If there's a baby on your Christmas list, check out this ultimate gift guide for the littlest Catholics.

I know what you’re thinking: “A gift guide in October?! We're not even past Halloween yet, much less Thanksgiving!” But this year, word on the street is that you need to order gifts far, far ahead of when you’ll need them, owing to supply chain issues and postal slowdowns.

If you’ve got a baby or toddler on your gift list, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re a parent, godparent, grandparent, auntie, uncle, or caring friend, these gifts will grow with the little ones in your life, and surround them with a loving environment of faith.
