Recently, I got together with my blogging friends and we created a collection of articles with easy homemade gifts from the homestead for any occasion.
The act of homesteading naturally lends itself to doing things by hand and we often make do with the resources that are available to us in the garden, through our animals, or with herbs.
Don’t feel these just should be used during the holiday pinch, these can be made any time of the year for housewarming presents, birthday gifts, or any time you want to give a touch of home to a friend.
We’ve grouped them by the amount of time it takes to make the gift, so whether you have an hour or a month, you can make something fantastic that will WOW your friends.
