Whelp, the holidays are over y’all. Our Christmas was grand, I hope you all had a great one too! As I’m looking over the gifts so purposely given to RancherMan & me, I’m incredibly touched at the thoughtfulness of them.
Many of you like to give low-waste gifts so I thought it would be fun to share some of the fun gifts that RancherMan & I received. They were environmentally friendly low-waste Christmas gifts and very well suited to our tastes.

When someone you know is having a baby, you want to get a little something for them, right? But what?
How about getting several little baby items and displaying them into a pretty wreath?
That results in a dual-purpose gift. The parents-to-be could use the pretty wreath to decorate the nursery until the baby is born. Then they can use each of the items as needed. And a baby wreath is super easy to put together too!

As is our tradition, RancherMan & I are making many of our Christmas gifts ourselves. This year we’ve been busy making several different kinds of gifts. I’ve also been experimenting with making extracts – it’s all been so much fun!
I thought homemade mint extract might make great gifts. But I needed to purchase small jars to hold the extract.
But it just seems… I don’t know – not quite right to go to the craft store & buy small bottles. Thankfully I’ve found an alternative that works beautifully – check out today’s Homestead Hack.
