A Few of My Favorite Things – Gift Guide 2016

Kromers on noggins and planners that pops
Bright colored photos and cool raglan tops
A snowy white Christmas and all that it brings
These are a few of my favorite things

Should I keep going? I could keep going.

But I am no Julie Andrews, or Weird Al. So, I’ll stop my feeble attempt at a parody and start telling you a few of my favorite things. Plus, I have what I think is some pretty exciting news (exciting news like sales and special offers on almost all of my favorite things!) to share with you that just wouldn’t fit into the song – at least not with my skills. So, let’s just get right into it. 

 

A Few of My Favorite Things – Gift Guide 2016

 

Let me start by saying that in order to qualify as one of the few of my favorite things, items had to first pass rigorous testing by me. And as you may, or may not, know I am all about practical gift giving, so this list is equal parts practical and awesome. Because I also like awesome.

 

Kromers on Noggins. 

Of all the Kromers to have ever graced my noggin, the Harris Tweed Button up is by far my favorite. From its stylishness to the way it perfectly hugs my head and keeps it warm, I love everything about that cap. Despite my love affair with this particular style, Stormy Kromer offers many other stylish, yet functional, caps for ladies, gents, and kids alike.

Brand new to Stormy Kromer this fall is a cap called The Snowdrift, which is fast becoming my second favorite cap to have ever graced my noggin. In addition to its woolen exterior The Snowdrift is Thinsulate™-lined and features tie-up earflaps for warmth that is beyond compare.

Visit your local retailer, or go to Stormy Kromer online, if an American-made Stormy Kromer cap (or other apparel) sounds like the perfect gift for you or someone you know. 

 

Planners that Pop. 

So, I am something of a planner geek. I love planners and usually have at least two or three of them around at any one time. And that my friends is a bit strange considering my love-hate relationship with planning… Anyhow, I recently discovered the wonderfulness that is the Heart of the Farm Planner.

This planner has it all – pages for dreams and goals, monthly calendars, seasonal bucket lists, weekly dated calendar, monthly top priorities checklists, master task lists, monthly freezer inventory, weekly menu plan, a field meals planner, inspirational quotes, and gorgeous photography. See what I mean when I said “it all”?!?!

If you are interested in the planner that has it all, shop Heart of the Farm. 

 

Bright Colored Photos. 

Born out of my passion for photography, I opened Shop FFB to showcase my Ranch Life Photography. Each image was taken during my everyday life, bringing up my family and raising beef in the Sandhills of Nebraska. I recently added new images to the shop and am always looking to add more. So, please, feel free to check out my Instagram feed and let me know if there are any images you’d like to see added.

You may notice that some of my images come in odd sizes, but not to worry. I have the perfect solution – The Rusty Roof. It is my favorite place to go to shop for frames in which to place my bright colored, or black and white, photos. This custom frame shop has impeccable customer service and makes some pretty spectacular made-to-order frames. Seriously, if you do not see the size you’re looking for just shoot them a message and I know from experience that they will help hook you up with whatever you need. Visit their Etsy shop therustyroof for all of your framing needs.

Cool Raglan Tops. 

I was turned on to a little Etsy shop called Frankie Jo’s just a couple of months ago. I won a stellar Instagram giveaway that scored me a Frankie Jo’s gift certificate. I decided to go with the Small Town Baseball T Shirt, and you guys – it has become my favorite shirt. It is just so. dang. soft. And stylish. I would seriously wear it every day if it wouldn’t be weird. Would that be weird?

Visit Frankie Jo’s to check out the rest of the awesome selection. 

 

When the tree lights
When the caroler sings
When you shop with dad
Simply remember my favorite things
And Christmas shopping won’t be so bad

Okay, I promise I’m done this time. But seriously, if you are at a loss what to get those on your shopping list this Christmas come back to my favorite things. There is literally something for everyone.
