If you got to know a priest and you are in a dilemma because you just can’t gift him anything, as they are abided by the rules, think again – there are gifts that will delight the renounced ones. What can you give to people who have renounced the world? It ought to be a gift that they do not hesitate to accept, and at the same time, the gift should be appropriate, pleasant and religious?
What can be the best religious gifts for people who like to receive spiritual gifts? Every individual is different and has different tastes. For instance if you happen to know a Catholic nun who is celebrating a special day; what on earth is the best gift and what do you want to give to her? They have vowed to live their lives in stringent ways and a materialistic gift would be the worst thing to bestow.

Your subheading Religious Gifts has a helpful 11 items. In particular, I like numbers 7 and 8, respectively regarding angel sculptures and candle holders.
What would be some examples for your third suggestion, Personalized Religious Gifts?
Some of these would also make great gifts during other times of the year as well. The music box is beautiful, and would be appropriate for a little girl's First Holy Communion.
My ex-vicar was a completely modern man: Anglican, married dad of two teens, a fitness fanatic who worked as a business consultant in addition to his 'vicaring' as he called it, and was not averse to meeting new parishioners in the pub if it was more comfortable for them. I gave him one of the new religious T-shirts for Christmas one year, the one with the quote 'God grant me the serenity...' He thought it was very appropriate, as he and his wife both used to take their dog collars off when driving, in case the urge overtook them to respond in kind to some of the idiotic driving they saw! Dear Rev John, he did so much for me. He combined the best of both worlds and I shall never forget him.
Great post, i never knew we could have gifts for monks too
It is really hard to miss the spirit of Christmas with Thomas Kinkade's designs:)
