Homesteader Gift Guide

I am a self proclaimed homesteader wannabe. We recently moved out of the city limits and have a few acres. I’ve been longing for the day when I would walk outside and not see the neighbors. My homesteader heart is now longing for chickens, cows, a garden, and fruit trees. My husband continues to remind me to take things one step at a time. While I impatiently wait, I am reading books about all of the things I dream of doing. I am also mastering as many skills that I can in the kitchen and house. This homesteader gift guide is perfect for all of those dreamers like me or those already in the thick of it. Homesteader hearts will appreciate these gifts.

Homesteader Gifts For Kids

Child Sized Garden Tools

Pull the kids away from the screen and let them help out in the garden. Giving them their own tools will encourage them to help you. Plus is there anything better than a new shovel? It’s sure to get any tiny homesteader excited to get out to the garden.

Apron

This gift is perfect for boys and girls alike. Everybody has to eat, so they might as well learn how to make food. Whether it’s baking cookies or stirring the noodles, an apron is sure to make your little cook feel quite important.

Little House Books

This series is a classic that every child should read or have read to them. Laura sees her many homesteads through the eyes of a child. Butchering, hunting, preserving, cheese making, and sewing. The stories take us back to a simpler time and are relevant to homestead kids. The innocence of a child makes these safe to read aloud to the whole family.

Farm-Opoly

This spin on the traditional Monopoly, brings a homestead twist to family game night. The teacher in me finds it necessary to mention that playing board games helps kids learn so many different things. They learn to count, add, subtract, and subitize (recognize the number of dots on the dice without counting them). Plus, Farm-opoly is just fun to play as a family!

Slingshot

One Christmas many years ago, I was given a slingshot for Christmas. I still have that precious slingshot. It was one of the best gifts I have ever received. For ammo try bb’s or paint balls. Paint balls were always my favorite, but when it was an emergency a rock always worked too. Kids of all ages will enjoy shooting at trees and puddles.

Homesteader Gifts For Teen Girls

Loom Knitting

These looms come in all sizes. You can make hats, socks, scarves, and even blankets on them. With social media begging for the attention of our teens, it is important that we teach them how to entertain themselves without it. Loom knitting keeps their hands busy while they create beautiful things. A loom and some yarn will make any crafty girl happy all winter long.

Sewing Machine

A basic sewing machine makes a great gift for crafty or not so crafty girls alike. Learning to make curtains or repair clothing are very useful skills. Pair a machine with some fat quarters and dry corn, so that she can make corn pillows to keep her feet warm at night. Rice works too, but corn smells better.

Essential Oil Kit

Whether your young lady likes to smell good or make her own products, essential oils will help her do both. A basic starter kit would be perfect! Think about putting some roller bottles or a diffuser in her stocking too. With some guidance your teen can enjoy learning about the amazing world of essential oils.

Hope Chest Items

When I was a teenager, my mom gave me a hope chest. This is where I kept things that I hoped to use when I got married. Other family members gave me things to put in my hope chest. Over the years, I collected quite a few items. When I got married, I had pretty dishes and nice dish towels. Both my mom and I have our hope chests sitting in our bedrooms. It is a gift that can be used and eventually passed down.

Simple Farmhouse Life

Lisa Bass wrote a book full of crafts, DIYs, and recipes. This book is full of crafts, recipes, and DIYs. While your teenage girl will enjoy the crafts and DIY body products now, she will appreciate the gardening and kitchen things when she has her own home. It is a book that can grow with her. Plus it has beautiful photographs, which is always a positive in these types of books.

Homesteader Gifts For Teen Boys

Paracord

Survival bracelets were all the rage for a while, but paracord is good for so much more. Youtube is full of tutorials for teen boys to follow. I’ve personally made hundreds of bracelets and keychains, a couple of gun slings, and (my personal favorite) a bullwhip. Much like the loom knitting for the girls, paracord will teach boys to entertain themselves with something besides social media.

Hunting or Fishing License

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Buy your teen boy a hunting or fishing license. This will provide hours of entertainment and food! This gets them out of the house and away from the ever prevalent screens. They will connect with nature and appreciate God’s creation as they make use of this wonderful Christmas gift.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

A story of survival and adventure, this book is another classic. The book is about a teenage boy in a plane wreck. He is the only survivor and is stranded. With limited resources he must figure out how to survive and overcome his hardships until he is rescued. I have gifted this book and others in the series to my teenage nephews. As always, I’ve read it myself too. A couple times in fact.

Tools

This idea is along the same lines as a hope chest for the teen girls. Giving teenage boys their own tools is an ever growing gift. It starts with a hammer and toolbox, but by the time they move out it is a tool chest full of hammer, wrenches, and screwdrivers. Buying quality tools for them now will be a blessing when they are older.

Life Straw

This is more of a just for fun gift. While it can be used when camping or in a bug out bag, more than likely it will be used in whatever disgusting way the teenager can think to use it. The straw purifies water to make it safe to drink. I believe the first water my nephews drank with it was from the toilet. Second was a mud puddle I think. I used a Life Straw when traveling abroad and never once got sick from drinking tap water while using it. Whether used for gross boy things, travel or survival teen boys will enjoy testing the effectiveness of a Life Straw.
