Help me out - Catholic Mommy's

I've been looking for Catholic Christmas gifts for Landen and Amelia. I've been finding tons of things but it's starting to get a bit overwhelming. I don't know what's a big hit, so I thought I would ask those of you that read this that are Catholic. Do your kids have something that's faithful that they really love? After getting that CD I thought it'd be best to just ask others what they're kids really like and go from there. I really want to get Amelia a Mary doll, but I'm not sure if she's still to young only being 15 months. I like the Jesus dolls too. What about DVD's, certain books? I want them geared towards their ages right now (3 and 1), so many things I've heard of are for older kids. I'd love any input, please! It's getting closer and closer and I need to get on it.

My almost 3-yr old daughter loves the Donut Man. He's a bit corny, but the tunes are catchy & easy to learn and the messages are solid. She knows all the words and sings along!

We also got her a little plush nativity set last year that she still keeps in her toy box. I think it was from Current, but I don't recommend that particular one since it was poorly made. I was thinking of getting her a replacement like this or making one for this Christmas.

I found that board books on some faithful topic were good at that age.

Like a bedtime prayer book, or God's creations (ie. sun, flower, tree, horse etc), or Noah's ark.

They fit right in with other board books like counting, but faith focused. It starts to give the idea that faith isn't just for Sundays.
