Homesteading is all about slowing down and taking time to appreciate good conversation, things that are handmade, good food, and most of all living a happy life. When it comes to Christmas gifts we tend to materialize things a lot. Sometimes getting back to the basics and giving simple thoughtful gifts is what it’s all about.

Homemade granola is delicious and makes the perfect gift this holiday season. Gift it in a jar they can re-use and decorate it with natural ingredients and they are sure to remember your thoughtful gift above the rest.

Gather fresh pine, cinnamon, pretty ribbon, and something like a tiny bell and you have beautiful wrapping that is simple and timeless.
