Oh, 2020. What a year for all of us!! If nothing else, this year has made me appreciate shopping small more than ever before - this will be my fourth year putting this specific gift guide (and giveaway!) together, and my fourth year shopping from my own gift guide.
Every year this gift guide gets a little bit bigger, and this year it's pretty huge!! I've got all 50+ shops listed in alphabetical order below - from rosaries to stickers to peg dolls to home goods, you're certain to find something for everyone on your list. Be sure to read through the whole post and enter the giveaway at the bottom!
Oh! And a big reminder: While the shops all have recommended order dates below, the mail has been pretty slow this year and I believe it's anticipated to get even slower around the holidays. So order EARLY, or plan on giving gifts for Epiphany to give yourself an extra cushion!

Theresa creates gorgeous Catholic embroidery art and patterns, sacrifice beads, and diffuser jewelry all aimed at encouraging everyday holiness at home!
Theresa offers a variety of adorable
sacrifice beads featuring hand-painted mini pegs, including this sweet St. Therese set! The beads are modeled after a devotion that St. Therese
practiced as a little girl in order to count little "gifts" she made for Jesus each day. Keep
the beads in your pocket and each time you offer something up (holding
your tongue, stubbing your toe, doing a hated chore--anything you can
think of!), slide a bead towards the Crucifix, uniting your sacrifice
with Christ's. This beautiful practice will help foster your ability to
see opportunities to offer every moment to God.
More varieties of her sacrifice beads are available here:
Theresa's
sacrifice beads are so lovely, and my kids get so excited to keep track
of their little daily sacrifices using their Happy Nest Home Goods

Beautiful and durable hand knotted twine rosaries and rosary bracelets in a wide array of colors. You can choose gold or silver medals to complement the rosary or simply choose a hand knotted cross!

These really,
really are HIGHLY durable. Kristy sent us a couple years ago, and our
oldest wore his until it had gotten wet so many times that he could no
longer loosen or tighten it anymore... Then he handed it down to his
little brother, who still wears it! This year she sent us some more, and the kids love them so much that I had to immediately order a couple more in their favorite colors - they've gotten even more beautiful, and I'm looking forward to everyone having their own!

elementary-age children, you'll enjoy experiencing a different saint

St. Nicholas socks are perfect for all of December (and maybe all year round!) to add a little flair to your holiday season! Tuck them into shoes for a surprise on St. Nicholas Day!
I've bought quite a few pairs of socks
from Sock Religious, and I love that they've expanded their offerings!
We've found these to be terrific quality and well worth the price - when
other socks purchased around the same time already have holes, these
are still going strong despite frequent wears! They just sent me a pair of their beautiful Marian Monogram socks, and I've got my eye on some of their clever t-shirts!

This stunningly detailed Sacred Heart of Jesus medal is available in both sterling silver and yellow bronze. The pendant is approximately 1" tall suspended from a sterling silver or 14k gold filled chain.
I
have followed Jessica's shop for years, admiring her items from afar
but knowing I'm such a jewelry minimalist that I'd never be able to wear
anything I bought. But I got two of her gorgeous medal necklaces for
the twins for their First Holy Communion this spring, and they were just
as gorgeous in person as on her website! She just sent me a matching one so that the twins can match each other while I take one of their necklaces for myself ;) So delicate and beautiful!
