Catholic Gifts for St. Valentine's Day

Love is in the air! With St. Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's time to think about a gift for that special someone. Make sure you don't show up to their door empty-handed!

St. Valentine Day's Gifts for Women

• Jewelry is a classic St. Valentine's Day gift for a girlfriend or wife; this year, consider giving her an heirloom piece that reminds her of her faith. These gold Sacred Heart earrings or this beautiful Sacred Heart necklace would be appropriate choices, as would this heart locket.
• In lieu of flowers, get her a statue of the Little Flower herself, along with St. Therese of Lisieux's autobiography, The Story of a Soul. If she has a particular devotion to another saint, you can find the perfect gift here.
• Looking for a unique gift? Check out this musical picture frame with a music box! She can even customize it with different magnetic charms.

St. Valentine Day's Gifts for Men

• Men are notoriously hard to buy for, but it doesn't have to be so! If you know he has a devotion to Our Lady, replace his cheap rosary with a quality, masculine one.
• Or gift him The Imitation of St. Joseph, a beautiful spiritual guide that relies on wisdom from St. Thomas Aquinas as well as from St. Joseph's life. As the patron saint of fathers, families, and workers, anything regarding St. Joseph would be a perfect gift for the special man in your life. 
• If he's been looking for a cross to wear without a dainty chain, here's the perfect one. If he's a bit of a whimsical dresser, these candy heart socks couldn't be a more appropriate Catholic Valentine's gift!

St. Valentine Day's Gifts for Kids

• If you have kids, make sure they get a special Valentine's Day gift, too! This prayer card could be a sweet little complement to that candy bar you get them (here's one that would be good for your spouse, too!).
• Help them learn about the man behind this special feast day with the book Your Valentine, written by the popular author Anthony DeStefano.
