Simple Living Gift #1. Composter

One of my favorite things to do is to create something out of nothing. In this case, turning kitchen scraps into gardening gold.

Even though I have a large compost pile out back, I love this little indoor kitchen composter I keep below my kitchen sink.

It is made of ceramic and has a filter to keep the smell down. And when I use the bags that come with it, I can so easily take the contents out back and toss them in.

No more making daily trips; now, I make one every other week and keep my daily to-do list a bit more manageable.

Simple Living Gift #2. Chore Sled

I am sure there is a more technical term for this chore helper, but this is the name I gave mine, and I am sticking with it.

I cannot tell you what a lifesaver this chore sled is. It helps me to get my chores done without risking injury to my back and turns an arduous chore into an easy one.

It is durable and can easily carry quite a bit. Even if I fill it with weight, I can still pull it quite easily. When it’s empty, it is lightweight as well and easy to pick up and move if I need it to.

Simple Living Gift #3. Wheelbarrow or wagon

These two gifts are listed together because it all depends on what type of person you are. Some folks are wheelbarrow people, and some folks are wagon people.

I love owning both because I have many chores where one will work better than the other.

A garden wagon is good if you have back issues, as pulling tends to be easier than pushing.

On the other hand, a garden wheelbarrow tends to be more of a workhorse, allowing you to fill it up with heavier items and still get it from point A to point B without too much effort.

Simple Living Gift #4. Firewood Carry bag

This is another super practical gift that helps to keep your back from getting sore.

A firewood carry bag is great for carrying logs of wood to your fireplace without bending over too much to pick the logs up.

I have a bad back, horrible actually, and these wood bags help me to bring in wood without too many issues.

This bag that we use is simple yet surprisingly durable. Since we heat our home almost exclusively with wood, we must bring in several loads daily.

These canvas bags work great and last quite a bit longer than expected. All in all a great help to have in a simple living home.

Simple Living Gift #5. Wood Splitter

This is one of those things that most folks need on a homestead, and on ours, it’s one of our most valuable tools.

Heating our home with wood is how we can do more with what we have on our own land.

Splitting our own wood is an economical way as well but it is a huge chore and one that does require help.

Clean out your woods of fallen trees and use a wood splitter to stock up on wood that you can then use to heat your home. One of the perks of living on a homestead.

Simple Living Gift #6. Good Boots

No matter what time of year it is, having good boots is essential. I am very picky about what I wear so when I recommend a pair of boots you can be assured they are worth the money.

Not only are they warm in the winter, but they are super comfortable, so much so that I can wear them all day without any issues.

Comfortable is also important for my back. The better the boots the less likely I am to quick work because my back is giving me issues.

These boots do not have half sizes, and they run just a bit large, so use that as your guide when you order.

Simple LIving Gift #7. Food Storage Containers

Whether or not you have animals, you may want to add this to your simple living gift list. I was so impressed with these containers and their quality I have been showing them off to anyone that comes to my home.

Made of heavy-duty plastic with twist-on lids, you can use them to store just about anything without the risk of ants or mice getting inside.

We had a bad mouse infestation in our barn one year ago, and anything stored in these containers was kept safe and sound.

I use them to store my chicken, goat, and duck feeds. You can also use them for any food storage, even for your family. Rice, flour, and sugar would all keep quite well in these containers.

Shown is large size, but they have a smaller size as well if you are looking for a more compact option.

Simple living often means bulk buying and storing. A great gift for those living the simple life are heavy duty storage containers, like these for pet food.

Simple Living Gift #7. Instant pot

For the longest time, I refused to purchase an instant pot, believing it was a fad that I did not need to clutter up my kitchen.

Then over the summer, I purchased one, and I cannot believe how much I love it! I can make soups, potatoes, veggies, and so much more; the flavors are simply amazing.

I may even prefer an instant pot over my crockpot since I can make a manly bowl of chili in half the time!

Who doesn't love an instapot? It's a simple gift for people that don't have the time to spend cooking all day.

Simple Living Gift #8. Table GArden

No matter where you live, you can have a garden. I write about this frequently on my blog because I strongly believe in it.

Growing more and buying less is so essential to a simple lifestyle.

Along with the fact that you know just exactly what you are putting into your body because you are eating foods you have grown from seed.

Patio gardens have been around for years, but recently, they have been gaining in popularity. And the best part is, if you can grow it in the ground, you can probably grow it in a pot too.

My favorite is this table garden, and it’s perfect for growing herbs. It is at a height that is easy to work and looks so good on the patio. It is also durable and does well out all summer long.

Sometimes it’s the simple tools that will help you along your journey to a simple life.

Simple Living Gift #9. Deep Fryer

Okay, maybe not the healthiest gift option out there, but if you love french fries, onion rings, or even lake perch, you need this on your pantry shelf.

There is nothing more fun than a good old french fry party, which we always have when we break this baby out.

Our deep fryer has been on our shelf for years and is going strong!

When finding a gift anyone will love, it might be best to find things that fit their life.

Any of these gifts for a simple living may be perfect for anyone that loves the outdoors and the idea of simplifying their loves and likes to create a life they truly love.
