Trying to find a gift for that hard-to-shop-for someone on your list? Want a gift that would be useful as well as beautiful? Want to support moms who are earning money in cottage industries so that they can stay home and homeschool thier children? Then look no further! Here are some wonderful gift ideas that are sure to please the recipient and your purchase(s) will support homeschool families:2007 Calendars by The Pioneer Woman
I encourage you to visit Ree's blog, Confessions of a Pioneer Woman, and look at her other photos. If you find any that you fall in love with (I have about a dozen) that you would love to have, email Ree at ree@thepioneerwoman.com and ask about purchasing a print.
Anyone who has read Ree's blog has enjoyed not only her wry wit and brilliant storytelling abilities but has also marveled at her wonderful photographs. Her subjects range from the many emotions and experiences of her family members to their family's active ranch life and fascinating nature close-ups. Fortunately for us, she has collected some of her favorite photographs into two beautiful calendars.
The first contains a collection of images that tell the story of life on their frontier ranch. Click on the cover image below for ordering information and to view the other images included. A word of warning: Ree's storytelling style is very blunt and true-to-life. The same is true for the stories she tells through her photos... especially her ranch life photos. So, if you don't want two months of the year where you gaze upon images of castrated calf-nuts, this calendar is not for you.
The date squares on both calendars are 1.25" high and 1.75" wide.

The second calendar is a collection of Ree's nature close-ups. I am planning on ordering one of these for myself. Click on the cover image below for ordering information and to view the other images included.

The Foil Hat, Inc. - Soaps
Happy Shopping!
Amy at The Foil Hat, Inc. has a wonderful sense of humor and a cleverly transparent writing style. Reading her blog, I have laughed until I cried reading about her boys' odorous attempts to mummify a chicken (dubbed 'Gebu'... yes, they named him) and her backfired attempt at a creative, quick supper which resulted in "boobie biscuits"... just to name a few (I don't have room to name them all). Oh, I can so relate to many of her experiences and am glad there is someone out there to remind me laugh about such things.
Amy also loves to make soap (when she can get the coconut oil container open), and she offers a wonderful variety of scents, colors, and gift packages. Her gift baskets also come with rubber ducks donning foil hats, thus her slogan "You're safe with us." (When I read that slogan for the first time, I knew I was gonna like this woman! It makes me think of the movie Signs.) I am planning on sampling every soap I can get my grubby little hands on. She also supplies soaps for fundraisers and wholesale for you to sell in your own gift baskets or store with your own label! She also has the best customer service that I have experienced in a long time.
So please stop by her site and peruse all of the different soaps she has available and pick some up for yourself... oh yeah, and buy a couple of Chrsitmas gifts there too, while you're there. Just click the picture below to get started:
