A Little Extra Love this Season - Christmas Card Stuffers
7th Nov 2025
Send a Little Extra Love this Season
Christmas cards already warm the heart—but sometimes you want to tuck in just a bit more without wrapping a full-blown gift. Think of it as sending a tiny care-package of faith: a holy card that slips between lines of handwritten gratitude, a rosary card that turns a commute into prayer, a wafer packet of Oplatki that lets the family share blessing at the table.
Below you’ll find our favorite “envelope-friendly” extras, plus quick mailing tips so everything arrives uncrushed and on time. Click the product name to view the categories.
| Item | Why It Delights | Mailing Note |
|---|---|---|
| Saint Stickers | Perfect for kids’ phones, water bottles, notebooks. | Flat & Flexible |
| Holy Cards | A ready-made prayer the recipient can slide into a Bible or wallet. | Laminated or paper—fits under standard ¼″ thickness |
| Bookmarks* | Encourages devotional reading long after the holidays. | Same as a holy card: flat, machinable. |
These items don't require any additional postage or special envelopes. Excellent for adding to the sentiment of the Christmas Card you're sending.
*This is regarding flat paper or laminated bookmarks. Bookmarks with tassels or magnets can't go with a standard forever stamp and will require a non-machinable stamp or to go into a padded envelope.
| Item | Why It Delights | Mailing Note |
|---|---|---|
| Credit-Card Rosary | Beads molded into a card; prayer on the back. | About 2 mm thick—add an extra-ounce stamp or mark “non-machinable.” |
| Holy Card with Medal | Prayer on the front, saint medal sealed inside—lasting keepsake. | The metal bump makes the letter non-machinable. Add a non-machinable-surcharge stamp (or use a small bubble mailer). |
| Bifold Holy Card
|
Folds open to reveal Scripture or novena—more space, same slim profile.
|
Still flat and bendable; one Forever stamp covers the extra panel thickness. |
A simple card already says “Merry Christmas.”
Slip in a holy card, a tiny medal, or a bifold prayer, and it also says:
I remembered you.
I’m praying for you.
Your faith matters to me.
These lightweight extras become bookmarks in a Bible, tokens in a pocket, little anchors of hope on hard days. They’re proof that behind the handwriting on the envelope is a heart that cares—not just about the season, but about the soul who receives it.
| Item | Why It Delights | Mailing Note |
|---|---|---|
| Oplatki Christmas Wafer | Eastern-European custom: break and bless together before the Christmas-Eve meal. | Feather-light but fragile—tuck in a small padded envelope and wrap in bubble wrap for extra protection. |
| Advent Novena / Devotional Booklet | Prayer guide to share with family or friends; helps everyone prepare hearts for Christmas. | Heavier (8 oz–1 lb) and slightly rigid—pack in a padded envelope or small mailer and use First-Class Parcel or Priority pricing. |
A wafer to taste, a novena to pray—both carry centuries of Catholic tradition and turn a simple Christmas greeting into a gift of faith.
Tuck faith-filled extras in safely. Anything that’s thick, rigid, or has raised edges can catch in postal machines—ripping your envelope, damaging the card, and even shredding neighboring mail.
When in doubt, add a non-machinable-surcharge stamp or slip the gift into a small padded envelope. A little extra care ensures every blessing arrives intact.
Remember:
-
Flat items (bifold cards) ride for a single Forever stamp.
-
Three-Dimentional or metal items (holy card + medal) need a non-machinable surcharge—or a padded mailer if you prefer extra padding.
Choose the insert that fits your budget, add the right postage, and let every envelope you send carry a bit of Christ’s light to the mailbox it meets.
Happy mailing—and happy Advent preparations from all of us at F.C. Ziegler Co.!
