’Tis the season … to support your favorite Catholic small businesses!
Every year, I love exploring the many incredible Catholic-owned businesses and shops in order to craft this gift guide. From specifically Catholic items, to products made to serve the good, true and beautiful in every part of life, it’s reassuring to see the ways Christ is being brought to a world so desperately in need of him.
Maybe you already have inboxes and feeds bombarded with gift guides and curated lists. This can be overwhelming. However, it doesn’t need to be! Instead of feeling the pressure of finding the “perfect gift,” see your gift giving as a way to both love those around you and help build up the Body of Christ by supporting Catholic businesses.
We hope this guide is a tool for you to do just that. So without further ado, may I present the 2022 Radiant Christmas Gift Guide!

Mother of All Mothers print by Colors By Natalie
Natalie, a wife, mom of three, and incredibly talented artist, found her passion after a college job and commission for a friend turned into a thriving business on Instagram. She has this to say about her piece, “Mother of All Mothers”: “In a world full of mothers with children on this side of heaven and some in heaven itself, it’s hard to feel certain that we’re doing this whole motherhood thing right. But, if there is one sure thing that gives my mama heart peace and reminds me that I can do this, it’s this: The Mother of all Mothers, Mary most perfect and holy, the mother of Jesus who loved without sin, walks with me through this journey.”

Catholic items
Most Chaste Heart of Joseph Milagros from Leanne Bowen
Leanne is a Catholic watercolor artist whose desire to create and make are stirred from the need she sees for our culture to be touched and healed by beauty. Her Milagros are based on a beautiful Mexican tradition of gifting small religious metals when someone is in need of spiritual or emotional healing. This one, inspired by St. Joseph, features symbolism that draws into his most chaste heart that loves Jesus and Our Lady.

To read
“With All Her Mind: A Call to the Intellectual Life” edited by Rachel Bulman
From Word on Fire: “This collection of essays, written by Catholic women of diverse backgrounds and vocations, is a call to pursue what is too often excluded from our picture of femininity: the intellectual life. Following Mary, the ‘Seat of Wisdom,’ who ‘treasured’ the words of the shepherds and ‘pondered them in her heart,’ With All Her Mind shows how the feminine genius involves both affectivity and active intellectual engagement.”
