Gifts of Renewal: A Catholic Springtime Gift List

Spring is here - you can feel it in the air (despite some weather fluctuations)! Of course, this season of renewal where the world seems to come out of its wintertime slumber to enjoy longer days, warmer breezes, and blossoming gardens is especially meaningful for Catholics. Its those early days of spring that bring us Easter, the pinnacle of the Church calendar. 

At Amazing Grace Books and Gifts, we love sharing the joy and color of spring. Keep reading for some of our favorite springtime and Easter gifts!

Flower Power

• Jot down to-do lists, grocery lists, or any kind of list in this beautiful notepad covered in joyful pastel flowers. A Bible quote on the front will bring you peace while planning your hectic days - "He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge. (Psalm 91:4).
• Hang up this dazzling suncatcher in a window to filter springtime light and color into your home.
• Refresh your dingy cooking spatula with an eye-catching floral spatula that will remind you of God's grace. It'll make your Easter cookies taste that much better!
• Give a friend a just-because gift to let her know you're thinking of her. This music box with spring flowers and birds is a great option!
• Keep your house smelling as fresh as the air outside with a geranium-scented candle.

Garden with God

A Time of Rebirth

It is fitting that Easter falls near the beginning of spring, the yearly season of rebirth. Jesus's Resurrection proved his divinity and brought victory over death - not only His own death, but ours as well. So while enjoying the warm breezes of spring and blossoming buds in the garden, remember the One who makes not only this yearly renewal possible, but also our own personal renewal.
