We already had gifts/ideas for most of the children, but I was having a difficult time coming up with something faith based to put under the tree for Chiquita... (I already have one of the Shining Light Dolls for her stocking.) I was so excited to hear that Holy Heroes has just released a brand new Glory Story CD: Secrets from Heaven - The Children of Fatima! (If you buy it today you can also choose a free Holy Rosary CD!) It will be perfect for her!
I have decided to wrap the two CDs along with a copy of the St. Mary's Messenger 2013 Summer Issue (which she hasn't seen yet and which featured one of her past birthday parties!) and a St. Mary's Messenger Subscription as her "faith based" gift. She is going to love it!
St. Mary's Messenger is a full-sized, full-color, standalone, 32-page, quarterly Catholic magazine for kids, ages 7 to 12! The yearly subscriptions (4 issues) are available for $19.95. I've posted more about St. Mary's Messenger here.
St. Mary's Messenger has generously offered to give complimentary subscriptions to TWO of my visitors here at Shower of Roses! If you would like to be entered in the giveaway, please use the Rafflecopter entry box below:
Jessica, you always have such fantastic ideas. Where oh where do you find the time? Have a Blessed Advent and Christmas Season!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Thanks for offering it. I've been looking for some ways and products to keep my young children involved and excited about their faith - this looks like a perfect treat to receive in the mail. =)

ReplyDeleteThank you for this blog. It has enriched our family's faith. I would love to win a subscription to this magazine for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI really like breaking the gifts into 3 categories like that. I guess I have been mostly doing that but organizing it that way makes gift choices easier. Thanks for the give away, have a great Advent.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of Glory Stories, but had not heard of St. Mary's Messenger! It looks wonderful!

I love your idea of the three presents, we have been doing 'want, need, wear, read', but I really like your approach. We have baby 5 on the way, so things are getting tighter financially all the time. Dropping a gift each may help, and your categories are lovely! Do you do anything from 'Santa'? Just wondering how you approach that issue. I still haven't totally worked it out, other than constantly reminding the kids that Santa is St Nicholas! Thanks for your lovely and inspiring blog.
