It has always been a predicament for me in coming up with a gift for someone especially if that someone is religious specifically, nuns. I just can’t think of any gift except prayer cards and the bible. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with these choices but I think they are kind of cliched. That’s why I interviewed some of my friends including nuns to help me compile the gift ideas by asking their wish lists. From there, I chose 15 cool gift ideas for nuns. These items could be given on any occasion. This is good for birthdays, Christmas, the profession of vows, and other significant events.

This is probably the best gift for nuns. A spiritual bouquet is a beautiful Catholic tradition in which a person will offer a prayer for another and write it on the card. You only need to choose your prayer, it could be Novena, Rosary, Mass, or a combination of all. Then write the prayers down on a card. This is a simple but powerful gift. You can create your own card or buy it.

Here are some of the recommended cards.

Air Fryer

Airfryer has been out in the market for the past few years but made a lot of buzz in 2020 (the year we bought ours). It is basically a countertop convection oven that lets you fry your favorite dishes without submerging them in oil. Since it requires no oil, the food cooked using it is much healthier than normal frying. This kitchen appliance is also an awesome option for a gift. It could be used not only by sister but also by her whole congregation.

Instant vortex is one of the dependable brands when it comes to air frying. This model is easy to use which is good for beginners. A good buy!

Travel Bag

Some nuns travel too. To help them organize their travel essentials, gifting them a travel bag can also be an option. Things to consider in buying a bag are its capacity, design, and durability. These are some of the bags worthy of consideration.

This weekender bag has a large capacity. It has a spacious compartment that can hold clothes, documents, and other items. It is also lightweight making carrying comfortable.

Journal

Some of the Saints I know had journals in their lifetime. I, myself, started to record my daily life in a journal back in college.
