Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List

December 1, 2017 by My Farmhouse Table Leave a Comment

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List

I don’t know about you, but buying gifts for a guy is H.A.R.D- hard! Especially when the guys in your life aren’t necessarily excited about all the latest fads and newest gadgets. The men I know are farmers, ranchers, mechanics, and just good ‘ol country boys. Over the years I’ve kept tract of some of the best gifts for these hard to buy for men. Here is my Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List.

A Guy's Guide His Christmas List Christmas Ideas for Farmers Christmas Gift Ideas for Ranchers Agriculture Christmas Gift Ideas Christmas Present Ideas

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- Chain Hoist

Alright, I’ll be honest here, I had to look up this tool to remember what it’s called. And the reason I never remember what this tool is called is because around our farm it has the term, “The Son-In-Law”. The son-in-law? Yes, the son-in-law.

This all came about one day when I was helping my dad fix something in our machine shed and he asked me to hand him this chain hoist. I had no clue what tool he was talking about so he replied to my blank expression. “That one over there,” as he pointed to the bench, “it’s the son-in-law. Because that tool will be more useful to me than any future son-in-law would be!”. Have I mentioned, I am an only child and obviously my father has no faith that my future husband would be any help to him on our farm.

Anyway, let’s just say that my dad (and other family members) use this chain hoist all of the time. For mechanic repairs, fence fixing, etc. I really should just follow him around with a camera one day and document all of the different ways he uses “The Son-In-Law”. Stay tuned for that future blog post. Just kidding.

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- Leather Gloves

In the Midwest, winter gets cold; really cold. And a great usable gift, is a pair of insulated leather work gloves. Practical, but thoughtful (I mean who wants to send a loved one outside in the cold without a great pair of gloves?).

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- Metal Storage Shelves

Let’s all agree, most of the guys I know have a lot of big,  bulky, and heavy tools, gadgets, etc. My dad found these metal storage shelves a few years ago and keeps going back for more. They are set up everywhere: our basement, the garage, and in our machine shed.

The shelves are heavy duty, easy to set up, and can hold a ton of sh.. I mean stuff. They can hold a lot of stuff.

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- LED Lights

I don’t know about your guys, but mine always are in need of lights. They can never have enough flashlights, floodlights, etc. Last year for Christmas I gave dad this LED floodlight. It was originally supposed to replace an old light on our grain bin, but instead dad installed it in our machine shed. It is bright! Lights up the entire inside of the building and much cheaper than actually installing lighting. Don’t discount a man’s love of LED flashlights as well.

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- Carhartt Jacket

Almost any guy I know in these parts loves a good Carhartt coat. They are heavy duty, come in a variety of colors and are proven to keep everyone warm and toasty. A good Carhartt jacket will last a long time and be a winter clothing staple.

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- Customized Metal Signs

I love gifting these customized metal signs for Christmas, birthdays, and even weddings. They make a great present that can be designed to fit your hobbies or farm/ranch. You can choose from a variety of sizes and designs, even a mailbox topper!

Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List- Traeger Grill

Men in general love to grill. I’m guessing it has to do with the meat and fire combo. This beautiful grill is what he has been missing. I love my Traeger Grill and have used it for over 3 years! No worries about propane tanks or flare ups. Just plug it in, fill with flavored pellets, and you are on your way to some of the best steaks and burgers imaginable! Seriously the best grill you will ever find!

With Easter just around the corner I thought it wo With Easter just around the corner I thought it would the perfect time to share this simple “How To” on boiling eggs.

I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the I’m incredibly blessed that in my job I have the opportunity to meet and get to know many different groups of people from every walk of life, but occasionally… there are certain ones who find a special place in your heart.

A gentleman I’ve been working with sent met copies of this in the mail yesterday and to say I (ugly) cried is probably an understatement. 

I’m not one to push politics (especially on social media) but all I want to say is this is why history matters. Your not going to find this sort of thing written in text books… but it is in the hearts and minds of a generation quickly fading away.

What is happening in the world is not just “news”. These are people’s lives. See the pain and affect this sort of war still has on a generation 75 plus years later. 

Context:
Picture 1- Poem written by my clients grandfather sometime after his son (client’s father) was KIA in WWII. The line that got me was… “It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain… I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” 😭 I think if you have ever lost someone dear to you… you can understand that line ❤️

Picture 2-3- Note from client to me on a copy of his dad’s obituary. I think it’s easy to sense how this sort of loss had an affect on multiple generations of a family.
Anyone else out there love a good Butter Braid fun Anyone else out there love a good Butter Braid fundraiser? 🙋🏻‍♀️

It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my It’s no secret I love to travel… and one of my favorite ways to experience new cultures is through the food.

So until I can finally make it to Italy for myself, I guess making delicious pasta dishes at home like this Authentic Carbonara will have to hold me over. Link in profile.
Buy yourself the flowers. Light the ‘good’ ca Buy yourself the flowers.

Light the ‘good’ candle.

Put on a spritz of your favorite perfume, not because you are going out, but because it makes you feel special.

Open the expensive bottle of wine that you’ve been saving for the ‘perfect’ occasion, and drink it for no particular reason at all. 

Stop saying “we need to get together” to a dear friend and then never actually making plans.
Leave your sweatpants on, messy bun in, and just BE with each other. Curl up on the couch with their dogs, kids, etc and enjoy some leftover Chinese food while catching up on your favorite shows.

Life is messy and real. 
Stop living FOR the perfect and just LIVE.
Don’t wait.
Make the memories WITHIN the mess. 

That’s the mindset I’m trying to live in these days, and you know what? 

I’m happier for it! ❤️
