2008 Christmas Gift Guide (for women)

Faith and Family Live! bloggers bring you the good stuff

Stumped for ideas? Never fear! Faith and Family Live! bloggers offer inspired ideas for everyone on your list.

Today, our
Gift Picks for Women:

Rebecca recommends:

*My favorite book find this year: The Gift of Faith. May just be the best contemporary book on the spiritual life I’ve ever read.

*Washable suede gloves in a variety of colors

*Support the Christians of the Holy Land by purchasing a beautiful statue of the Holy Family, hand crafted in olive wood.

Lisa recommends:

* I will admit to being a geek with this recommendation, but I think the perfect gift for any lady is an Apple iPod shuffle in pink. Small enough to clip onto her pocket or hip, this fun little gadget will hold up to 500 songs.  She’ll love listening to her favorite music, praying the Rosary or liturgy of the hours, meditating upon each day’s Liturgy of the Word or taking in hours of Catholic podcasting as she exercises or does work around the house.

Rachel recommends:

* For the woman who has everything, try personalized photo coasters. One year I bought a set similar to these (they were leather, from TJ Maxx) for my sister-in-law and inserted pictures of each member of her family. The coasters were a hit!

Danielle recommends:

* Of course, you simply must consider a Faith and Family magazine gift subscription. It’s the perfect gift for any mom on your list—one that offers practical support and faith-filled inspiration, keeps giving all year round, and supports our work at Faith and Family. It’s a win, win, win!

* For a religious art lover, consider this Mother of God icon, exclusively available from Ignatius Press. In an ornate gold frame under museum grade, non-glare glass, and at a very affordable price.

* Would some lady on your list appreciate some beautiful, seasonal music? For a lovely selection of Christmas songs from classic to modern, all tastefully done, try We Three Kings from the Irish Tenors.

* Mothers and grandmothers especially love personalized Rosaries from Rosaries With Names. Family Rosaries are customized with loved ones’ names and many other personalization options are available. Check out a sample image here.

* Pampering never looked so cute! Check out these Fizzy Baker Cupcake Bath Bombs. They look like cupcakes, but are really soothing, fizzy, fragrant, bath “bombs” that you drop in warm water to create an instant bubble bath. All indulgence—no calories!

Stay tuned! In coming days I’ll be posting blogger picks for men, teens, kids, and stocking stuffers ... Happy shopping!

(This list is cross-posted on our Resources page. I’ll add other recommendations there as I post them, so eventually all of our picks will be in one easy spot for your reference.)

Don’t forget to check out Etsy.com for all things handmade! It’s a great time to support (very) small businesses and avoid Made in China stickers. smile
