Homesteaders tend to also value sustainability and being active, so Allbirds shoes are a great gift idea! They are sustainably made from items found in nature like wool, trees, and sugar. I love wearing my Allbirds when working outside. They are incredibly comfortable, are machine washable, and can be work with activewear or jeans alike!

This Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine is a great machine for beginners. It is easy to use and a lot more affordable than other machines. If you have someone on your list who is hoping to learn how to sew, this is a great, well-made machine for beginners!
