What's In Your Easter Basket? A Small Shop Gift Guide {and giveaway}

Monday, March 2, 2020

Lent is officially here! I'm always happy to have the opportunity to buckle down and renew my prayer life during this liturgical season, but... there's also the details of Easter to think about and plan for! When I was a child, we got nothing but candy in our Easter baskets. I loved it! But I try to branch out a little when it comes to Easter baskets these days. Below you'll find 18 friends you can shop from to support Catholic small businesses, and I know you'll find something you love. Make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom for an amazing giveaway!

One of the girls has a set of Theresa's sacrifice beads that was a gift from my sister, and they are so sturdy! She loves moving her sacrifice beads every time she doesn't tease her little brother. One of these days maybe we'll manage to get all 10 beads in a day ;)



St. Therese Peg Doll Sacrifice Beads: This set of sacrifice beads, modeled after those used by St. Therese of Lisieux, is used to count little acts of kindness or little sacrifices made for love of others throughout the day. Keep the beads in your pocket and each time you offer something up (holding your tongue, stubbing your toe, emptying the dishwasher, anything you can think of!), move a bead towards the Crucifix. This beautiful practice will help foster your ability to see opportunities to offer every moment to God. It includes 10 beautiful beads that can also be used to pray a decade of the Rosary. This extra special set features a gorgeous hand-painted tiny peg doll as the St. Therese medal.

Several other precious peg doll saint styles are available here.
