What Customers Love About My Advent Angel

We’ve been completely overwhelmed (in the best way) by all the new families joining the My Advent Angel tradition this season.

Advent Angels have been “flying” out all over the country and we are thrilled to see how families, educators, and parishes have embraced this faith-filled tradition to make Advent meaningful and fun—offering a heartfelt alternative to a certain mischievous elf.

This past week, a customer made our day when she ordered SEVEN My Advent Angel Gift Sets! She is handing them out as gifts for Advent. We can’t begin to describe the joy we feel at so many falling in love with our tradition that helps keep Christ at the heart of Christmas.

Thank you for being part of our story!

What our customers are saying…

“I have never seen such a beautiful gift for a child.” —Kathleen, Mom

“I got one for each sets of my grandkids and one for myself. So incredibly well done and charming!” —Jan, Grandma

“I’m getting this for my adult daughter who is away from the Church. It's so beautiful, I hope it will touch her heart.” —Carol, Mom

“I gave it to my kids when I got home and they went crazy for it! Such a fun idea and combining it with faith just takes it to a whole other level. So awesome. Thank you!” -Rosanna, Mom

“I bought three sets for each of my grandkids. It fills me with joy to know I’m not just buying junk they will be throwing away in a year, but even more than that it will be passing on the faith. I haven’t found a gift this good in years.” -Annette, Grandmother

“This is just what I need for my classroom. Something positive and fun to keep my kids thinking about being good and learning about the virtues. You really need to get this going in Catholic schools everywhere.” -Elizabeth, 3rd Grade Teacher

“I don’t have children in my life right now, but I bought one for myself. This product blew me away. I love the packaging and the doll being handmade is such an incredible touch. You just don’t see things like this anymore. I wish I had this for my daughter when she was growing up. I was a single mother and would have loved to have had this kind of positive reinforcement. I am praying for your success, the world needs this.” -Jane, Mom

“I am getting this for my nephew who has a daughter. This is just the thing his church community would love. I could see this catching on like wildfire.” -Mary, Great Aunt

"What a beautiful apostolate!" -JoAnn

“My son and his wife just had a baby and my daughter is engaged, so I got one for each of them. The beautiful drawings on the pages are so captivating, and the message so sweet, it brought tears to my eyes. Thankful you both took the time to bring this into the world.” -Marcy, Grandmother

"My Advent Angel is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful new tradition for Advent." -Father Mike, Pastor

“I can’t believe this is only your first year releasing this product. It looks so polished.” -Lauren, Gift Shop Owner

“This is such a great idea. People are going to love this. The doll is an heirloom piece and the illustrations are gorgeous. I pray it does well.” -Hannah, 20-something Artist

"My Advent Angel is exactly what the world needs, especially our parishioners who tend to be too worldly. This would help guide them back to the true meaning of Christmas." -Father Sudeep, Pastor

"My daughter is almost 6 and has really connected with the My Advent Angel doll. She takes her everywhere and wants to tell everyone about her. She is a very strong-willed child and has a temper but I have seen a difference in her behavior since using the Virtue Cards. I'm impressed, and I can say learning more about the virtues has already helped me be a better mom too." -Meghan, Mom

We are grateful this growing tradition is bringing people as much joy as we felt in creating it for them. Whether you’re curating your own family traditions or choosing gifts for your favorite people, My Advent Angel is made to treasure. A heartfelt thank you to all our customers. Your trust in us means the world and we are grateful from the bottom of our hearts for your enthusiasm and support!

Hi, I'm Catherine—mom of three, wife to one very amazing husband, and the heart (and night owl) behind My Advent Angel.

Years ago I worked with the producer of Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ to write and produce the film The Dating Project. I’m also the author of Gather Together: Recipes and Reflections to Build Friendships Around the Table (Ave Maria Press). Both of those projects grew out of the same desire that still motivates me now: to build up relationship culture around Jesus—whether that be in dating, at a dinner party, or in the domestic church. If My Advent Angel helps even one child fall more in love with Jesus, my heart is full.
