Guy’s Guide: His Christmas List

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!

It has finally felt like spring this week 🙌🏻 It has finally felt like spring this week 🙌🏻 and because of that I’m turning to thoughts of my summer flower and veggie garden. 

With the pandemic this past year, I was more thankful then ever that I’ve been starting my plants from seed as all the local nurseries and greenhouses were sold out pronto. Plus, it lets me try out new varieties that aren’t as popular in my neck of the woods.

Starting seeds can be so fun, but I’ve made plenty of mistakes in the past, that with the blog post today I’m hoping to help you from making my same blunders. 

Check out my How-To for seed starting and troubleshooting! Link in profile.

Sunday is Valentine’s Day! Just thought I would Sunday is Valentine’s Day! Just thought I would lead with a public service announcement. I don’t have a “sweetie” to give a gift to, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy sharing cards, flowers, or most importantly chocolate with loved ones and friends. 

That’s why these simple and easy Valentine’s Day Homemade Chocolate Truffles are perfect to mix up and gift to all your favorite people. Link in profile.

The biggest question I received on social media, was how did you get your reservations at The PW Boarding House, Ree’s 8 room boutique hotel in town?

Well I’m sharing all the juicy details on the blog today, so head on over there and check it out! Link in profile!

I’ve spent hours this past month pouring through @floretflower book, taking notes, planning, and ordering seeds.

I’ve been anxious to get started... so God yesterday sent a snow storm and I was reminded “To everything there is a season...” Ecclesiastes 3:1 ❄️🌱
Is there anything more freezer friendly than a pan Is there anything more freezer friendly than a pan of lasagna?

I don’t think so...

I’m sharing my recipe for super simple lasagna that allows you to make a pan for dinner tonight and freeze a second pan for a later time or to gift to a friend or family member in need ❤️

I don’t think so...

The concept is this... the recipe makes enough to have a meal now and then a second meal to freeze for a later time. 

Killing two birds with one stone: Stock freezer ✅
Answer the question “What’s for dinner tonight?” ✅

This super simple Chili recipe fits the bill. Few ingredients and quick turnaround make it a winner in my book! 

Serve over hot dogs, Fritos, or (for all my Midwest peeps) beside a cinnamon roll!
