Backyard Gardening

Seed Packet Storage Tin

These lovely tin storage boxes make great gift ideas and are the perfect way to store your seed packets from season to season. You’ll stay organized with all your seeds in once place for the growing season.

Wood-handled Gardening Shears

Reliable and sturdy gardening shears are a great tool for pruning and harvesting. These ones are on my wish list!

Family Garden Planner

I love this garden planner! It’s great for figuring out how much to plant for your family, what gardening tasks to do each month according to your zone, and it helps you personalize your garden tasks in a monthly and weekly planner.

Window Garden Microgreens Kit

Microgreens are a useful gift and a great way to have an indoor garden all year long, especially when it’s too cold to grow fresh greens outdoors. Microgreens have higher levels of nutrients than their mature versions and are perfect toppers to your meals.

Countertop Compost Bin

Compost is an essential part of healthy garden soil and it starts by collecting your food waste from your homestead kitchen. This stylish compost bin makes that easier to do.

Bamboo Garden Markers

You won’t have to try and guess where you planted things in your garden anymore with these bamboo garden markers! These are practical gifts for those growing their own food.

Organic Gardening from a Master Gardener

Eliot Coleman’s books and innovative methods have helped innumerable organic farmers build successful farms. The New Organic Grower is a comprehensive manual that gardeners working on 2.5 acres of land or less will find especially useful.

Cooking From Scratch

Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Porcelain enameled cast iron is a beautiful cookware that can be used on the stovetop and in the oven. Use it to make soups & stews or even to bake artisan bread. These make the best gifts for newlyweds or anyone who loves to bake!

Walnut Wood Cutting Board

This gorgeous cutting board is made in the USA using black walnut wood. These make perfect Christmas gifts because they’re strong enough to hold up to daily use, but are elegant enough to be used as a charcuterie board for hosting guests.

The Prairie Homestead Cookbook

Jill Winger is an inspiring homesteader who wrote her own homestead cookbook. But it’s more than a cookbook. She teaches tools and homesteading tips too! This is an excellent gift for those who love to create in their kitchen.

Stainless Steel Measuring Cups & Spoons

When you spend hours in your kitchen cooking, baking, and canning, you need kitchen tools that will last. I have had my stainless steel measuring cups and spoons for years and they’re still looking and working great.

Lodge Cast Iron 10-inch Skillet

Cast iron has been around for thousands of year, and most homesteaders fall in love with its unique characteristics. The 10-inch skillet is the perfect size for making cobblers and pot pies.

Instant Pot

I love the Instant Pot Duo because it serves so many purposes and alleviates some of the hard work that homesteaders constantly put into food preparation. Some great ideas for using the instant pot are to make hard boiled eggs which is a leave-it-and-forget-it approach. So easy! I have also used it to make yogurt, broth, and soup. The opportunities are endless!

Bread Making

KitchenAid Professional Mixer

A great thing about this professional KitchenAid mixer is that it’s big enough to knead your largest batches of bread dough.

Naturally Non-Stick Bread Loaf Pan

This ceramic coated aluminum bread loaf pan is non-toxic, beautiful and functional. It works great with just a slight coating of butter or olive oil. This is a good idea for those trying to switch out toxic non-stick pans from their kitchen. You can choose from a few different colors to match your kitchen decor.

Banneton Proofing Basket

If you are learning to make artisan sourdough bread, you will want to purchase a proofing basket for the second rise. This is a great addition to any bread baker’s kitchen.

Serrated Bread Knife

Made by a family owned company in Oregon, this serrated bread knife has been a game changer for cutting those really crusty sourdough loaves. It’s so much easier! Make sure you purchase either the left or right-handed option depending on your preference.

Bread Lame

If you would like to make beautiful designs on your sourdough artisan bread, you will need this bread lame/scoring knife.

Food Preservation

Everything Worth Preserving

A super helpful, all-encompassing food preservation guide with step-by-step tutorials and recipes organized by food item.

MasonTops Pickle Pipes

These little silicone tops are perfect for fermenting in your mason jars. Instead of having to take off the mason jar lids to “burp” your ferments, these airlock fermentation lids do the work for you.

10 Layer Food Dehydrator

This food dehydrator is my favorite! There are so many ways to use a dehydrator, such as making this dehydrator granola, and this big workhouse gets it done in a jiffy!

MasonTops Pickle Pebbles

Also known as glass fermentation weights, these are extremely handy for keeping your veggies submerged in brine while they ferment.

All American Pressure Canner

Having a pressure canner opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the homesteader. This 25-quart pressure canner is the perfect size –it fits 7 quart jars or 19 pint jars. I love mine!

Animal Keeping

Keeping a Family Cow

Everything you want or need to know about starting your own home-scale dairy is in this complete guide. From choosing your dairy breed to making butter, yogurt and cheese.

Egg Gathering Basket

This egg basket was given to me as a gift and I adore it! I use it every day for gathering eggs from the chicken coop.

The Small Scale Poultry Flock

This book contains great information on an all-natural approach to raising chickens. It’s great for those just getting started with their flock.

Coated Wire Egg Basket

Here’s another egg basket which is a great option for those of you gathering up to 3 dozen eggs at a time.

Gift Card

Some people prefer to buy or receive a gift card because they can select exactly what they want or need. If you want to take that route, you can purchase an Amazon gift card.

If you’re running out of time to do your holiday shopping, you can always pick up a gift card in-person.
