Top 10 Catholic Gift Ideas for Christmas 2023:

1. Miraculous Medal

What is the Miraculous Medal?

The Miraculous Medal is one of the most popular Catholic medals in the world. Initially called the medal of the Immaculate Conception, this medal quickly gained popularity for its association with many conversions and miracles. The Blessed Mother appeared to Saint Catherine Laboure in 1830 and revealed the Miraculous Medal design to her. Mary revealed to Saint Catherine the prayer: “O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The Blessed Mother then said to Saint Catherine, “Have a medal struck upon this model. Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck. Those who repeat this prayer with devotion will be, in a special manner, under the protection of the Mother of God. Graces will be abundantly bestowed upon those who have confidence.” Who wouldn't want one of these medals? Don't forget to get them blessed by a priest at a Catholic Church near you!

2. Pardon Crucifix (Pardon Cross)

What is the Pardon Crucifix?

The pardon crucifix is a powerful sacramental that is one of the most effective weapons used against evil. We've searched the world over, and we promise you - you won't find a better quality Italian Pardon Crucifix for the price. You may gain a partial indulgence each time you kiss the crucifix devoutly among other opportunities listed in the full declaration made by Pope Saint Pius X in 1905. Here are some of the promises: (1) Whoever carries on his person the Pardon Crucifix, may thereby gain an indulgence. (2) For devoutly kissing the Crucifix, an indulgence is gained. (3) Whoever says one of the following invocations before this crucifix may gain each time an indulgence: "Our Father who art in heaven, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. I beg the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray to the Lord our God for me." (4) Whoever, habitually devout to this Crucifix, will fulfill the necessary conditions of Confession and Holy Communion, may gain a Plenary Indulgence on the following feasts: On the feasts of the Five Wounds of our Lord, the Invention of the Holy Cross, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Immaculate Conception, and the Seven Sorrows (Dolors) of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (5) Whoever, at the moment of death, fortified with the Sacraments of the Church, or contrite of heart, in the supposition of being unable to receive them, will kiss this Crucifix and ask pardon of God for his sins, and pardon his neighbor, will gain a Plenary Indulgence.

 

3. St Benedict Crucifix or Medal

What is the Saint Benedict Crucifix?

Saint Benedict is known as one of the go-to saints for protection from evil. Often used in exorcisms, the St. Benedict medal is embedded in the crucifix as a powerful sacramental of the Catholic church to ward off evil. The St. Benedict medal (when blessed) offers exceptional protection from evil and is one of the sacramental medals of the Catholic Church.

6. Catholic Medals (Patron Saint Medals)

Where can I get wholesale Catholic medallions?

We sure do love the saints. If anyone has a particular devotion to a saint (like their Confirmation saint or a saint they feel particularly attached to), a patron saint medal or necklace could be a very unique and sentimental gift that they will cherish forever. Especially if you get it blessed by your local parish priest! Also, if you know of someone that has a particular prayer intention, look up the patron saints for those prayer intentions! Some of the most popular saints are Saint Francis (patron saint of animals), Saint Michael the Archangel (patron saint of police and armed forces), Saint Christopher (patron saint of travel), Saint Sebastian (patron saint of athletes), Saint Maximillian Kolbe (patron saint of addictions), Saint Gerard (patron saint of fertility), Saint Jude (patron saint of hopeless cases), Saint Peregrine (patron saint of cancer), Saint Dymphna (patron saint of anxiety and depression), and many more!

7. Rosaries (Bulk Rosaries or High End Rosaries)

How do I choose a rosary?

It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking to find a special, personalized rosary for a loved one - go with something that reminds you of them. You could get a birthstone rosary if you know what month they were born, a Miraculous Medal rosary if they have a special devotion to the Blessed Mother, or even attach a patron saint medal to one of the jump rings that keeps the rosary centerpiece in place! If you really want to give the rosary gift a beautiful finishing touch, maybe include a rosary case and a How to Say the Rosary Booklet! If you are looking to give out several rosaries, you may want to browse some of our wholesale rosaries in bulk along with some rosary pouches.

8. Discount Catholic Products - Prayer Cards in Bulk, Pocket Tokens, Scapulars, & Holy Water Bottles!

What are some discount Catholic products for Catholic gifts?

Pocket token coins, prayer cards, holy water bottles, and scapulars make great, inexpensive Catholic gifts that are easy to purchase in bulk. If you are looking for Catholic gifts for teachers, RCIA classes, Confirmation classes, Bible study, or other large groups - we recommend starting here.

  • Pocket tokens are metal coins that are meant to be carried in your pocket or purse and are a bit larger than a quarter. They typically have an image of a saint on the front and a prayer on the back.
  • Prayer cards are usually laminated cardstock with an image of a saint on the front and a prayer on the back. Prayer cards can be carried or left anywhere - common uses are for a bookmark, kept in wallet/pocket/purse, left in chapels as gifts, etc.
  • Scapulars are made with pieces of cloth suspended from cord that is meant to be worn as a necklace (near the heart). There are special inductions and promises associated with scapulars - a very popular one being the Carmelite scapular that reads: "Whosoever dies clothed in this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire."
  • Holy Water bottles are typically small glass botles with a metal image of a Saint on the front. They are typically purchased empty and are meant to be filled with holy water by the recipient. They are a great size to keep in a purse or car and always have with you!

9. Rosary Bracelets

What does a rosary bracelet do?

A rosary bracelet is typically a decade of the rosary or a full size rosary that is created as a bracelet so that the owner can have a rosary with them at all times. It makes it easy to pray a rosary on the go (in the car, in adoration, on a walk, etc). You can get a metal or chain link rosary bracelet with a clasp or a stretch rosary bracelet without a clasp.
