This year, we are trying to get our holiday shopping done early… and while our FAVORITE gift to give is always a box of Five Marys meats 🙂 here are a few more of my favorite items that I’ll be gifting this year to those I love most!

While these picks might be geared more towards country life… since I am the “Country Sister” – you can check out my sister’s picks on her blog post called “City Sister’s Gift Guide” HERE

A great gift idea for anyone on your list this year! Take it from these three : )

YEARLY CO

In almost every photo, you’ll see me wearing my stack of Yearly Co Bangles. My sister started this company after being inspired by a family tradition that started over 60 years ago. Every single year on their wedding anniversary, the women in our family add another 14k gold bangle to their collection to symbolize the milestone. I wear them EVERY SINGLE DAY. They show the bends and curves of hard work, but have NEVER broken throughout my 6 years of ranch work. They are such a beautiful gift to celebrate marriage, milestones, and more! The Original Bangle is a classic bangle that closely resembles the bangles that first began our family tradition, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. You can also get the original bangle twisted, notched, or hammered. Here are a few others that I love…

SOME OF MY FAVORITES from YEARLY CO:

The Engraved Initial Bangle: Create a custom bangle or bangle stack for a special lady with her a single letter that holds significance in her life! Every mother or grandmother loves a subtle and sparkly reminder of the people they love.

Another favorite: The Diamond Milestone for a wife or mother in your life. Multiple stones could represent her children and grandchildren… available in yellow, white, and rose gold!

Puff Pendant Necklace : The Grand Puff has been a favorite for an everyday, solid gold necklace. Get yourself the classic and The Baby puff for a sister or friend to stay connected all year round… available in yellow, rose, and white gold!

Diamond Huggies, Gold Threader Hoops, and Ball Studs… A great option for a gift – beautiful earrings and you can’t go wrong with any of these options! They are all available in yellow, rose, and white gold.

DUCK FEET BOOTS

These cozy boots are my favorite ranch-life indulgence for fall and winter months. They are so well made, they hold up through chores, mud and snow. Leather outside and shearling fleece inside – the ARHUS are my favorite! Followed close behind by the SILKEBORG taller version.

ARTE ITALICA

Our good family friend Ann Skidmore founded Arte Italica to source really quality Italian pewter pieces here in the US. We lost Ann way too young to cancer 7 years ago and miss her everyday. I love the reminders of her in my heirloom Arte Italica pieces.

I love this company so much and their unique pieces really add personality to whatever room you choose to use them in. They have pretty much every piece of dinnerware, serveware, and barware that you could possibly need or want, and every piece is more gorgeous than the next. They are an investment but make incredible gifts to be passed down to generations.

Shop the Arte Italica Collection HERE. And a few of my favorite heirloom pewter and ceramic pieces here (click photo for links).

SOLO STOVE

We have the Solo Stove Fire Pits up at camp (the Bonfire and Yukon version). We’ve used them for years and love that they’re portable and smokeless. Since I know what quality products they make, I was excited when they recently came out with a grill! We used it last night with our dry aged meat 🙂 The 360º portable charcoal grills are a great way for everyone to sit around and enjoy a BBQ together. We really appreciate the short and tall stands they have to adjust the height.

Who knows… this might be hint about something coming up in the Instagram Holiday Giveaway too! 🙂

---

United States Stove Co.

We LOVE using our meats in the smoker. You can grill, roast, barbecue, and smoke with the US Stove Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker. They provide a perfectly steady temperature throughout the whole grilling time and they are super easy to clean. If your family loves trying out different meat recipes, these are definitely worth a look (there are 3 to choose from!)

---

Crow Canyon Enamelware

We have a bunch of Crow Canyon plates, bowls, and serving utensils that we use all the time up at camp. The enamel pieces are SO durable and I think they’re really cute too! I especially love the black and white splatter look and we use the white with black rim enamel tumblers and plates at the restaurant. They all hold up so well!

---

Lucchese Boots

Lucchese Boots are traditional Western boots handcrafted with the most premium leathers and we SWEAR by them here on the ranch and we have multiple pairs since we wear them so much… just take a look at our pictures and you’ll see what I mean 🙂 Here are some of our faves…

My Current Favorite : The Darlene

My Tried & True Pair : The Cassidy

My Dream Boots (for a splurge!) : Oakley Greer

The Girls’ Pick : The Ruth

Brian’s Pick : Livingston Boot

GIVE’R GLOVES

These gloves are the best! They have children’s mittens, Frontier mittens (warm + 100% waterproof + all-leather), 4-Season gloves, and the Classic Give’r gloves. The best part… you can add a CUSTOM BRANDING! How cool is that?!

---

Sonnenglass Solar Jars

I really like the look of mason jars, so I love having these Sonnenglass lights around the ranch! When you leave these out in the sun during the day, they store up solar energy and they release light at night. They come with a handle so you have the option of hanging them up too – from rope to branches – there are tons of ways to use these guys. Also, they just came out with a cute MINI version this year.

Here is link for FREE SHIPPING!

Festa Paper – Personalized Stationary

Francesca just made us a beautiful set of custom Five Marys stationary and I can’t wait to write all the letters! I’ve known Francesa for a long time, we grew up in the same hometown, and I am so proud of the business she has built making custom paper products. She is in our M5 Entrepreneurs course & community too! Her turn-around is super quick and she can design whatever your heart desires! ORDER HERE.

---

Pendleton Towels

We use these Pendleton towels ALL THE TIME around the ranch – especially up at camp during the summer. They are super high quality, heavy towels and they come in lots of fun designs.

---

Staub

I absolutely love cooking with Staub products. They are not only beautiful, but they also really intensify the taste and flavors of your food. I typically reach for the ‘cocette cast iron’ for most of my dishes, but everything they make it so great!

---

Zwilling Pro Knives

A sharp knife is the most important kitchen tool you own! Zwilling knives are my go-to and this Zwilling PRO Knife set is not only on sale for a smokin’ deal – it’s the only knife set you’ll need! The Pro set with sharpener to the right is the one I have in my new Test Kitchen… and below are three more of my favorite picks for gifting.

The perfect gift for anyone who spends any time in the kitchen. 🙂

I also love this all black Zwilling Pro knife kit with a few more options if you are looking to spend a little more. Also on sale!

If you’re just looking for a solid PRO Knife Starter Set this is a great trio of three handy all-purpose knives.

And this would be my go-to pick for a fantastic Pro Zwilling Gift Set – everything you need plus I love the magnetic bar to free up counter space and keep all of your knives at arms reach.

Petzl Headlamps

The Petzl Duo S is the Cadillac of headlamps! It’s pricey, at $449 base (but you can usually find 20% off HERE on Backcountry or HERE on Moosejaw.

The difference? “The DUO Z2 is powered by four AA batteries and the DUO S is powered by a 3200 lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. The DUO Z2 operates with four lighting modes plus a BOOST mode that temporarily increases the brightness to 430 lumens. The DUO S has five lighting modes and a BOOST mode that puts out 1100 lumens.”

The Petzl Duo Z2 is almost half the price and also a really great headlamp at $249! Find it on Amazon HERE.

Welly FIRST AID Tins

This right here is a picture of our bathroom shelves… BOOTS AND BANDAGES! We turn to our Welly kits quite often here on the ranch. Welly First Aid brand bandages and first aid supplies are great quality and the reusable tins are my favorite for lots of things.

The Excursion or Adventure Kits pictured above are giant Welly tins that snaps shut and holds all the supplies you need to grab at home when you need it or keep in your car, classroom, RV or backpack for adventures!

They make great stocking stuffers too!

The Bravery Badges Kit

The Travel Medicine Kit

The Handy Bandies Kit

Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler

My sister has been RAVING about this Dyson Airwrap Styler so this one might be on my list this year. She loves how it dries and styles her hair at the same time, so she is good to go within 20 minutes.

It’s engineered for multiple hair types and styles and it’s propelled by the Dyson digital motor, so you can curl, wave, smooth, and dry with no extreme heat. It’s definitely not cheap, but it’s pretty much all of your hair products in one (also great for traveling!) and the Dyson brand is always a winner in my experience!

Check out my sister’s other picks on her blog post called “City Sister’s Gift Guide” HERE!

Novogratz Rugs

Our friends Bob & Cortney Novogratz have made a lifestyle brand from their family of 9’s incredible eye for design. Did you ever catch them on their Bravo Show “9 By Design”?!

I LOVE their furniture and rug collection and have them all over the Guesthouse and the Big House – their indoor/outdoor rugs are really great quality and the ones we use outside our horse trailer for rodeos. They take a beating and hold up to anything! On super sale at Wayfair right now.

Their WELCOME Doormat is my favorite! I really cute gift at just $32.99 on Wayfair.

---

Riding Free Tack & Resistol Ride Safe Helmets

My girls’ favorite place to be is around their horses.

Now that we head to the rodeo on most weekends, we rely on Resistol Ridesafe Helmets to keep them safe while they are riding. They are designed specifically for equestrian use, they are safe, comfortable, and they still maintain the classic Western cowgirl look.

And we LOVE our Riding Free Tack Kids saddles and lightweight tack to make riding horses so much more approachable and accessible for kids. Their saddles are affordable, well made and best of all – many designs are lightweight so kids of all ages can tack their own horse! Check out Amber & Abby HERE!

Family Fun

Board Games & Strategy Games

When we can, we love to huddle around the wood stove with a game that the whole family can play and actually really enjoy. From Tess in 2nd grade, to Francie in 7th grade… Our top 3 board games are Sequence, Otrio, and Qwirkle. The games that require a bit of strategy are Splendor, Azul, and Ticket to Ride.
