[@susankruger4635]

This is great thank you God bless

[@karongoodine3288]

I love how Kevin listened to his wife. And she does the same. Beautiful couple.

[@MrBeav1018]

Hi Kevin and Sarah this year i dont want anything for myself .But what i do want is world peace and spend time with family.

[@theIAMofME]

This was great!!! One thing that would be a great stocking stuffer is a black light flash light. It is great for going out to find the worms on brassicas and in the summer time on Tomatoes and peppers. Love that thing.

[@LanceBailey-iu9vo]

Yes. A black light makes those tomato worms show up bright. Much easier to spot and pick them off the plant. Especially at night.

[@dinkherring2213]

I can't ask my husband for any gifts for any holiday for the next 5 years! As we were preparing Friday for our family Thanksgiving on Saturday, he suddenly had "errands" to run. First he picked up a prescription, then ran to the local hardware store. Then he called and said he needed to go to work for a little while (The plant is closed for the holiday, but he sometimes has things to do that's easier with no one else around, so I didn't question him) A little later he called again and said he had to run to Springfield to pick up something for the plant. I got suspicious then, because he ALWAYS tells me exactly what he has to pick up, and this item was just "something". (I told our boarder that he was up to some nefarious deed, but thought he might be buying himself a new recliner) When he came home, he pulled a jacket out of the closet and handed it to me and said he needed to show me something in the truck. In the back of the truck was a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer! He actually went to Marshfield and picked one up at the Ace Hardware store. We need to get a cart for it, because I just don't have a permanent spot it can live yet, but that gift will certainly wear a gift bow for a very long time, lol! And yes, I've already had requests for candy!

[@reneenewfrock5743]

Another great idea is a PRINTED cookbook!

[@theIAMofME]

Absolutely!! Especially one with family favorites and holiday dishes. My mom died 14 years ago. After she couldn"t make the whole shindig anymore, she just brought her dressing. Now, all these years later, I think this year I might have gotten it RIGHT. I never watched her make it or anything. BIG mistake. She had no recipe. I think as parents and grandparents it would be an amazing gift to have printed out all those "family favs" in some sort of book. So when we pass, there's at least a guide of ingredients if no recipe was ever used. Just the ingredients and certain technics would be a godsend, IMO.

[@AZJH8374]

Kevin, you're such a dork! Bare handed!You crack me up!

[@reneenewfrock5743]

Presto pressure canner; great idea! Also, "The Encyclopedia of Country Living" is a GREAT gift. It has everything for the homesteader!!!!

[@shellycarter155]

Instead of using kitchen scissors for really tough jobs, I bought a pair of thin and curved pruning shears. They are amazing! So much less stress on your hands, the cut amazingly well! Especially when spatchcocking either large chickens and even turkeys!

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

Oh my, Kevin is really coming out his shell these days. I love seeing you both joking around. So much fun. Great suggestions. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@sandrahubard251]

Thanks for all the great gift ideas! Kevin is adorable with his love of the plumbing hanger and taping up the box. I may have to get a box of it for my husband.🥰

[@JS-px3et]

It's surprising that I have most of the items you both showed. And the plumbing hanger has been a God send at times. Kevin, love that book. I used it for my first attempt with chickens and have loaned it out countless times. I think it's time to ask Santa for a butane torch or maybe an auger set. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@teresacarter8577]

Super great video. I wished I would’ve saw it a few years back when I started watching you guys I would’ve loved to receive these gifts from my children. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving enjoy family and friends. We all have so much to be thankful for love your videos.God bless you

[@warhursteadvideosandpictur7349]

We live in Mountain View, MO and we used plumbers tape to secure our grill to the deck. You know how the winds can be here. Happy holidays.

[@JackieHorsley-z8s]

Those would definitely make great gifts if you lived on a homestead even If you did not live on a home I think they would still make great gifts

[@karenwhite155]

We use plumbing hangers all the time! You are correct about it being useful. We also use baling wire all the time too!,

[@KokoraLife]

Everyone loves a nice set of knives! Great idea.

[@billwelch3421]

Thanks I found it. I'm over in Clinton and enjoy watching.

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

Clinton MO? I'm outside Holden, small world

[@tigerlily222]

Oh my goodness, I'm so thankful for the old timer that showed y'all the plumbing tape hanger stuff. We love it! Use it a LOT and saves time & money not replacing wooden fence posts when the holes get a little wobbly. BRAVO!

[@happyheartgardening]

I love the canning book. I have had mine for 5 years now and it is a constant for me.

[@kprairiesun]

Cool idea for this video!

[@Thingys-Jill]

I'm not sure if it was an intended pun, but I chuckled at, "These gloves are handy." I wear gardening gloves all the time. Also, that torch could possibly be used to brown merengues and creme brulee!

[@trishkcmo3683]

I have and love most of your suggestions. I just have a large backyard garden. That auger and torch was great, making my mom's hummingbird garden.

[@patricianelson7911]

I hate serrated knivess as well, with the exception of the bread/tomato serrated, and that works great.

[@sitsngigglesful]

LOVE this one!! I need to look at those knives! I have to book, the canner. I need the jump starter. I just bought that butane lighter this year because of you to cut weed cloth and now I use it for so many things! Thanks for all the ideas!

[@cheryldidier989]

You two are a gift from God to me! Your teasing each other makes me smile 😊. The way you let the Love of our Lord shine thru is so genuine and it lifts my spirit. Enjoy this time of Thanksgiving with your family and always give God the glory for all Blessings. Take Care & God Bless❤

[@debrathompson2008]

Some wonderful suggestions, Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. No gifts for us this year our hearts are going out to the destruction in North Carolina so will be gifting to a family there, wish I was wealthy to help them all. Prayers for a Blessed Thanksgiving.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for the great gift ideas Sarah and Kevin. Stay safe and have a great weekend. Fred.

[@JanA-nt3uq]

You're talking in this video and I'm adding things to my amazon cart for my husband!!! Sadly the torch wasn't available, but that's ok. He will love a couple of these ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@eddiejordan7061]

One thing I am going to get is the Ball canning book.

[@christinerakela1306]

Not a homesteader, but I still want the gloves and that mini tool. Happy Thanksgiving, have a blessed day!!

[@theIAMofME]

Leatherman has sales going on. It's that time of year, of course.

[@CH-ih6ov]

Tool is called a leatherman.

[@robingreany899]

Nice ideas. Thank you for sharing. Hearts and Flowers coming your way. ❤️💐

[@tamararobinson2069]

🤎🧡🥧🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!🦃🥧🧡🤎

[@marking-time-gardens]

Great suggestions for gift giving! (Might even gift myself a couple of these! 😂) Blessings on you two, your family and your homestead Kiddos! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵

[@shellycarter155]

What an awesome list! I want to gift ALL of them to myself!!!

[@carolynmartin9934]

Thank you for this video. I just purchased the Torch lighters for my Son-in-laws. I'm sure they can use this in many different ways.

[@AZJH8374]

Kevin, what do you use plumbing hanger for? My grandfather was a Master plumber for Reynolds Alcoa & l remember it always around. Never knew what it was for, though! What perfect content!!!❤❤ God bless you all and many prayers 📿 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 📿 🙏🏻 you guys remember the Reynolds plant on around 48th st. & VanBuren? They may have moved it by the time you moved here from Texas. &&& what a beautiful story about the couple who blessed you with Thanksgiving dinner. What state was that in?❤❤

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thank you two. I have all of these but the auger, and now it is on the way here. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@boldlygo3469]

By the way ... love your gift ideas. Gloves are a must. And I'd never seen the butane torch product before. Very cool.

[@amyv8416]

A friend gifted me that canning book. It's a wonderful resource.

[@loristanley4609]

Very helpful video but what I really like is watching you two tease each other. You really made me laugh! The video of making hot pepper sauce had me cracking up as well. ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@scubahealer]

I love me some plumber's tape. I bought it a few yrs ago after watching one of your videos

[@Splunky70]

Have a Great Thanksgiving! ❤

[@chris3m98]

Well done.

[@reesewhitt5495]

Thanks for sharing. So valuable.

[@patriciamiller1916]

Thank you! Kevin you solved two gift issues for me!! 🎉🎉

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

I have asked (for over 20 year) for paper products. Note cards, paper towels tissue (nose & toilet), graph, even books-- all types & prices can be a buck to my 1 sis sent me a bale of toilet tissue during COVID outbreak!

[@brianlykins6663]

Hey guys, great ideas. As you both proved, a great gift doesn't have to be big or expensive. Get a practical gift that someone will use every day and both of you will be happy. I hope y'all will have a happy Thanksgiving. God bless y'all and stay safe through th holidays.

[@lynsmith2698]

Omgoodness guys, I laughed so much during this video, it was awesome. I so agree with so many of your favorite things, and Kevin….i think of you whenever I suggest to hubby he should use plumbing hanger and we do. Great video guys. 🌷🇨🇦

[@joyarnett6570]

I want the hole digger......😊.

[@ninagerulski8832]

Love love love my auger! And I owe it to you when you 1st showed it. Saved me soooooo much time and pain🫶

[@monalawhorn707]

Thank you God bless you all in the mighty name of Jesus Amen

[@gnorman8852]

I thought I was done buying but you gave me a few more great ideas. Thank you!

[@dlgrilli]

Thank you! I got a couple of good ideas for my adult son who is very hard to buy for.

[@tinaschantz5000]

Oh my gosh the plumbing hanger story. Lol 😂

[@gaylacrisler9818]

I wonder if you’ve ever used an ”Anova Sous Vide”. I haven’t seen a video where you use it but you have the butane torch which you’ll need to char it . I’ve had the tenderest, yummy, rare filet cooked with it and I highly recommend it. Regardless, this video is FANTASTIC! Thank you for the great ideas. 😍

[@mihaelaleusca]

Hello Kevin and Sarah, Wishing you and yours a Blessed Thanksgiving. God Bless the work of your hands. May Jesus Christ fill your harts with joy and love and give you peace and health. thank you for all you do and for your great knowledge.

[@denisebillings4273]

Very helpful video!♥️

[@tammymarple5347]

I wanted to share what I was thinking of this morning while getting things ready for tomorrow Thankful I am thankful for : 1. My house that needs cleaning ( it means I have a home) 2. Dirty dishes in the sink (I have food to eat to make them dirty) 3. Laundry to do (I have clothes to wear) 4. Children that clutter and make too much noise sometimes ( I have healthy happy children, grandchildren) 5. Friends who call multiple times in a day. ( I have friends I can talk to and pray with) 6. The grass that needs mowing or walks that need shoveling ( I have a yard ) 7. My family no matter how crazy that gets at times. That just means God has given me a family to love that loves me back and I can share Jesus with them, pray for them, and love them unconditionally like God loves us. HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FAMILY 🦃🙏

[@JS-px3et]

My Mom always said that what she was most thankful was a sinkful of dirty dishes (same reason as you).

[@keding9159]

The auger is a game changer at planting time.

[@lorenstribling6096]

I love Kevin's duct tape art. You should put some in your store. 😄😄

[@lisayork2589]

Merry Christmas Kevin and Sarah! 🎄

[@triciasklodowske5653]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

[@belieftransformation]

Great list & fun video! Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving & blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦🌻

[@VeronicaGest72]

Kevin, you got me using plumbing hanger! Let's just say...I understand you. Thanks buddy 😊

[@BeePositive463]

What a fun episode 🥳

[@dianakarns8063]

All Great ideas!! Thank you for sharing. I have the canner, canning book and yes plumbers tape!!! 😂 I learned about that from one of your videos a few years back when Kevin is sharing how to use it!! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@TheMorganHomestead]

I have most of those already thanks to you guys!! Happy Thanksgiving! God Bless!

[@HomesteadHere]

I love this!!! Thank you

[@joanreid2804]

Such a cute video. Great gift ideas!

[@texasnurse]

Lol, I already have 5 of them!

[@sw9495]

👍 Great Video 📹

[@larrymichelleobrine3598]

Love this video... great ideas. Thank you. You 2 are cute

[@lavernfoy4591]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁

[@Cherie5353]

Kevin….I just knew that Plumbing Hanger was going to be one of your picks. LOL I have watched long enough! Love everything.

[@kriswhite1344]

Love it!! I want all 10 items! Merry Christmas 🎄❤

[@Earthmadegarden]

I call that pipe strap and I love that stuff lol!

[@tonyn3123]

My comments from experience. Henkel knives from Germany. I bought a set many years ago and they are still performing nicely. Well, much better than nicely! Since I purchased them, Hinkel is also selling knives under the Hinkel brand but produced in China. Avoid those! Make sure your knives are German steel and manufactured in Germany and I think they have the little logo twice on the German-made knives. Don't hold me to that but definitely check before buying. Best on the market in my opinion but you'll pay for the quality. Cheaper in the long run though. I agree that a very good quality kitchen knife set is imperative, homesteading or not! Pipe strapping is required of all men anywhere in any lifestyle situation! It's a necessity, like boots and hats! LOL A self-starting torch is another requirement for all men. But I still prefer the propane. Thanks.

[@dshollins5864]

Thank you for great ideas. I wrote some down and now ready to shop.

[@valinajames209]

Grippie....I love that technical term Kevin!

[@AnneQ-bk6wi]

We have many of these items. My husband needs new work gloves but his hands are hard to fit, so likely it will not be a surprise.

[@jessidutton3441]

Great video guys! Wonderful ideas on what to buy for myself, lol 😅

[@juliannrowland6552]

What awesome ideas.. You really do think of everything. Kevin, I totally understand why you have to have so many butane lighters because 3 is 2, 2 is 1, 1 is none. Right..?!?! 😊

[@Linda-zi1ds]

What a great post!

[@rockyusa2012]

Great ideas

[@paulfrizzell31]

👍great video

[@wandaleimkuehler896]

I used a propane torch and was always so frustrated with the wind blowing it out. Now, guess what I want for Christmas? 😂

[@Susan-n3o3e]

Kevin and Sarah this was a very interesting video and I’m sure a lot of people got good advice from you guys. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful blessed Thanksgiving. 🙏🦃🙏

[@Cherie5353]

Plumbing hanger= Duct tape LOL You just have to have both. ❤

[@tiarewilliams9186]

You can't gift a knife set, it'll cut your friendship. You can gift a penny with one and then "sell" the knife set to the recipient. :)

[@forrestgump9576]

Lots of nice ideas! May you and your family, and all viewers have a wonderful Thanksgiving!🦃🥔🌽🍠🍝🥧😊

[@kaybusby7507]

Great ideas thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving

[@HorseyGal4ever]

Love this content! 😇🥰

[@sharongiesbrecht8417]

So interesting, always need ideas for those men I our life's.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Sarah, and Kevin, Excellent gift suggestions! As a homesteader myself, I have most of those handy suggestions. I giggled to myself when Kevin stated he miss placed his multi-tool. Bought a new one, then found the multi-tool 2 months later outside (OMG....my husband lost um....actually misplaced several tools. Bought new replacements, and months later found the misplaced tool). Now he has multiple versions of the same tool. Have a Happy Thanksgiving🦃

[@terrywaters3062]

Great video

[@thomasgleaton685]

...it's called banding iron...

[@sharonp6762]

Excellent ideas!! Thank you!
