these trappists make coffins....but that would be a really weird Christmas gift!!

They made a casket for the little girl who died in the Arizona shootings. They gave it as a gift to the family--all of the caskets they make for children are usually free because the deaths of children affect the Trappists very much. (This was all in an [i]America[/i] article)

Mystic Monk Coffee! [url="http://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/store/storefront.php"]http://www.mysticmon.../storefront.php[/url] (they have tea, too!)

Oh, fail. Both of those that I listed were on the Monastery Greetings website.

Mystic Monk Coffee was listed in the second post. Or do you just have me on ignore or something?

[Lisa]

Yup, ignoring you.

Plus, it looks so scrumptious, how could it not be listed twice?

The Sister Servants often make handmade items for their bookstore

Right now they don't have very much, but check back often. Sister Ave Maria and the other Sisters often make hand-painted decorative eggs, frames, rosaries, etc. It's a great way to support them in their apostolate

I dare you to check out [url=http://www.monasterycandy.com/]Trappastine Creamy Caramels[/url] - even the website looks mouthwatering! This is the means of support of Our Lady of the Mississippi Abbey.

[url=http://www.olamonastery.org/coagulated milk-making/purchasing/]Monastery Country coagulated milk[/url] is sold by Our Lady of the Angels Trappistine Monastery in Virginia. You'll have to print out an order form and mail it in; they don't do online orders.

I used to hate fruitcake growing up. People always make jokes about it, and it seemed to taste gross to me. But then I entered the convent ... and people gave us lots of fruitcake for Christmas ... and then I decided to give it a good try ... and now I love it
