Ready to bring a fresh, faith-filled twist to your Christmas gift-giving? We’ve rounded up 20 unique Catholic Christmas gifts that don’t just celebrate the season—they help deepen connections, encourage spiritual growth, and bring Christ into everyday moments. Whether it’s a spiritual retreat, a FOCUS SEEK experience, or a saint-of-the-month subscription, each of these gifts can help you share the love of Christ with family, friends, and maybe even yourself this Christmas!
1. Spiritual Retreat Experiences
Consider giving a gift certificate for an in-person or online spiritual retreat focused on prayer, discernment, or specific aspects of the faith. Explore FOCUS retreats to find one that would be meaningful for a family member or friend!
2. Catholic Book Club Subscription

3. Faith-Based Apps or Subscriptions
Gift subscriptions to Catholic apps (Hallow, Ascension) that offer daily prayers, meditation, or scripture reflections.
4. Adult Coloring Books
Try this “Mysteries of the Rosary” one for your creative friends, or maybe for someone in your life who needs a little stress relief.
5. SEEK
Timed perfectly right after Christmas, give someone the gift of experiencing our SEEK conference. If you’ve attended before, you know how incredible it is; if not, this might be the year to treat yourself—and maybe a friend, too!
6. Pilgrimage Experiences
A great gift for family and friends of all ages, a pilgrimage is another unmissable experience for all Christians. And if you know someone who can’t travel, try out a virtual pilgrimage – a lot of them can be found for free online!

9. Saint gifts
Think outside the box and get your recipient a gift from the town their favorite saint is from. You don’t have to travel to rural Italy to do this – there are plenty of online shops today where you can get authentic gifts.
