OLVS recently had the opportunity to be featured on Catholic365’s 2025 Christmas Gift Guide, which is jam-packed with shopping ideas from Catholic small businesses and independent creators alongside books sold and recommended by Djalaih Jones, wife of OLVS Director Scott Jones. 

The guide has product suggestions for a wide variety of recipients – men, women, babies & toddlers, older children, and homeschool parents. Fine dining fans and home decor mavens are also represented, and there are even ideas for Catholic stocking stuffers! Saving the best for last, seven wholesome and Catholic-values-approved book titles round out the list. 

Come Rack! Come Rope! by Robert Hugh Benson (1912) is a lesser-known title but one that’s sure to become a favorite in your house. Set in 16th-century England, a savagely unfriendly time for Catholics, Come Rack! Come Rope! is a powerful reminder of the bravery needed to live out our faith – a bravery that comes only from God. 

Another highlight of the gift guide is Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt (1964), a Civil War tale of family drama, resilience, and hope. When two brothers join the Union army and a third joins the Confederacy, the family members left behind must learn to live with loss, emotional turmoil, and faith. 

By purchasing books from OLVS for the readers on your shopping list, you’re helping to preserve traditional Catholicism and promote high-quality, morally-sound literature for generations to come. OLVS is proud to join Catholic365’s list of dedicated Catholic businesses to support this holiday season.
