as a pre-teen!

My kids can’t be the only ones who love to collect various items in various bags. While I know that my daughters (who fall in the “young kids” category) would love to stuff this Our Lady of Lourdes Puffer Pouch with an assortment of art supplies, jewelry and snacks, I also know plenty of older kids who would make good use of this pouch to hold toiletries or school supplies. 

For your husband

This Saint Joseph Icon-Inspired print would be perfect for your husband’s office or for your home. It calls to mind St. Joseph’s quiet, gentle strength and devotion. 

For your sister

My sister is the easiest person on my list to shop for, year after year, because all I have to do is want something for myself to know that she would love it as well. 

Take, for instance, this mini Santa Maria bracelet. I love how delicate and colorful it is, and how it would stack well with other bracelets. 

I don’t know how many sets of linens I would have to own before I felt like I had too many linens! The number is high. That said, I never buy more for myself because I don’t technically need any more, but I’d love to receive a beautiful set like these Fatima napkins as a gift, and I have a feeling my sister would, too. 

I can’t resist adding that this “For your sister” category could also be translated to “for your wishlist.” :) 

For your parents and in-laws

My goal when choosing gifts is to find something that the recipient would love but wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves. I think that these gorgeous candle holders fit the bill. They are as versatile as they are elegant, and so regardless of your parents’ or in-laws’ specific style, the candle holders could fit into their home. 

A beautiful copy of a spiritual classic, like Augustine’s Confessions or St. John’s The Dark Night of the Soul would be an appreciated addition to any Catholic’s home library.
